Sec. 155.780  Emergency shutdown.

    (a) A tank vessel with a capacity of 250 or more barrels that is 
carrying oil or hazardous material as cargo must have on board an 
emergency means to enable the person in charge of a transfer operation 
to a facility, to another vessel, or within the vessel to stop the flow 
of oil or hazardous material.
    (b) The means to stop the flow may be a pump control, a quick-
acting, power actuated valve, or an operating procedure. If an emergency 
pump control is used, it must stop the flow of oil or hazardous material 
if the oil or hazardous material could siphon through the stopped pump.
    (c) The means to stop the flow must be operable from the cargo deck, 
cargo control room, or the usual operating station of the person in 
charge of the transfer operation.
