🔍 Key Concepts

• Inert Gas System (IGS) purpose on crude oil tankers • SOLAS and company procedures for cargo operations when IGS is not available • Risks of flammable vapor and static electricity during loading

💭 Think About

• What is the primary safety function of the inert gas system during crude oil loading, and what happens to tank atmosphere if it is not in operation? • Which option best reflects a conservative safety mindset when a critical safety system is not functioning as required? • Do regulations and industry practice generally allow loading crude oil without an operative inert gas system?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify whether loading crude oil into non-inerted tanks is permitted under SOLAS / flag / company requirements. • Check which options assume that loading continues and whether that aligns with the idea of a failed critical safety system. • Consider if it is safer to correct the problem before or while continuing cargo operations.
