🔍 Key Concepts

• 46 CFR requirements for emergency bilge suction in machinery spaces • Difference between a normal bilge system and an emergency bilge system • How Coast Guard rules treat independence and cross-connections in bilge and ballast systems

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: in an emergency where the main bilge system is damaged or flooded, what feature must the emergency bilge system have to still work? • Which of the options would increase the risk of flooding spreading through piping to other systems, and which would minimize that risk? • Think about why the Coast Guard is cautious about connections between ballast and bilge systems — what danger can that create?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify in 46 CFR whether the emergency bilge system is allowed to rely on the same piping/manifold as the main bilge system. • Check if Coast Guard regulations encourage or restrict cross-connections between bilge and ballast systems for damage-control reasons. • Confirm whether the regulation talks about a required independent source of suction versus just an independent priming pump.
