Question 2618Deck General70% to pass
You may not act as person-in-charge of oil transfer operations on more than one vessel at a time _______________.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) unless authorized by the Captain of the Port.
This is the correct answer because the US Coast Guard regulations prohibit a person-in-charge from overseeing oil transfer operations on more than one vessel at a time, unless they have received explicit authorization from the Captain of the Port. This restriction is in place to ensure proper oversight and safety during critical oil transfer operations. The other answer choices, such as requiring radio communication or being moored clear of docks, are not sufficient to override this regulatory requirement for Captain of the Port authorization.
