🔍 Key Concepts

• SOLAS II-2 requirement for fire main international shore connection on tankers of 500 GT and above • Difference between symbols for a valve, a hose, and a shore connection/adapter in fire-control plan markings • Location/use of fittings that must be available on both sides of the ship

💭 Think About

• Ask which piece of equipment must connect the ship’s fire main to a shore-based fire main — would that be a valve, a hose, or a special adapter? • Look at the four symbol numbers in the choices and compare which one represents something that could reasonably be mounted at or near the ship’s side for shore use. • Consider which of the four symbols is specifically an interface between ship and shore, not just internal piping or hose gear.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify from the illustration legend which symbol number represents the international shore connection rather than a standard valve or hose. • Confirm that the symbol you pick is associated with the fire main system, not with foam or other media. • Make sure the equipment you select is something that regulations require to be fitted or at least usable on each side of the ship.
