Question 1 of 27070

When bunkering at anchorage which of the following signals must be displayed?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Bunkering (fuel transfer) safety signals at anchor vs alongside a pier • Difference between day shapes (flags) and lights at night for hazardous operations • When special signals are required even if the vessel is not underway

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: during bunkering, what is the main safety concern that other vessels must be warned about? • Does the requirement to show a signal for fuel transfer change just because the vessel is at anchor instead of alongside a berth? • If a signal is required, should it be visible only in daylight, only at night, or continuously (with different forms for day and night)?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify in regulations what signal indicates dangerous cargo or fuel transfer operations. • Check whether the rule distinguishes between at anchor and moored alongside for bunkering signals. • Confirm if the requirement is for both day and night or only one of them before choosing between the options.
