🔍 Key Concepts

• Function of a bilge system and bilge suctions • How check valves/stop-check valves control flow direction • Risk of back-flooding from sea or ballast lines into machinery spaces

💭 Think About

• Which device or arrangement will automatically stop water from flowing back into the engine room bilges if a distant system floods? • Think about which option actually prevents reverse flow through the bilge line, even if a valve is left open or the line is pressurized from the other end. • Consider which choice is a system feature that blocks accidental flooding, rather than just being a type of pump or general bilge component.

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which option provides automatic one-way flow control (stops reverse flow). • Eliminate choices that only describe pump type or general bilge hardware but do not actively prevent flooding. • Ask: if a sea connection or ballast line failed, which arrangement would physically stop water from backing into the bilges?
