🔍 Key Concepts

• Tank vessel oil transfer containment requirements in 46 CFR (tankship/tank barge design rules) • Purpose of drip pans/containment: to catch spills and hose/connection leaks during cargo transfer • What physical characteristic of the transfer system best predicts how much oil could be released at one manifold or connection point

💭 Think About

• Think about what actually limits how much oil can spill at a single loading manifold if a hose or arm fails suddenly. • Ask yourself: which option directly relates to the volume of oil that could escape locally at one connection, not the overall system? • Compare each choice: which factor would the regulation most likely use to size a small fixed containment area around one manifold—pressure, pipe/hose size, or number of vents/connections?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which factor is directly tied to cross‑sectional area and potential flow rate/volume at a single manifold connection. • Check whether cargo oil service pressure by itself determines how big a drip pan or containment has to be—or if it mainly affects structural/strength requirements instead. • Confirm whether the number of vents and overflows would realistically change the required capacity around a single manifold area.
