70% to pass

When pumping fuel between an offshore supply vessel (OSV) and a MODU, there must be direct VHF radio contact between the offshore supply vessel engineer and the _______________.

A barge superintendent
B person in charge of the fuel transfer
C ballast control operator
D crane operator
AI Explanation

The correct answer is B) the person in charge of the fuel transfer. The requirement for direct VHF radio contact during fuel transfers between an offshore supply vessel (OSV) and a mobile offshore drilling unit (MODU) is specified in the US Coast Guard regulations. The person in charge of the fuel transfer, typically the engineer on the OSV, must maintain direct radio communication to ensure the safe and proper conduct of the transfer operation. This allows them to coordinate the process, monitor for any issues, and take immediate action if needed. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not align with the specific regulatory requirement for direct communication between the OSV engineer and the person in charge of the fuel transfer.
