🔍 Key Concepts

• Slow-speed main propulsion diesel scavenging air receiver and drains • Engine room watchkeeping responsibilities and chain of command • Immediate reporting of abnormal or potentially hazardous conditions

💭 Think About

• Consider how serious a "significant amount" of oil in the scavenging air receiver drains could be in terms of fire risk and engine safety. • Think about who is on watch and directly responsible for the safe operation of the machinery at the time you make the discovery. • Ask yourself whether this condition can safely wait, or if it requires prompt attention to prevent damage or a casualty.

✅ Before You Answer

• Is oil accumulation in scavenging spaces associated with increased risk of fires or scavenge explosions? • Who is the person immediately responsible for the safe operation of the engine room at the time of your round? • Does proper watchkeeping practice require prompt reporting of abnormal conditions, or can they be delayed until it is convenient?
