🔍 Key Concepts

• Safe bilge cleaning practices on commercial vessels • Pollution prevention and proper handling/disposal of oily waste • What actions are practical, safe, and legal during a voyage when a bilge well is clogged

💭 Think About

• Which option best reflects standard good seamanship: safely accessing, inspecting, and clearing a clogged bilge well? • Do any options suggest introducing chemicals, fuel, or wash products directly into the bilge that might cause pollution or regulatory issues? • Is changing the ship’s trim a sensible long‑term solution, or more of a last‑ditch workaround that might hide the real problem?

✅ Before You Answer

• Check which choice involves physically accessing and cleaning the bilge well in a controlled way. • Identify any option that could violate pollution regulations (e.g., adding fuel or tank wash to the bilge). • Ask: which answer solves the actual blockage safely and directly, rather than just working around it for the rest of the voyage?
