Who must supervise functions aboard a tanker or tank barge such as connecting, disconnecting, and topping off?

🔍 Key Concepts

• 46 CFR requirements for transfer of oil or hazardous materials on tank vessels • The definition and role of the "person in charge" during cargo transfer operations • Differences in responsibility between master, officer of the watch, and certificated tankerman

💭 Think About

• Which specific role is named in the regulations as being directly responsible for supervising cargo transfer operations like connecting, disconnecting, and topping off? • Does a job title like "master" or "officer of the watch" automatically mean that person is the one assigned to supervise transfers, or is there a formally designated role for this? • Can any certificated tankerman supervise these functions, or must someone be officially designated in writing for that duty?

✅ Before You Answer

• Look up who the regulations call the legally designated supervisor of transfer operations on tankers and tank barges • Verify which term among the choices appears exactly in 46 CFR for cargo transfer supervision • Confirm whether the role is based on formal designation for a specific duty, not just the person’s general license or position on board
