Who completes the Declaration of Inspection before loading a tank vessel?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Declaration of Inspection (DOI) requirements for tank vessel transfers in 33 CFR and 46 CFR • Who the Person in Charge (PIC) is during cargo transfer operations • Responsibilities of shoreside facility personnel vs. vessel personnel during loading

💭 Think About

• Think about who is legally responsible for directly supervising the transfer operation at the time of loading, not who owns or regulates the operation. • Consider which role must be physically present, trained, and certified to conduct and oversee the transfer. • Ask yourself: is this form completed by a regulator, a classification society, facility management, or by the trained individual in operational control of the transfer?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify in 33 CFR Part 156 (Oil and Hazardous Material Transfer Operations) who must be the "person in charge" of transfers and who signs the DOI. • Confirm that a DOI is an operational safety and compliance document, not an inspection report from a regulatory agency or classification society. • Check whether the regulations say the DOI is completed by an organization (like the USCG or ABS) or by an individual designated to be in charge of the transfer.
