🔍 Key Concepts
• 33 CFR (Title 33 of the Code of Federal Regulations) generally covers navigation, navigable waters, and pollution control
• Each part number under 33 CFR groups related topics together (operations, equipment, environmental protection, etc.)
• Think about which topic would most logically involve shoreside facilities and ship/shore procedures
💭 Think About
• Which of the choices sounds most related to ports, terminals, and waterfront facilities rather than what happens out at sea?
• Ask yourself: if there were a spill risk during cargo handling alongside a pier, which topic would the regulations most likely be organized under?
• Which answer choice most clearly involves both vessels and facilities and needs detailed procedures and safety rules?
✅ Before You Answer
• Match Title 33 with its main focus: navigation rules and pollution prevention / waterfront safety, not general vessel design standards
• Decide which option would require detailed rules for hoses, connections, communications, and emergency shutdowns
• Eliminate answers that are more properly covered under Title 46 CFR (shipping, vessel inspection, construction, and equipment) rather than Title 33
