The correct answer is B) Captain of the Port. The Captain of the Port has the authority to grant an alternate procedure for oil transfer operations under 33 CFR 156.107. This regulation allows the Captain of the Port to authorize alternate procedures for oil transfer operations, provided the alternate procedure provides an equivalent level of safety and environmental protection. The other options (A, C, and D) do not have the specific regulatory authority to grant such an alternate procedure.
