The operator of a vessel subject to the pollution regulations shall keep a written record available for inspection by the COPT or OCMI. What will this record contain?
• 33 CFR pollution prevention recordkeeping requirements for transfer operations • Responsibilities of the person in charge of transfer operations • What information the Coast Guard wants immediately available during an inspection
• Which of these items would an inspector MOST need to verify quickly to ensure safe, pollution‑free transfer operations? • Think about whether the regulation is focused on equipment details, personnel accountability, or both. • Ask yourself: is the record about one narrow topic, or a general transfer‑operations documentation requirement?
• Check in 33 CFR whether the written record is tied specifically to person in charge designations. • Verify if hose specifications and relief‑valve test data are normally kept in separate technical records or in the same log as transfer personnel information. • Confirm whether the regulation uses language like "including but not limited to" or if it lists a single required item for that particular written record.
