To serve as the person in charge of oil cargo transfer operations onboard a self-propelled tank vessel, an individual must __________.

🔍 Key Concepts

• 46 CFR Part 13 – Tankerman qualification requirements • What the Coast Guard means by Person in Charge (PIC) of transfer on a tank vessel • Whether company letters, age, or just having a license alone satisfy federal credential/endorsement requirements

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: when oil cargo is being transferred on a tank vessel, does the law require a specific USCG credential/endorsement, or can the company simply decide who is qualified? • Consider which option describes a formal Coast Guard authorization versus something that could be informal or unrelated (like age or just any license). • Think about whether the person actually overseeing the hoses/valves/manifolds needs a specialized cargo-transfer qualification, or if any licensed officer automatically meets the standard.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify in 46 CFR Part 13 what credential or endorsement the person in charge of transfer must hold. • Check which choices reflect a USCG-issued endorsement versus internal company documentation or general licensing. • Make sure the requirement is about specific cargo-transfer qualification, not age or generic licensing.
