Each oil tanker involved in the cargo transfer operation should have on board a plan prescribing how to conduct STS transfer operations. A copy of the STS Plan should be available at the following locations on each oil tanker:
• The bridge;
• The cargo transfer control station; and
• The engine room.
An STS transfer operation should be under the advisory control of one individual (the person in overall advisory control, mentioned as POAC hereafter), who will be either one of the Masters concerned, or an STS Superintendent. The principles of "Bridge Team Management" should be observed.
