🔍 Key Concepts

• Pollution prevention requirements during fuel transfer operations • Safe handling and securing of bunker hoses after use • Why eliminating residual oil leaks and trip hazards is important

💭 Think About

• After bunkering, what is the main safety and environmental concern related to the hose itself? • Which option best prevents accidental oil discharge or drips while the vessel is underway or alongside? • Think about what is realistic, standard shipboard practice versus something that would be impractical or unnecessary every time you bunker.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which option clearly prevents oil from leaking from the hose after use • Check which procedure ensures the hose is securely stored and not a hazard on deck • Eliminate any answer that sounds like an unusually complicated cleaning process for normal, routine bunkering operations
