Under 33 CFR §155.720, which vessels are required to have written transfer procedures covering both transfers to or from the vessel and tank-to-tank transfers within the vessel?
- A. Any vessel carrying oil in bulk regardless of quantity
- B. Vessels with a capacity of 100 or more barrels of oil or hazardous material
- ✓ Vessels with a capacity of 250 or more barrels of oil, hazardous material, or liquefied gas as regulated in Table 4 of 46 CFR part 154Correct
- D. Vessels with a capacity of 500 or more barrels of oil or hazardous material
Why C is correct
33 CFR §155.720 specifies the threshold as 250 or more barrels of oil, hazardous material, or liquefied gas as regulated in Table 4 of 46 CFR part 154. Both the 100-barrel and 500-barrel thresholds are plausible distractors but are not stated in the regulation.
