Q

No person may serve as the person-in-charge of both the vessel and the facility during oil transfer operation unless __________.

🔍 Key Concepts

• Person-in-Charge (PIC) responsibilities during oil transfer operations under 33 CFR Part 155 • Requirements for simultaneous control of vessel and facility during oil transfers • Role and authority of the Captain of the Port (COTP) in approving exceptions to normal safety rules

💭 Think About

• Think about why it is normally unsafe for one person to be in charge of both the vessel and the facility during an oil transfer. What extra safeguard would be needed to make this acceptable? • Compare each choice and ask: which one provides a formal, documented safety control rather than just a physical convenience? • Which option aligns with situations where regulations allow deviations from standard practice, especially in pollution-prevention operations?

✅ Before You Answer

• Check 33 CFR Part 155 related to oil transfer operations and the definition/role of the person-in-charge (PIC) • Verify which entity has explicit regulatory authority to approve or permit exceptions to normal transfer arrangements (critical). • Confirm whether "ready access" or being "immediately adjacent" by themselves meet any specific regulatory requirement, or if something more formal is needed.
