Question 2234 Deck General

The correct answer is A) person(s) in charge. The person(s) in charge of the oil transfer operation must sign the Declaration of Inspection, as they are responsible for ensuring the operation is conducted safely and in compliance with regulations. The Declaration of Inspection is a required document that confirms the vessel and facility are prepared for the transfer, with the person(s) in charge attesting to the readiness of the equipment and adherence to proper procedures. The Master of the vessel, Captain of the Port, or all parties involved are not required to sign the Declaration of Inspection, as the primary responsibility lies with the person(s) directly overseeing the oil transfer operation.
