Question 1473 Deck General

The correct answer is A) the vessel's cargo tanks. As the Person in Charge, the final oil product samples should be taken from the vessel's cargo tanks because this is where the product is being loaded and stored. Regulations require samples to be taken at the start and end of loading operations to ensure product quality and quantity. Taking the final samples from the cargo tanks, rather than from the dock riser, shore tank discharge, or shore line low points, provides the most direct and accurate representation of the final product being loaded onto the vessel. The other options are incorrect because they do not represent the final loaded product in the vessel's cargo tanks.
