Scenario:
Offshore on deck receiving fuel. One Pilot in aircraft watching the gauge the other outside monitoring deck operations. Rig refueling crew told to top off both tanks. Refueling crew consists of one person operating the fuel line, one at the pump and others at fire stations. Refueling crew does not realize tank is nearing capacity and overfills causing a small spill.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Who is responsible for the spill? Pilot or Refueling Crew?
What could be done to prevent such occurrences.
What about if spill is caused due to aircraft squatting while being hot refueled?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There are a number of participants on this forum from different operating areas and information on your SOP's (what does it say or what it should say), best practices, etc. would be appreciated.

Please no bashing of any particular segment.
