🔍 Key Concepts

• Engineering casualty priorities: safety of propulsion, power, and personnel; when fuel to the settler is lost, what will fail first and what must be ready next • Difference between re‑troubleshooting a known casualty and taking action to maintain/restore propulsion or power • Role of the emergency power source and how it’s normally brought online in anticipation of a blackout

💭 Think About

• If the fuel settler runs dry, what will likely happen to the main engine and the ship’s electrical power system within a few minutes? • Which option prepares the vessel for an imminent loss of normal power, and which options either delay action or duplicate work that has already been done? • In an exam scenario, when engineers have already fully troubleshot a casualty, is your next duty to restart the investigation, or to prepare the ship for the most probable consequence of the casualty?

✅ Before You Answer

• Has the question clearly stated that all engineers have already attempted troubleshooting and the transfer is still not possible? • Which choice directly prepares the vessel for a likely loss of propulsion and/or normal electrical power, rather than just asking for help or repeating prior steps? • Which action is consistent with standard practice for an imminent blackout or loss of main power, given only a few minutes remain before the settler is empty?
