🔍 Key Concepts

• Bunkering procedures and why detailed tank plans are made • Effects of partially filled tanks (free surface effect, sloshing) versus completely full or empty tanks • Operational and structural concerns when transferring large volumes of fuel

💭 Think About

• Think about what happens inside a tank when it is only partly filled compared to when it is filled from empty to full in one controlled operation. • Which of these choices describes a problem that is especially associated with partly filled tanks during bunkering? • Ask yourself which option would be the primary safety/operational reason taught in bunkering best practices, rather than a possible side effect.

✅ Before You Answer

• Consider how free surface effect and liquid movement can impact stability and loading during bunkering. • Ask whether the reason you pick would be best addressed by tank selection and filling sequence, or by other procedures (like compatibility tests or spill containment). • Check which option aligns with standard bunkering safety guidance about using empty tanks versus topping off multiple partly full tanks.
