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
A. Continuously monitor remote guage readings and
Teks
confirm with regular sounding of the fuel tanks.

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.
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

allowed to be included in the total capacity determination of Cars for tankers ?
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 ?
