Which of the following statements is true concerning oil transfer connections?
Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation
Correct Answer: Option D — All of the above.
33 CFR 156.130 dictates that all oil transfer connections must be secure. Permanently connected flanges require a bolt in every hole, while temporary ANSI flanges allow for a bolt in every other hole provided at least four are used. Approved quick-connect couplings are also permitted to ensure leak-free operations.
