Question 2310 Deck General

The correct answer is D) Both persons in charge. The reason this is the correct answer is that according to the regulations governing the transfer of oil, the person in charge on the vessel and the person in charge at the facility must both agree to start the transfer. This is required to ensure the safety and proper coordination of the transfer operation between the two parties involved. Neither the vessel nor the facility can unilaterally decide to start the transfer without the mutual agreement and consent of the other. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the regulatory requirement for joint decision-making between the two responsible parties before commencing the oil transfer.
