🔍 Key Concepts

• Think about how cargo can be transferred from one group of tanks to another through the bottom piping system • Recall common terms used for piping connections between separate sections or systems on tank vessels • Consider what part of the system is located at the bottom versus what is on deck where hose connections are made

💭 Think About

• Which term best describes a permanent piping link between two tank sections, rather than a deck fitting or a tool? • Which of these words is commonly used to mean a connection or path between two separate lines or systems? • Eliminate any options that refer to tools or deck-level equipment, not internal bottom piping.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which choice names a piping connection between two cargo sections, not an on-deck header for loading/discharge • Check that the term you pick is used specifically for interconnecting cargo lines rather than for mooring or rigging • Make sure the term you choose fits a fixed part of the cargo piping system in the bottom, not portable gear or topside equipment
