How long must the operator of each vessel engaged in a vessel-to-vessel oil transfer operation keep a signed copy of the declaration of inspection for?

A 10 days
B 1 month
C 6 months
D 1 year
AI Explanation

The correct answer is B) 1 month. The regulations regarding the declaration of inspection for vessel-to-vessel oil transfer operations are specified in 33 CFR 156.150. This regulation states that the operator of each vessel must keep a signed copy of the declaration of inspection for at least 1 month after the transfer operation is completed. The other answer choices are incorrect because 10 days (A) is too short, 6 months (C) and 1 year (D) are longer durations than the 1-month requirement specified in the regulations.
