The overall responsibility in maintaining the Oil Record Book is given to _______________.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) master.
The overall responsibility in maintaining the Oil Record Book lies with the master (captain) of the vessel. This is in accordance with the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships (MARPOL), which requires the master to ensure that the Oil Record Book is properly completed, signed, and maintained on board the ship. The master is responsible for overseeing all operations related to the prevention of oil pollution, including the accurate recording of oil transfers and disposal.
The other options (B. cargo engineer, C. chief engineer, D. chief mate) are incorrect because they do not have the overall responsibility for the Oil Record Book. While these crew members may have specific duties related to oil transfers and record-keeping, the master is ultimately accountable for the proper maintenance and management of the Oil Record Book.
