According to this module, in case of excessive sludge, if fuels have been mixed, how should the fuel oil separators be operated? Select the ONE correct answer.
In parallel, if possible, and at the highest possible flow rate.
In parallel, if possible, and at the lowest possible flow rate.
In series, if possible, and at the highest possible flow rate.
In series, if possible, and at the lowest possible flow rate.
According to this module, what should a bunker sample be collected in? Select the ONE correct answer.
A disposable 10-litre or 5-litre cubitainer that is screwed onto the sampler and threaded with a seal.
A clean, re-usable glass storage jar with a seal.
A measuring jug for the easy distribution of the samples into other sealed plastic bottles.
Four small plastic bottles with labels affixed to them.
According to this module, why is it not recommended to blend fuels on board? Select the ONE best answer.
Because it is easier to get them blended ashore.
Because it makes it difficult to calculate an accurate density.
Because it can result in an unstable blend that causes operational problems, such as large amounts of sludge.
Because they tend to separate very quickly if blended this way.
During bunkering, why should you check the temperature of the bunkers? Select the ONE best answer.
Because temperature affects density, which is used in the calculation of volume of bunkers delivered.
Because temperature affects the pumping rate.
To check that the bunker oil remains below its closed flashpoint.
Because temperature affects density, which is used in the calculation of mass (weight) of bunkers delivered.
How should a bunker sample be taken? Select the ONE correct answer.
A series of samples should be taken throughout the bunkering operation.
By a continuous drip-method throughout the duration of the bunkering.
One sample should be taken at intervals not exceeding 15 minutes.
The supplier should take and provide samples.
How should you fill the sample bottles from the cubitainer? Select the ONE correct answer.
All sample bottles should be filled 1/3 at a time, making several passes to fill up the bottles equally, capping and re-shaking the cubitainer before each filling.
Each sample bottle in turn should be completely filled, capping and re-shaking the cubitainer before each filling.
Each sample bottle in turn should be completely filled, with no break between them.
The contents of the cubitainer should be allowed to settle before each filling.
Sampling equipment should be fitted at the point where custody of the bunkers changes. Where is this? Select the ONE correct answer.
The ship’s bunker manifold.
At the filling point for the bunker barge or terminal storage facility.
The bunker barge or shore terminal manifold.
The ship’s storage tanks.
What drip rate should be used during bunker sampling? Select the ONE best answer.
The drip rate should be enough to give sufficient volume of fuel sample in the cubitainer by the end of the bunkering.
The drip rate should be enough to completely fill the cubitainer by the end of the bunkering.
The drip rate should be enough to completely fill the cubitainer well before the end of the bunkering.
The drip rate should be enough to give sufficient volume of fuel sample in the cubitainer well before the end of the bunkering.
What is the main reason that the Sulphur content of fuel must be known? Select the ONE best answer.
To ensure compliance with SOLAS regulations.
To ensure compliance with MARPOL and ECA regulations.
To ensure the ignition qualities of the fuel.
To limit engine wear.
What should be done with the MARPOL bunker sample? Select the ONE correct answer.
It should stay under the ship’s control until the fuel oil is used up, and it should be kept for at least 12 months from the time of delivery.
It should be handed to an IMO representative.
It should be sent to an approved laboratory for testing.
It should be sent to head office and kept for 3 years.
What should you do if the supplier refuses the bunker sample taken by the ship? Select the ONE correct answer.
Record it in the ship’s log with full details of the responsible person, the barge, the supplier’s name, the time, date, and seal number of the sample.
Ask the supplier to provide a sample as a cross reference.
Note this fact in the ship’s log and offer to provide another sample from the bunker tanks.
Nothing, this is the responsibility of the supplier.
When should you sign the Bunker Delivery Note? Select the ONE correct answer.
Before starting the bunkering process.
Once a commercial agreement to buy the bunkers has been completed.
Once the bunker barge is alongside.
At the completion of bunkering.
Which of the following could be a result of poor bunker management? Select all the answers you think are correct.
A big loss of money.
Damage to the main engine.
Failure to comply with rules for Sulphur emissions.
Failure to comply with rules for the minimum flash point of main fuel oils.
Why must the Sulphur content of fuel oils be known? Select the ONE best answer.
Because there is a maximum limit on the Sulphur content of all marine fuel oils and tighter limits in ECAs and elsewhere.
Because it affects the calorific value of the fuel.
Because it affects the price of the fuel.
Because there is a maximum limit on the Sulphur content of marine fuel oils in ECA’s and in accordance with local regulations.
Why must the density of the bunker fuel be accurately known? Select the ONE correct answer.
To calculate the minimum storage temperature at which it can still be pumped.
To work out the quantity of bunkers received, since mass is volume multiplied by density.
To calculate the temperature needed to atomise and burn it.
To work out the quantity of bunkers received, since mass is volume divided by density.
Why should the bunker line pressure be checked continuously during bunkering? Select the ONE best answer.
Because it can vary when the barge switches tanks or if the fuel is not homogeneous and needs to be checked to ensure it stays below a safe maximum value.
Because it should be kept absolutely constant at a level agreed between the ship and barge representatives.
To check that the fuel is not being mixed with any other fluid or air, which would explain any fluctuation of pressure.
To check when bunkering is complete, so that the hose can be disconnected as soon as possible and not delay sailing.
