(MANAGE FUEL, LUBRICATION AND BALLAST OPERATIONS) 1.
Prior to bunkering operations it is necessary to check the quantity of fuel remaining onboard and that there is sufficient room for the fuel that is to be loaded. What is the best method to use to establish this? A. Do a complete sounding of all fuel bunker tanks
2.
Telephones are being used to communicate between personnel onboard and ashore during a bunkering operation. What instruction would you give to ship personnel regarding action to take in the event of failure of the telephone communication during the operation? A. Stop the bunkering until alternative reliable communications are established
3.
To avoid overbunkering and oil spill, it is very important that we closely monitor the progress of the bunkering operation. What is the safest method to use to minimise the risk of overflow and spillage?
Teks Teks Teks
A. Continuously monitor remote guage readings and confirm with regular sounding of the fuel tanks. 4.
When bunkering through the port side of the bunker manifold what action should be taken with the valves on the starboard side of the manifold prior to bunkering operations commencing? A. Blank flanges should be fitted to the closed starboard side manifold valves.
5.
When planning bunkering operations it is preferable to arrange for the new fuel to be bunkered into empty or nearly empty tanks whenever possible. What is the main reason for this? A. To minimise the risk of incompatibility between different fuels.
6.
Why is it necessary to have an effective ballast water management plan which includes provision for changing out ballast in open water rather than discharging ballast in coastal waters? A. To avoid the introduction of non-indigenous species of marine life from one area to another.

7.
You are in charge of a night bunkering operation. The delivery rate from the supplier is high and you are filling six tanks simultaneously. You lose track of the progress of the operation and feel that you are losing control of the situation. What action should you take? A. Stop bunkering, and establish facts, before bunkering is resumed
8.
What are items 'W' ?
A. Cargo hold bilge wells

A. All of these.
24. What does the 'instantaneous rate of discharge of oil content "mean according to Marpol ? A. The rate of oil discharge in litres per hour at any instant divided by the speed of the ship in knots at the same instant 25. What is the best description of a "special area" as defined by Marpol ? A. A sea area where for recognised oceanographical and ecological conditions and in view of traffic special prevention is requir 26. What is the meaning of "slop tank" as defined by Marpol ? A. A tank specifically designed for the collection of tank drainings, washings or other oily mixtures
27. Which description given below is nearest to the description of clean ballast as defined by Marpol ? A. If discharged from a ship stationary in clean calm water on a clear day will not produce visible traces of oil on the water surface nor emulsion below
28. Which answer is nearest to the Marpol description of segregated ballast ? A. The ballast water introduced in a tank which is completely separated from cargo or fuel oil system and permanently allocated to ballast DPKP 29. According to Marpol, what is the meaning of the term "oil fuel" ? A. Any oil used on board in connection with the propulsion and auxiliary machinery 30. According to Marpol, what does the term "oil "mean ? A. Petroleum in any form including crude oil, fuel oil, sludge oil, oil refuse and refined products 31. For the purpose of determining the capacity of the clean ballast tanks in tankers, which tanks may be Included ? A. Segregated ballast tanks, fore and after peak tanks as well as cofferdams. 32. Under which conditions are Fore Peak tanks, After Peak tanks and cofferdams allowed to be included in the total capacity determination of Cars for tankers ? A. Provided they are to be connected with permanent piping to the ballast water systemDPKP 33. If a tanker with separate independent piping and pumps for CBT and operating with COW is to change its designation to product carrier and vice versa, which provisions will apply ? A. Two IOPP certificates are issued, only one valid at the time. No survey is required prior switching trades. Manual for both procedures required. 34. If an oil tanker is used for the storage of oil and its machinery modified to immobilise the ship, what are the requirements for SOT, COT, PL and COW ? A. The requirements for SBT, PL, CBT and COW do not apply
35. Hi an oil tanker is used to receive dirty ballast from oil tankers, what are the requirements for SBT, CBT, PL and COW ? A. The requirements for SBT, PL, CBT and COW do not apply
