Question 2313Deck General70% to pass
Who completes the Declaration of Inspection before loading a tank vessel?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) The person(s) designated in charge.
According to Coast Guard regulations, the Declaration of Inspection (DOI) for a tank vessel must be completed by the person(s) designated in charge of the vessel and the person in charge of the transfer operation. This ensures that both parties have verified the readiness of the vessel and shore facility to safely conduct the transfer of cargo. The other options are incorrect because the American Bureau of Shipping, the U.S. Coast Guard, and the manager of the shore facility are not the parties directly responsible for completing the DOI under the regulations.
