To allow for the rise or fall in tide and for change in draft of a tankship during cargo transfer, how must the cargo hoses be secured?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Tidal range and vessel draft changes during loading or discharging a tankship • Difference between supporting hoses vs. allowing movement and flex in hoses • How mooring lines and mooring limits affect the ship's movement at the pier

💭 Think About

• Think about what actually happens to the ship’s height and position alongside the dock during cargo transfer and changing tides. How must the hoses behave so they are not overstressed? • Which option(s) describe supporting the physical weight and position of the hoses, and which option(s) deal with allowing horizontal/vertical movement? • If the ship moves within its allowed range at the berth, what is most important for preventing damage to the hoses or manifolds?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which answers describe how to support the hoses vs. how to provide slack for movement • Ask: Does any single method alone fully address both the rise/fall of the ship and its movement to mooring limits? • Verify which option best reflects standard safe cargo hose handling practices on a tankship during transfer.

To allow for the rise or fall in tide and for change in draft of a tankship during cargo transfer, how must the cargo hoses be secured?

Using slings or saddles placed at 25-foot (8 meter) intervals

With topping lifts and runners tied off to winches

With enough slack to allow vessel to move to its mooring limits

All of the above
