Belectrically
Cvia a communications device used for no other purpose
Dall of the above.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) all of the above. The means of control for stopping the flow of oil during a loading operation must be able to be activated pneumatically, mechanically, or electrically, including via a dedicated communications device. This requirement is specified in the regulations for vessel oil transfer operations under 33 CFR 156.120(i). The ability to immediately stop the flow of oil through multiple methods helps ensure safe and reliable shutdown in the event of an emergency, such as a hose rupture or tank overflow. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not fully encompass the regulatory requirements for the means of control.
