Question 2626 Deck General

The correct answer is C) Captain of the Port. According to the Coast Guard regulations, any application for a waiver of the requirements for oil transfer operations must be submitted to the Captain of the Port. The Captain of the Port is the local Coast Guard officer responsible for the enforcement of regulations and safety in a specific geographic area, including overseeing oil transfer operations. The other options are incorrect because the Commandant and District Commander are higher-level Coast Guard officials, while the nearest Coast Guard office may not have the authority to grant such waivers.
