BConnecting a bonding wire between the shore side piping and the vessel.
CPlacing an insulating flange or a section of non-conducting hose in the hose setup.
DAll of the above.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) All of the above. All three methods help reduce the possibility of producing an electrical spark during cargo transfer operations. Using a cargo hose with a built-in bonding wire, connecting a bonding wire between the shore side piping and the vessel, and placing an insulating flange or non-conducting hose section in the setup all help establish a continuous electrical bond. This prevents the buildup of static electricity, which can lead to dangerous sparks that could ignite flammable vapors. Following these practices is crucial to maintain a safe cargo transfer operation and comply with U.S. Coast Guard regulations.
