A the instruction manual provided by the manufacturer of the containment system

B the port engineer

C either the master or chief engineer probably knows this information

D the knowledgeable shoreside loading terminal personnel

AI Explanation

The correct answer is A) the instruction manual provided by the manufacturer of the containment system. The cool-down parameters and rates for an LNG vessel's containment system are obtained from the manufacturer's instructions. This is because the manufacturer is the expert on the design, construction, and operation of the specific containment system installed on the vessel. They will have detailed technical information on the proper procedures and requirements for safely cooling down the system prior to loading cargo. The other options are not the authoritative source for this information.
