🔍 Key Concepts

• Static electricity and how it is created during fuel transfer or cargo operations • The role of bonding and grounding on vessels handling flammable liquids • How flammable vapors can be ignited by even a small static discharge

💭 Think About

• Which option talks about directly connecting equipment to safely discharge any static build-up? • Do any of the choices sound like they address a different hazard (like humidity control or shutting down power) rather than static itself? • Think about standard procedures during bunkering or tank-cleaning: what is ALWAYS done with hoses and metal parts before starting transfer?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which choice refers to bonding/grounding of all conductive parts used in the transfer operation. • Check whether dehumidifying air is a standard maritime safety practice for static control around flammable liquids (look at what your textbook emphasizes). • Confirm that the correct practice deals with controlling the charge on the equipment and hoses themselves, not just the surrounding environment.

Question 1 of 20

How can the build up of static electricity be prevented so that a static spark does not ignite flammable vapors?

Each machine and hose involved in the operation should be grounded.

All electrical circuits near and around the fueling operations should be opened.

A dehumidifier used in spaces containing flammable liquids will significantly reduce the possibility of static charges being generated.

Static neutralizers can be used to reduce ionization in the air.
