🔍 Key Concepts

• Person-in-charge (PIC) responsibilities during fueling/bunkering • 46 CFR requirements for direct supervision of critical stages of fuel transfer • The difference between administrative tasks and high‑risk fuel transfer actions

💭 Think About

• During fueling, at what point is the risk of overflow or spill the highest, and who must be watching at that moment? • Which choice describes something that, if done wrong or left unattended, could immediately lead to pollution or a fire hazard? • Which options look like paperwork or quality-control steps rather than actual high‑risk transfer operations?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which option involves actual fuel flow control at a critical moment. • Eliminate options that deal mainly with posting documents or routine sampling instead of hands‑on transfer control. • Remember that discharging oil overboard is heavily restricted by law and is not a normal, supervised step in taking on fuel.
