Prior to any oil transfer, a transfer plan must be filled out and discussed between the delivering and receiving PICs. A facility must not begin a transfer until this plan has been discussed during the pretransfer conference described in WAC
173-180-235. The plan must, at a minimum, include:
(1) Identification, location and capacity of the vessel's tanks receiving oil;
(2) Level and type of liquid in all bunker or cargo oil tanks prior to the oil transfer;
(3) Final ullage or innage, and percent of each tank to be filled;
(4) Sequence in which the tanks are to be filled; and
(5) The facility or vessel's procedures to regularly monitor all receiving tank levels and valve alignments during the transfer operation.
