🔍 Key Concepts

• Hot-work (welding, cutting, etc.) on tank barges that carry dangerous cargoes • Responsibilities of the facility operator vs. the vessel operator when at a marine transfer facility • Notification and permission requirements involving the Captain of the Port (COTP) for hazardous operations

💭 Think About

• Think about who has the legal responsibility to control and monitor hazardous operations like hot-work at a regulated transfer facility: the marine surveyor, the barge operator, or the facility operator? • Ask yourself whether being "empty" of cargo really removes all fire and explosion hazards from a barge that carried dangerous cargo. • Consider what special notifications or permissions are usually required before starting hot-work in an area where dangerous cargo has just been handled.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify what the regulations say about facility operator duties regarding hot-work and hazardous operations at a cargo facility. • Check whether there is any rule that says hot-work is completely prohibited at such facilities, or whether it can be allowed under certain conditions. • Confirm who, according to regulations, must notify the Captain of the Port (COTP) when hot-work is to be conducted at a waterfront facility that handles dangerous cargo.
