💭 Think About

• Which of these systems, if it failed or had a hose rupture, could quickly cause a major spill or hazardous release during loading or discharging? • Which equipment is directly involved in moving oil or hazardous liquid between ship and shore? • Think about where U.S. regulations focus their emergency stop devices: on systems that must be stopped immediately to prevent escalation of a cargo or pollution emergency.

✅ Before You Answer
