🔍 Key Concepts

• cargo stripping system purpose on tankers • difference between main cargo pumps and stripping pumps/eductors • what happens to small amounts of cargo left after normal discharge

💭 Think About

• Think about when the main cargo pumps can no longer pick up liquid from the tank—what equipment is used then, and for what specific job? • Which option describes a function that is directly related to handling the last remaining liquid cargo, rather than vapor, temperature, or shore operations? • Ask yourself: is a stripping system about the bulk of the cargo, or about the residual that the main system cannot remove?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which choice talks about residual liquid remaining after normal pumping, not the main discharge flow. • Eliminate any answers that deal with vapors only or heating/temperature control, as those are usually separate systems (inert gas, ventilation, heating coils). • Confirm that the function you choose fits with equipment located at the low points/suction wells of cargo tanks, meant to finish off the discharge.
