Question 106Safety & Environmental - QMED

The correct answer is A) person in charge. During the topping off of bunker tanks, the loading rate must be personally supervised by the person in charge, which is typically the master or a designated representative. This requirement is specified in regulations governing the handling of hazardous materials and cargo operations on vessels. The other options are incorrect because the master (B) is not solely responsible for this task, the chief engineer (C) does not typically oversee cargo operations, and the terminal operator (D) is not responsible for the vessel's cargo handling procedures.
