🔍 Key Concepts

• Oil pollution regulations in U.S. waters (33 CFR Parts 151 & 155) and the requirement to prevent discharges that cause a visible sheen • Emergency/abnormal condition procedures during fuel transfer operations • Hierarchy of responses: stop the source, then contain/clean, then report

💭 Think About

• When pollution (such as a sheen) is observed during fuel transfer, what is the most effective way to prevent additional oil from entering the water? • Which option directly addresses the immediate hazard, and which options only lessen it or attempt a temporary fix? • In maritime safety and pollution prevention, what usually comes FIRST: reducing the problem, stopping it entirely, or trying to fix equipment while it’s still operating?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which choice actually stops the flow of oil into the water right away • Eliminate any option that continues transfer with a known leak • Consider which action would align with a vessel’s oil transfer / SOPEP or spill response procedures as the initial step
