🔍 Key Concepts

• Fueling/bunkering sequence: what is done immediately AFTER transfer is stopped but BEFORE you secure paperwork and hoses • Purpose of sounding tanks after bunkering (verification vs. preparation vs. documentation) • Difference between making tanks seaworthy and verifying quantities/levels for an oil transfer operation

💭 Think About

• In a real bunkering operation, what must the crew confirm right away to ensure both safety and correct documentation before anything else? • Which option reflects a common, practical check that proves you actually received the expected amount of fuel and that no tank is overfilled? • Which choices sound more like long-term/administrative tasks rather than the immediate operational step after bunkering is completed?

✅ Before You Answer

• Which action directly confirms the actual quantity and level of fuel in each tank right after bunkering? • Which step would help you quickly detect an overfill or misrouted fuel transfer if it had occurred? • Eliminate any options that do NOT give you a clear, measured confirmation of tank contents/levels at the end of the operation.
