During fueling operations oil is detected in the water adjacent to your vessel. If however, it is determined to be from some source other than your vessel, you should _______________.

Asecure operations until the exact type of oil is determined
Bmake an entry in the oil record book to that effect
Cnotify the Coast Guard
Dall of the above
AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) notify the Coast Guard. According to Coast Guard regulations, if oil is detected in the water adjacent to your vessel during fueling operations, but it is determined to be from a source other than your vessel, you are required to notify the Coast Guard. This is because the presence of oil in the water must be reported, regardless of the source, to ensure proper environmental protection and compliance with pollution prevention laws. The other options, while potentially reasonable actions, are not the correct response according to the Coast Guard regulations. Securing operations (A) or making an entry in the oil record book (B) may be appropriate, but notifying the Coast Guard is the primary requirement in this scenario.
