According to Pollution Prevention Regulations (33CFR), who is to sign the Oil Record Book after every designated operation?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) person(s) in charge of the operation.
According to 33 CFR 151.25, the Oil Record Book must be signed by the person(s) in charge of the relevant operation. The regulation states that "each entry in the Oil Record Book shall be signed by the person or persons in charge of the operation." This means that the person(s) directly responsible for the designated operation, such as loading, unloading, or transferring oil, are required to sign the Oil Record Book after each such operation.
The other options are incorrect because they do not align with the specific requirement in the regulations. Option A) would require an additional signature from a credentialed officer, which is not necessary. Option B) designates the signing responsibility to a credentialed officer, rather than the person(s) in charge. Option D) assigns the signing responsibility to the master, when the regulations clearly state it must be the person(s) in charge of the operation.
