Question 2278Deck General70% to pass
The equipment required to remove an on-deck oil spill on a barge transferring oil must either be carried on board or _______________.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) available by contract with the shore facility.
The reasoning for this is that the regulations require oil transfer equipment to be either carried on board the barge or available through a pre-arranged contract with the shore facility. This ensures that the necessary equipment is readily accessible to respond to any potential oil spills during the transfer operation. The other options (B, C, and D) do not fully meet the regulatory requirements, as they do not specify the equipment being available through a contractual agreement.
