Q

U.S. regulations require which of the following upon completion of oil transfer operations?

🔍 Key Concepts

• 33 CFR Part 155 – Oil or Hazardous Material Pollution Prevention Regulations for Vessels • What the person in charge of transfer operations is required to verify when transfer is completed • Differences between: pollution-prevention requirements vs. general good seamanship or company procedures

💭 Think About

• Look at each option and ask: which one is clearly tied to preventing an oil spill immediately after transfer stops, as required by U.S. regulations? • Consider what would physically stop any more oil from moving between the ship and shore once the operation is declared complete. • Which option describes a step that must be taken every time by regulation, not just something that might be recorded later or done only on certain types of vessels?

✅ Before You Answer

• Check 33 CFR Part 155 sections on completion of oil transfer operations and what the person in charge must ensure is done. • Ask whether air-blowing hoses is actually required by law or can sometimes be dangerous or prohibited. • Decide which option most directly ensures that no further oil can unintentionally flow after the operation is completed—that’s the one the regulation is focused on.
