bara (ballast) (Manage fuel,lubricationand ballastoperations)
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
B. Use the latest figures from the fuel record book.
C. Take a full set of readings from remote content gauges.
D. Sound the tanks which you think might still contain some fuel.

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

while the bunkering operation continues.

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?
A. Continuously monitor remote guage readings and confirm
with regular sounding of the fuel tanks.
B. The remote gauge system will provide us with the
necessary information

be taken with the valves on the starboard side of the manifold prior to bunkering
operations commencing?

starboard side manifold valves to check for any
leakage past the closed valves.

fueltaken onboard.

during long voyages.
C. To allow ballast tank inspections to be carried out
during ballast passage.
D. To ensure that ballast tanks are always pressed up
during a ballast voyage to avoid free surface effects.
