Question 1 of 27070

The deck scuppers should be plugged __________.

🔍 Key Concepts

• Fueling operations safety and pollution prevention practices • Purpose of deck scuppers and where they drain • How spill containment (fixed or portable) works during bunkering/fueling

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: during fueling, what is the main risk if scuppers are left open and there is a spill on deck? • Think about whether the type of containment (fixed vs. portable) changes the basic rule about preventing oil or fuel from going overboard. • Consider when scuppers should be able to drain normally and when they should be blocked to keep spills contained on deck.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify how scuppers function: do they normally let deck water drain overboard or into a containment system? • Confirm standard practice for pollution prevention during fueling—are scuppers typically open or plugged while taking fuel? • Check whether the rule depends on having or not having a particular type of containment, or on the operation taking place (such as fueling).
