Question 1124Deck General70% to pass
A tug should not come alongside a tank vessel in way of its cargo tanks while it is loading grade A, B, or C cargo without the permission of the _______________.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) the person in charge of the transfer.
The reasoning for this is that the regulations in 33 CFR 156.120(s) state that a tug should not come alongside a tank vessel in way of its cargo tanks while it is loading grade A, B, or C cargo without the permission of the person in charge of the transfer. This person is responsible for overseeing the cargo transfer operations and ensuring safety protocols are followed.
The other options are incorrect because the superintendent of the shoreside facility (A) and the local fire department (D) would not have direct authority over the cargo transfer operations on the vessel. The cognizant OCMI (B) is the Coast Guard Officer in Charge of Marine Inspection, who has broader regulatory oversight but would not be directly involved in granting permission for this specific operation.
