70% to pass

U.S. regulations require which of the following upon completion of oil transfer operations?

A all persons on duty during oil transfer shall be accounted for
B all soundings shall be entered in the oil record book
C all hoses shall be blown down with air
D all valves used during transfer shall be closed
AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) all valves used during transfer shall be closed. U.S. regulations require that upon completion of oil transfer operations, all valves used during the transfer must be closed. This ensures that no further oil can inadvertently be discharged from the system. The other answer choices are not specifically required by U.S. regulations - while accounting for personnel, recording soundings, and blowing down hoses may be good safety practices, they are not mandatory requirements upon completion of the transfer.
