🔍 Key Concepts

• 46 CFR Part 56 – piping systems and appurtenances • Purpose of a bilge pumping system on a seagoing vessel • Difference between required connections and optional/forbidden connections to the bilge system

💭 Think About

• Think about why the Coast Guard is strict about what can and cannot be connected to the bilge system. What risk are they trying to avoid? • Ask yourself which option describes a condition that must be met at all times for safety, versus items that might only apply on some ships or in some designs. • Look at each choice and decide: is this a universal safety requirement, or could it create a risk of pumping something dangerous or unwanted overboard?

✅ Before You Answer

• Check whether oil tanks are normally allowed to be directly connected to the bilge system under pollution-prevention rules. • Consider whether the regulations focus more on system operability under damage/heel/flooding conditions or on requiring separate dedicated pumps for specific spaces like peak tanks and chain lockers. • Verify which of the options sounds like a broad performance requirement that would apply to every vessel’s bilge system, regardless of layout.
