To serve as a person in charge of transfer operations on board a self-propelled tank vessel, an individual must hold/be which of the following?

A a valid officer credential for inspected vessels
B be 30 years old
C a letter from the company stating his qualification
D a tankerman-PIC endorsement
AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) a tankerman-PIC endorsement. To serve as the person in charge of transfer operations on a self-propelled tank vessel, an individual must hold a tankerman-PIC (person in charge) endorsement. This endorsement is required by regulations to ensure the individual has the necessary training, knowledge, and qualifications to safely oversee the loading, unloading, and transfer of cargo on a tank vessel. The other options, such as holding an officer credential or being a certain age, are not sufficient to serve in this role - the tankerman-PIC endorsement is the specific credential required.
