23 Is it necessary to construct a passage plan, (or voyage plan), for transiting a canal or
river, when under pilot?
23 A passage plan is always required, irrespective of the length of the voyage,
or if the ship is under pilot
24 A passage plan is required for all deep sea passages, but not for transiting a

23 A large vessel develops a sudden sheer when it stops moving through the water,
having been steaming through a shallow water channel for several miles. The sheer
may be strong and unexpected and is due to what reason?
23 The large volume of water dragged
behind the vessel continues to move
forward and cause a strong turning
moment on the stern of the vessel
24 The hydrodynamic interaction
effects from the banks of the
shallow water channel acts on the
stern causing the vessel to sheer
strongly
25 The vessel stopping shifts the pivot point forward and creates a turning
moment and results in the ship swinging towards the bank.
26 The shallow water reduces the effectiveness of the rudder and when the
vessel stops any applied rudder will become suddenly more effective.

0 In the situation illustrated, a ship is proceeding in the centre of the channel and
approaching a bend in a river. What helm would probably be required to safely
round the bend and what other effects could be expected in this situation?
23 The heading should be carefully
monitored, some port rudder may be
required to start the swing, though
starboard rudder may be required to
balance any bank rejection.
24 The wheel should be put hard over to
port to keep the ship in the middle of the
channel and the heading carefully
monitore
25 A small amount of port helm would be required to get round the corner and
the engines should be slowed down to give more time to the manoeuvre.
The heading should be continually monitored
26 The ship will round the corner without any helm being required, due to
interaction and rejection by the river bank

23 Much greater power on the forward
tug than on the after tug while
monitoring the gyro heading
24 Much greater power on the aft tug
than on the forward tug while
monitoring the gyro heading.

made fast (figure 2)
Tug made fast forward on either shoulder,
ready to push (figure 3)
The tug made fast on a line through the centre lead forward (figure 1)
112
DPKP
Why does a ship move laterally (sideward drift) when turning.

Because the pivot point is not at the centre of
the ship
Because the turning moment is created by the
rudder, which is positioned at the stern of
the vessel
The ship moves laterally because it always tries
to continue in a straight line.
The ship moves sidewards because of all the external forces on the vessels hull.
Would the indicated speed, as shown on a Ground Tracking Doppler Log, be suitable for
berthing the vessel?
The approach speed is too fast.
The approach speed is essential to maintain
steerage when coming alongside
The speed requirements are decided by the
pilot and should not be the concern of the
OOW.
The indicated speed would be a normal speed approaching a berth.
Your ship is approaching the berth as illustrated and has a right handed propeller and no
thrusters. What could be a method to retain full control of the vessel as it comes
alongside?
Let go starboard anchor to about 1
shackle on deck
Reduce speed by going astern on the
engines.
Let go port anchor to about 1 shackles
on deck
Full starboard rudder and stop engines

(Manoeuvre and handle a ship in all conditions)
A large vessel develops a sudden sheer when it stops moving through the water, having
been steaming through a shallow water channel for several miles. The sheer may be
strong and unexpected and is due to what reason?
The large volume of water dragged
behind the vessel continues to move
forward and cause a strong turning
moment on the stern of the vessel
The hydrodynamic interaction
effects from the banks of the
shallow water channel acts on the
stern causing the vessel to sheer
strongly
The vessel stopping shifts the pivot point forward and creates a turning
moment and results in the ship swinging towards the bank.
The shallow water reduces the effectiveness of the rudder and when the
vessel stops any applied rudder will become suddenly more effective.
A large vessel is coming alongside a pier with two tugs assisting and there is little wind
or current affecting the vessel. What would be considered the best use of the tugs
and at which position?
Pushing on the ship's side and made fast

the berth requires reducing by the tug
pulling off.
Made fast Forward and Aft using the
centre leads.
Pushing on ship's side, but not made

A ship experiences an interaction effect known as "Squat" when moving in shallow

water. The amount of Squat is affected by the speed of the vessel through the water.
If the speed through the water is HALVED what will be the change in the affect of
"Squat"
The squat effect will be reduced to a quarter
of its original value
The squat effect will also be halve
There will be a significant change in the
reduction of underkeel clearance, but the
amount varies from ship to ship

the size (diameter) of the turning circle?
No, the diameter of the turning circle
would be almost the same. Yes, it
would be a much smaller turning
circle at half ahead

A tug is connected by a line to the bow of a ship. Will the bollard pull exerted by the tug
be the same at any speed?
No, when the ship's speed exceeds about 5
knots it will be expected that there will be a
reduced pull exerted by the tug
No, when the speed of the ship is
increasing, the bollard pull exerted by the
tug will also be increasing
Yes, the bollard pull would normally be expected to be the same at any
speed of the ship

In the situation illustrated, a ship is proceeding in the centre of the channel and
approaching a bend in a river. What helm would probably be required to safely
round the bend and what other effects could be expected in this situation?
The heading should be carefully
monitored, some port rudder may be
required to start the swing, though
starboard rudder may be required to
balance any bank rejection.
The wheel should be put hard over to
port to keep the ship in the middle of the
channel and the heading carefully
monitore
A small amount of port helm would be required to get round the corner and
the engines should be slowed down to give more time to the manoeuvre.
The heading should be continually monitored
The ship will round the corner without any helm being required, due to
interaction and rejection by the river bank
In the situation illustrated, what should be the distribution of the power requirements
from the tugs, if the ship is to be moved sideways without changing the heading?
Both tugs have similar bollard pull and are of conventional propulsion.
Much greater power on the forward
tug than on the after tug while
monitoring the gyro heading Much
greater power on the aft tug than on
the forward tug while monitoring
the gyro heading.
Equal power required by both tugs,
but monitor the gyro heading to
ensure sideward movement only
It would be very difficult to predict the power requirements in this
circumstance and it could only be found by observation.

When cleaning a cargo tank after carriage and discharge of Sulphuric Acid, it is
important to ensure that:
Once cleaning commences, large quantities of washing water can be
delivered as quickly as possible, so that the acid is quickly diluted.
Once cleaning commences, washing water must be introduced in a
controlled manner, allowing time for the acid and water to mix slowly and
thoroughly before the rest of the tank surfaces are flushed.
A mixture of hot fresh water and Sodium Hydroxide solution (50/50) is
prepared beforehand and then circulated around the tank, rapidly
neutralising any remaining acid.
Any acid remaining in the sump should first be ejected and the tank
ventilated for a minimum of 30 minutes before the introduction of any
water, ensuring that there are insufficient acid residues to create any
dangerous reaction.

The recommended guideline for avoiding the risk of electrostatic potential in a mist
produced by using oil and water during Crude Oil Washing operations is that:
Before washing begins, any tank
that is to be used as a source of oil
for Crude Oil Washing should be
partly discharged to remove any
water that has settled out during the
voyage. The discharge of a layer of
at least 1 metreis necessary for this
purpose.
As washing begins, any water observed in the stream should be diverted to a
slop tank, before Crude Oil Washing af any cargo compartment is
commenced.
If a slop tank is to be used to supply oil to drive a Crude Oil Washing
operation in a cargo tank, then that slop tank must not have contained slops
with a water content of more than 2%.
Crude Oil Washing, where the oil source is stored in a slop tank or other
tank that has previously contained slops, should be avoided.

A reefer vessel is loading a cargo of fruit alongside in a South African port. During
loading another vessel arrives at an adjacent berth to have its cargo discharged after
having been towed in following a fire onboard which had resulted in abandonment.
What should concern the Master of the reefer vessel most about the situation?
That the cargo may be contaminated by the smell of smoke and the products
of combustion from the damaged vessel.
The damaged vessel is unmanned and may not be cared for properly.
The cargo being discharged from the damaged vessel may be in poor
condition and may contaminate the loading vessel's cargo.
The speed of cargo operations may be hindered due to the discharge of
cargo from the damaged vessel.
A reefer vessel is to load a cargo of plantains and bananas. Due to space restrictions both
have to be loaded into a common space. The usual delivery temperature for bananas
is about 13 degrees Celsius and for plantains it is 7 degree Celsius. What would be
the best delivery temperature for the mixture of these two fruits?
13 C as plantains are less sensitive to the consequences of a higher delivery
temperature.
7 C as plantains are more sensitive to the higher delivery temperature of the
bananas.
10 C as this is the mean temperature of the two cargoes and they would both
carry satisfactorily at this temperature.
Adjust the set point of the delivery temperature to 7 C for 12 hour periods
and 13 C for the intervening 12 hour periods.

A reefer vessel is to load a part cargo of frozen beef hocks (large joints of beef, usually
quarters, not packed in cartons). In deciding which would be the most appropriate
space on a conventional reefer vessel, which of the given options would be the
preferred choice?
1C deck as this is the narrowest space on the vessel and will best constrain
the cargo from any possible movement during the voyage.
4A deck as this is the largest square space on the vessel and will allow good
access and air flow for the cargo.
Any space will be acceptable as this is a hard frozen cargo and relatively
easy to handle and carry.
A cargo space low in the vessel as this cargo has a relatively high stowage
factor.
A reefer vessel, which is about to carry a palletised cargo, has to have available sufficient
cargo equipment including air bags (dunnage bags), air lines and valves, cargo
slings, wooden dunnage, nails, etc. These items are required to ensure a quick
loading operation and a successful passage. Complete the following statement from
the options given. "Air bags are particularly important in that ….
they reduce the movement of the pallets and prevent short circuiting of the
air flow."
they are quick and easy to deploy."
they protect the pillars and the vent trunking against damage during heavy
weather."
they secure the pallets against movement during the passage."
A situation arises where there is insufficient fruit cargo available to fill a cargo space.
There is a cooler arrangement (cooler/evaporator/brine nest/fans) positioned at one
end of the cargo space. Select, from the options given, the best method for stowage
of the fruit.
Start at the end with the cooler arrangement and work away from the cooler.
Start at the opposite end to the cooler arrangement and work towards the
cooler.
Start from one side of the space.
Start from the centre of the space and work towards both ends.

A situation exists where a cargo of palletised fruit is being loaded to capacity on a

conventional reefer vessel. In order to load all of the available cargo it is proposed
to break down some of the pallets and place the loose cartons on top of the pallets;
there is just enough space to accommodate this below the deckhead. From the
options given which is the most suitable action to take?
Reject the plan as the reduced gap at the top of the stow will restrict the
return air flow.
Accept the plan in order to carry all of the cargo.
Reject the plan as the extra handling will incur greater stevedoring costs.
Reject the plan as the charter is to carry only palletised cargo.
A standard convention for a 4 deck reefer vessel is to designate the decks A to D from
upper to lower deck. Decks A and B common as are C and D with a gas tight seal
between B and C. Apples are to be carried in decks C and D with bananas in A and
B. Which of the options is the best to avoid the risk of crossover of temperature and
respiration between the two cargoes?
Create a pressure differential with a higher pressure in decks C and D.
Create a pressure differential with a higher pressure in decks A and B.
Run the cargo fans intermittently in one of the spaces.
Operate the two spaces at equal pressures as the cargoes are compatible.
After discharge of any refrigerated cargo a thorough inspection of the vessel should be
carried out before presenting the vessel for loading the next cargo. Amongst the
reasons for this is to ensure that any traces of or residues from the previous cargo
are removed. This is particularly so if a fruit or meat cargo is to be loaded after a
fish cargo has been carried. Select, from the options given, the main reason for this
requirement.
Fish is strong smelling and the odour may contaminate the next cargo.
Fish is usually carried frozen and there may be some damage to the
insulation.
Fish can be oily and may leave an oily residue in the cargo space.
Ventilating with fresh air may only remove the odour temporarily and it will
build up again if residues are present.

Apart from temperature there are few differences between carrying cargoes of chilled
meat, minus 1 degree Celsius, and frozen meat, minus 18 degrees Celsius. A key
difference is that for frozen meat the cooling fans are operated at half speed or some
are switched off whereas for chilled meat the fans are run constantly at full speed.
Select, from the options given, the main reason for this difference in fan operation.
The chilled meat is more sensitive to damage and therefore tighter
temperature control is necessary.
The fans may be damaged if they were run at full speed delivering very cold
air to the frozen cargo.
Running the fans at full speed would generate too much heat which may
affect the frozen meat.
It is an energy saving measure since chilled meat cargoes do not require as
much cold air.
In preparing a reefer vessel for loading the next cargo a careful inspection of the cargo
spaces should be carried out. All required maintenance and the repair of any
damage identified during the inspection should be completed prior to loading.
Select, from the options given, the most appropriate action to be taken when the
maintenance and any repairs are completed.
Make a detailed record of all maintenance and repairs carried out for
presentation to the supervisor at the loading port as proof that the vessel is
in an acceptable condition for loading the cargo.
Keep a record of all the repairs in the planned maintenance schedule. Don't
bother recording anything as this type of work is considered routine. Keep a
record of the hours worked as a basis for a claim against the previous
charterers.

DPKP
On some trades fruit cargoes may be subjected to 'in-transit cold treatment' also known as
cold treatment. From the options given which is the main purpose of this cold
treatment?
To maintain a specified minimum temperature for a prescribed time period
to kill off any fruit fly which may be present when loading the cargo.
To ensure that the fruit is carried as cold as possible without damaging the
fruit.
To achieve uniform quality of the fruit at discharge.
To maintain the temperature of the fruit within very tight tolerances.
Reefer vessels form part of the 'cold chain' in the transport of perishable goods from the
producer to the consumer. There are times when hatches have to remain open in less
than perfect conditions, for example strong winds. There are steps that can be taken
however to mitigate the effects of this on cargo that has already been loaded. Which
of the options given could be considered to be the most important measure to
counter the effect of such conditions?
Cover the stow with a Tenasco (heavy plastic) sheet where possible to
protect it from the wind.
Run the cargo fans continuously during cargo operations.
Reduce the air delivery temperature.
Refrain from ventilating the cargo with fresh air.
With the exception of some citrus fruits and bananas, fruit is usually pre-cooled to the
required carriage temperature prior to loading on a reefer vessel. In order to protect
the cold chain, and to maintain the temperature of the fruit, a minimum exposure
time to ambient conditions during loading is necessary. What action should the deck
officers take during loading to achieve this minimum exposure time?
Close the hatches and apply cooling to the cargo already loaded during any
break in cargo operations that exceed 30 minutes.
Close the hatches and apply cooling to the cargo already loaded during any
overnight break in cargo operations.
Close the hatches for any break in cargo operations that exceed 60 minutes.
Request that the stevedores work faster to minimise loading time.

indicating saturation. The temperature of the deionized water is noted at this
time and corresponds to the dew point. Reference to correction tables is
required to correct the reading for barometric pressure.
A small quantity of Methanol is placed into the device and dry-ice is
progressively added to it to steadily reduce the temperature. A sample of the
atmosphere in the tank is continuously drawn through the device, passing

1085. The automatic stripping systems fitted on some of the centrifugal cargo pumps
operate on the principle that:
If cargo vapour can be stopped from
entering the cargo pump suction
inlet, the flow will continue without
cavitation.
If the suction is fitted low enough in

suction will be available until the tank is completely discharged.
By automatically reducing the rate at which oil cargo enters the cargo pump,
such that no vapour is lifted along with the liquid, there will be no loss of
suction.

Make a careful note of the
quantities of gas onboard and note
this in the Ozone depletionrecord

Make a careful note of the quantities of gas onboard and note this in the
Ozone Depleting Record Book before discharging the gas to atmosphere.
Discharge the gas to atmosphere prior to arrival to minimise handling costs

1113. As well as having temperature sensors located in the cargo holds some reefer
vessels are also fitted with ethylene sensors. Why is it useful to have information
regarding the ethylene content in a reefer vessel cargo hold when carrying fruit
cargoes?
Some fruit cargoes are sensitive to ethylene and the quality of the cargo can
deteriorate as they may over-ripen.
The ethylene content can be used as a guide as to when air change fans need
to run.
The ethylene content is beneficial to perishable cargoes in transit so the
content needs to be monitored in case the level falls.
The ethylene content must be maintained to help ripen the fruit during the
sea voyage.
399
DPKP
1114. Data loggers are a vital part of the temperature control and monitoring system on a
reefer vessel. In a situation where the data logger fails several days before the end
of the voyage it is still necessary to maintain control of and monitor cargo
temperatures. How could an accurate, portable thermometer be used to the best
effect, to achieve this, in such a situation?
Use the thermometer to check and control the delivery air temperature by
inserting it in the delivery air ducting close to the evaporators.
Use the thermometer to check and control the return air temperature by
holding it in the return air space on top of the cargo.
Use the thermometer to check the pulp temperature by entering the cargo
space and placing it in the centre of the stow.
Use the thermometer to maintain the delivery air settings as they were prior
to the data logger breaking down.
1115. Despite setting what appears to be the correct delivery air temperatures in
accordance with shipper's instructions, large cargo loss claims can still occur when
operating reefer vessels. Which of the options given is likely to help avoid the
majority of these large claims?
By confirming the temperature scale that the shipper is using in his carriage
instructions, Fahrenheit or Celsius.
By confirming that the shipper is supplying to a market that works in
Fahrenheit or Celsius.
By confirming that the vessel plant is calibrated in the same temperature
scale that the shipper is quoting.
By confirming the whether the shipper is referring to the delivery air or pulp
temperature of the cargo.

1116. Many fruit cargoes are carried refrigerated and also under controlled atmosphere
(CA) conditions. A situation develops where there is a problem with the main reefer
plant that will take several hours to repair but the CA system is still operation.
Which of the statements given in the options is the most accurate in these
circumstances?
The CA plant is only an adjunct for the refrigeration plant and therefore
there should be concern about the condition of the cargo.
The CA plant will take care of the cargo without the refrigeration plant and
therefore there is no further action required and no need for concern.
The CA plant could be used to increase the levels of carbon dioxide in the
cargo space which will be sufficient to preserve the fruit.
The CA plant could be used to increase the levels of nitrogen in the cargo
spaces which will be sufficient to preserve the fruit.
1117. Many reefer vessels are fitted with controlled atmosphere systems (CA). There are
a number of different systems available but generally they all work by introducing
nitrogen into the cargo space. Select, from the options given, the main reason why
nitrogen is generally the gas chosen for controlling the atmosphere in the cargo
spaces of a reefer vessel.
Nitrogen displaces the oxygen in the cargo space and allows the respiration
of the fruit to be controlled.
Nitrogen is the most plentiful gas available.
Nitrogen remains as a gas at all temperatures used in refrigerated transport.
Nitrogen is inert and there is no risk of creating a flammable mixture in the
cargo space.
401
DPKP
1118. Most fruit cargoes carried under refrigeration require introduction of fresh air into
the cargo space to remove any excess carbon dioxide and ethylene produced by
respiration of the cargo and sensors are fitted to detect these gases. Shipper's
instructions will often indicate 'constant air change' as a requirement for a cargo.
Why, even though this is a crude method for controlling the cargo space
atmosphere, is this type of instruction given?
Some cargoes are very sensitive to ethylene levels and it may be difficult to
accurately measure the low levels that would affect a cargo.
It is the standard method and it is always done that way for simplicity.
As much fresh air as possible should always be introduced into the cargo
space throughout the voyage to maintain cargo quality.
Fresh air helps to acclimatise the cargo to the prevailing ambient conditions.
1119. On a conventional reefer vessel is possible to ventilate the cargo spaces with fresh
air using fans and trunkings. One of the reasons for using fresh air ventilation is to
control the relative humidity within the cargo space. Select the option which best
completes the following statement. "It is beneficial to be able to control the relative
humidity within the cargo space because fruit cargoes should be kept…
…relatively moist to avoid the cargo dehydrating during the passage."
relatively dry to avoid the formation of fungus in the vent trunkings during
the passage."
…relatively dry to avoid deterioration of the packaging during the passage."
... As dry as possible to avoid build up of mould during the passage."
1120. On a reefer vessel air is passed over the cooling coils before entering the cargo
hatch via trunking to cool the cargo. It is important to ensure that the cooling coils
are clear of any material such as plastic sheeting or bags. Why is this so important?
The plastic may interfere with the air flow over the cooling coils and
subsequently the cooling of the cargo.
The plastic sheeting may be picked up by and foul the cooling fans.
The plastic material may block scuppers and bilges.
The plastic material may affect condensation forming on the cooling coils.
402
DPKP
1121. Prior to loading a reefer cargo it is good practise to carry out an 'ice test' of the
temperature sensors within the cargo space. Part of the test is to immerse the
sensors in a test bucket of known temperature, usually zero degrees Celsius as this
is the melting point of ice. Which of the options is correct in relation to preparing
the test bucket?
Insulated ice buckets should be filled with ice cubes approximately 2
centimetres square and a small quantity of distilled water to produce an ice-
water mixture. The ice cubes should be produced from clean distilled water.
Insulated ice buckets should be filled with ice cubes approximately 2
centimetres square which have been made from clean distilled water.
Insulated ice buckets should be filled with ice produced in the vessel's low
temperature chamber. A hole the exact size of the sensor should be drilled
into the ice and the sensor inserted into the hole to give a rapid test process.
Insulated ice buckets should be filled with crushed ice purchased in bulk
from a shore supplier.
1122. Refrigerated cargo spaces are fitted with temperature sensors and in some cases
carbon dioxide sensors. From the options given select the one which best completes
the following statement. "Monitoring the carbon dioxide content in a cargo space
loaded with fruit can be useful because…
increasing levels indicate that the fruit may be starting to ripen."
its presence indicates that the fruit is ripe."
low levels indicate that there are insufficient numbers of air changes."
its presence indicates that the fruit is still not ripe."
1123. Select the option which correctly completes the following statement. "A
conventional reefer vessel operating with a controlled atmosphere plant must have
cargo spaces which…
have a gas tight seal."
have a minimum number of deckhead and bulkhead penetrations."
have the normal bulkhead and deckhead penetrations required for a reefer
compartment."
are fitted with variable speed fans."

1124. The data logger on a reefer vessel normally records temperatures for air delivery,
air return and cargo pulp. How would the air delivery and return temperatures be
expected to vary during the first few days of carrying a cargo of citrus fruit which
had not been pre-cooled before loading?
The difference between the two temperatures would steadily reduce.
The difference between the two temperatures would steadily increase.
The difference between the two temperatures would remain constant.
The two temperatures would remain constant
1125. To correctly interpret the readings on the printout from a reefer vessel‘s cargo data
logger it is essential to have some knowledge of the location of the temperature
sensors. Where would the temperature sensor for the delivery air to a cargo hold be
expected to be located?
In the air flow path from the cooling coils, about 3 metres from the coils.
In the air flow path from the cooling coils, but at the opposite end of the
cargo space to the coils.
Just above the cooling coils where the air returns from the cargo space.
Near the centre of the cargo space.
1126. What should be done with the data logger printouts after completing the discharge
of a refrigerated cargo?
They should be retained onboard for a minimum of 2 years.
They should be retained onboard indefinitely.
They can be discarded once the discharge is completed.
They should be handed over to the cargo receiver.
1127. During sea passage on a roro vessel, how would you know if gasoline vapours were

1174. Although not required by the IMDG Code, on a container vessel, carrying
Calcium Hypochlorite under refrigeration is beneficial so as to:
Prevent the cargo temperature increasing into the danger
zone.
Maintain a continuous air flow through the cargo.
Maintain a record of the temperature of the cargo.
Ensure the cargo is shipped in a clean container.
1175. Carriage of wet scrap steel borings, turnings and swarf in containers is generally
considered dangerous, because:
It can spontaneously ignite.
This type of cargo will corrode the container.
The moisture will cause a huge increase in the
weight of the cargo.
The cargo will not dry out en route enroute.
1176. Containerised scrap metal fire is best extinguished by:

418
DPKP
1178. Fire in a container carrying chemicals is difficult to extinguish, because:

Heat is often produced due to
chemical reactions within the cargo.
Water, if used, will always cause a
chemical fire to flare up.
Such containers containing
chemicals are always inaccessible.
Chemical fires always spread
instantaneously to other containers.
1179. If a tank container of liquid ammonia is engulfed in fire, it is recommended:

To allow ventilation.
To restrict ventilation.
Not to use water to cool the container.
Not to use dry chemical to extinguish the fire.
1180. Stack allowable weights on a container vessel should not be exceeded because this
can cause:

The GM tov become excessive
leading to high roll accelerations.
Torsional effects on the hull.
1181. The most important consideration, in terms of stress, when planning stowage of
containers on a container vessel would be:

1182. "Noxious Liquid Substances which, if discharged into the sea from tank cleaning
or deballasting operations , are deemed to present a hazard to either marine
resources or human health or cause harm to amenities or other legitimate uses of the
sea and therefore justify a limitation on the quality and quantity of the discharge
into the marine environment". Such substances are:
A category "Y" substance as
identified in MARPOL Annex II.
A category "X" substance as
identified in MARPOL Annex II.
An NLS as defined in ISGOTT,
revision V.
A liquid cargo that is prohibited for carriage
in vessels other than type 1 chemical tanker,
as defined in the IBC Code.

1185. In discussing the properties of Noxious Liquid Substances, the criteria for defining
Threshold Limit Value (TLV) is:
The time-weighted concentration of a substance to which a worker may be
repeatedly exposed for a normal 8 hour working day and 40 hour week
without adverse health effects.
The maximum concentration of a vapour to which a worker may be
repeatedly exposed for a maximum of 12 hours per day, 5 days per week
without serious health effects.
The maximum concentration of harmful vapour to which a worker may be
exposed for a period of 15 minutes up to 4 times within any 24 hour period
without adverse respiratory effects.
The concentration of a vapour expressed as a percentage of the oxygen
content of an environment in which a fit human-being can work
continuously for a period of 8 hours.
1186. It is considered especially necessary to continue to ventilate the tank and to

continuously monitor the atmosphere when working inside a cargo compartment
which still contains vegetable oil residues, because:
The decomposing residues continue to release hazardous gases, reducing the
levels of oxygen in the tank and making the atmosphere potentially
dangerous.
Forced ventilation will create a hard "skin" on the residues, making them
safer to stand on. Testing the atmosphere will indicate when this skin has
formed, as no further vapours will be released.
Vegetable oils are commonly washed using very hot water. Forced
ventilation will make the temperature inside the compartment better to work
in. Monitoring the atmosphere will indicate if the humidity is increasing.
For a tank which has contained vegetable oils, if it is continuously ventilated
an Enclosed Space Entry Permit is not required. However, for anyone
entering the compartment without a permit in place, they must carry an
oxygen meter which continuously monitors the atmosphere.

product because Phenol has a relatively high melting point.
It should be inerted, because Phenol has a very low Flash Point.
It should be continuously vented to avoid the build up of condensation on
the structure around the product.
It is not necessary to take any additional precautions with the double bottom
tank because it is part of an entirely separate pumping system.
423
DPKP
1192. You have just loaded a cargo of Toluene on a chemical tanker and are about to
clear the lines into the ship. The one particular hazard that must be noted about this
product would be that:

It has a relatively low density. Tanks which are close to maximum filling are
especially liable to overflow during the line clearing operation unless the
flow of blowing medium is strictly controlled.
It has a relatively high freezing point and additional line blowing will be
required to ensure the vessel's lines are completely clear.
It is a carcinogen but has a relatively high odor threshold value. Personnel
may not readily detect any vapour that is ejected through the vent risers and
should therefore use filter masks while this operation is in progress.

vessel is a principal design aim of a Naval Architect. Which of the options given
represents the optimum cargo space shape?
A square space as would be found
in a midships lower deck.
A narrow tapered space as would be
found in a forward lower deck.
A flared space that would be found
in a forward upper deck.
1368. A long oblong space as would be found in an after upper deck. Conventional reefer
vessels are usually designed with fine lines and large flared bows. Consequently, in
adverse weather conditions, especially from forward of the beam, the navigating
officers need to be mainly aware of which of the given options?
This type of vessel is prone to large hull deflections which may result in
structural damage.
That the main engine governor may not be effective when the vessel pitches
heavily.
That the bow is ideal for keeping the forward decks dry and clear of water.
That the vessel design means that high speeds can be maintained and the
perishable cargo can be delivered in good condition.
1369. Earlier cellular reefer vessels were constructed with a 'porthole system' for
supplying refrigerated air via ducting to containers. Modern vessels are designed to
supply only electrical power to integral containers. Select the main reason for this
change in design to the vessels and containers
from the options given.
The 'porthole' system design was
extremely complex and construction costs
were high.
Ducted containers had to be transhipped to their final destination after
discharge and still required refrigeration for that part of the supply chain
A large amount of refrigerant gas was required to operate the 'porthole'
system.

tween decks approximately 2 to 2.5 metres in height and deep lower holds
approximately 4 to 5 metres deep. Modern designs usually incorporate more decks
each approximately 2.3 metres in height. What is the main reason for this
fundamental design change?
There is an almost universal use of standard
height pallets.
The increased proportion of chilled as
opposed to frozen cargoes that are carrie
The increased number of container vessels has reduced the tendency to carry
general cargo outbound from Europe or North America to Australia and
New Zealand on reefer vessels.
It is easier to construct vessels with shallow decks.

the transhipment at sea, or at anchor, of a cargo of frozen squid, as weather permits.
Both vessels have 4 holds, vessel A has high speed, 10 tonne deck cranes and vessel
B has 5 tonne, union purchase derricks. Which of the vessels, if any, would be best
suited to this type of operation?
Vessel B would be more suitable as the derricks will give more control of
the operation at sea or at anchor.
Vessel A would be more suitable as the high speed cranes would allow the
operation to be completed more quickly.
Neither vessel would be suitable as none of the cargo handling equipment
fitted could be used at sea or at anchor.
Vessel A would be more suitable as the greater lift capacity of the cranes
would allow bigger pallets to be transhippe
