The correct answer is D) All of the above. According to Coast Guard regulations, the Oil Record Book on a tanker must record the following operations on a tank-to-tank basis: 1) The discharge overboard in port or at sea of any bilge water accumulated in machinery spaces. 2) The loading or unloading of any or all oil cargo. 3) Any internal transfer of oil cargo during a voyage. All of these operations involve the handling and movement of oil on a tanker, so they must be recorded in the Oil Record Book as per the applicable Coast Guard regulations.
