🔍 Key Concepts

• Bunkering sequence: initial connection, starting pumps, normal transfer, topping off, shutdown • How tank levels and back pressure change as the tank gets close to full • Common causes of overflow and hose bursts during fuel transfers

💭 Think About

• At what stage in bunkering is the risk of overflow from the tank the greatest, and why? • When are operators most likely to lose control of the exact rate and small volume of fuel being transferred? • Which step requires the most precise communication between the ship and the terminal/barge about slowing down and stopping the flow?

✅ Before You Answer

• Think about which phase has the least room for error in tank volume • Consider when pressure surges or delayed shut-down can quickly lead to a spill • Ask: at which step would a small mistake in timing most likely push fuel out of vents or over the deck?
