The equipment required to remove an on-deck oil spill on a barge transferring oil must either be carried on board or __________.

🔍 Key Concepts

• 46 CFR requirements for oil transfer operations on tank barges • Location and accessibility of on-deck spill clean-up equipment • Role of the terminal/shore facility vs. the vessel during transfers

💭 Think About

• Think about who is immediately responsible for handling a small on-deck spill that occurs during the transfer. • Consider which location or arrangement would allow the fastest possible response without delay or dependence on outside parties. • Ask yourself: which option best matches how regulations treat required equipment—must it be physically present, or just available somewhere?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify in 46 CFR whether required spill removal equipment can be only "available by contract" or must be physically present and readily accessible. • Check if regulations require the equipment to be kept specifically at the hose connection or more generally at a readily accessible location. • Confirm whether the rule talks about a tug standing by at all for this particular requirement.
