When a tank vessel with a capacity of 250 barrels is transferring oil to a facility, U.S. regulations require an emergency means to stopping the flow of oil. Where must these emergency means be operable from?

A the engine room, cargo control room and bridge sequentially

B two or more locations on the tank vessel

C the usual operating station of the person in charge of the oil transfer

D a remote location of equal distance from the tank vessel and facility

AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) the usual operating station of the person in charge of the oil transfer. The reasoning is that under U.S. regulations, tank vessels transferring oil must have an emergency means to stop the flow of oil that is operable from the usual operating station of the person in charge of the oil transfer. This allows the person responsible for overseeing the transfer to quickly and easily activate the emergency stop in the event of an issue. The other options are incorrect because they do not align with the specific regulatory requirement. Option A is too broad, option B does not specify the required location, and option D is not the designated location per the regulations.
