70% to pass

How long shall the operator of a vessel employed in the transferring of oil to other vessels keep the Declaration of Inspection of those transfers?

A 1 week from date of signature
B 2 weeks from date of signature
C 1 month from date of signature
D 6 months from date of signature
AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) 1 month from date of signature. The regulations in 33 CFR 156.120(i) state that the operator of a vessel engaged in oil transfer operations must keep the Declaration of Inspection for at least 1 month from the date of signature. This ensures that the documentation of the transfer process is maintained for a reasonable period in case it needs to be reviewed or referenced later. The other options are incorrect because 1 week (A) is too short a time to keep the records, and 2 weeks (B) and 6 months (D) do not align with the 1 month requirement specified in the regulations.
