Q

Inert Gas System (IGS):

A

Purpose: To prevent fire/explosion by reducing oxygen.

Number to remember: Oxygen must be below 8% for the tank to be “Inerted.”

Q

The Fire Triangle:

A

To have a fire, you need Fuel, Heat, and Oxygen.

Tankers add a 4th element: Chemical Chain Reaction. Removing any one of these stops the fire.

Q

What is your biggest weakness

A

“Sometimes I am too focused on the details, but on a tanker, I’ve learned that being detail-oriented prevents spills and accidents.”

"What do you do if you see a spill?"
"Immediately raise the alarm, stop all cargo operations, and follow the SOPEP (Shipboard Oil Pollution Emergency Plan)."
26
RULE 6
SAFE SPEED Every vessel shall at all times proceed at a safe speed that she can take proper and effective action to avoid collision and be stopped within a distance appropriate to the prevailing circumstances and conditions.
27
RULE 7
RISK OF COLLISION Vessels must use all available means to determine the risk of a collision, including the use of radar (if available) to get early warning of the risk of collision by radar plotting or equivalent systematic observation of detected objects. (e.g. ARPA, AIS).
28
RULE 8
ACTION TO AVOID COLLISION Any action taken to avoid collision shall be taken in accordance with the Rules of this Part and shall, if the circumstances of the case admit, be positive, made in ample time and with due regard to the observance of good seamanship.
29
RULE 9
NARROW CHANNEL A vessel proceeding along the course of a narrow channel or fairway shall keep as near to the outer limit of the channel or fairway which lies on her starboard side as is safe and practicable
30
RULE 10
TSS Ships must cross traffic lanes steering a course "as nearly as practicable" at right angles to the direction of traffic. This reduces confusion and enables that vessel to cross the lane as quickly as possible.
31
RULE 13
OVERTAKING An overtaking vessel must keep out of the way of the vessel being overtaken. "Overtaking" means approaching another vessel at more than 22.5 degrees abaft her beam, i.e., so that at night, the overtaking vessel would see only the stern light and neither of the sidelights of the vessel being overtaken.
32
Rule 14
Head on situation When two power-driven vessels are meeting on reciprocal or nearly reciprocal courses so as to involve risk of collision each shall alter her course to starboard so that each shall pass on the port side of the other
33
Rule 15
Crossing situation When two power-driven vessels are crossing so as to involve risk of collision, the vessel which has the other on her own starboard side shall keep out of the way and shall, if the circumstances of the case admit, avoid crossing ahead of the other vessel.
