🔍 Key Concepts

• redundancy and reliability requirements for main propulsion systems • how critical services (like fuel heating for main engines) are usually arranged on inspected vessels • difference between capacity requirements and arrangement requirements (number of units / series vs parallel)

💭 Think About

• Think about what happens if one fuel oil heater fails while the vessel is underway and the main engine needs heated fuel to keep running. What arrangement would regulations likely favor to maintain propulsion? • Consider whether regulations are more likely to specify the number and arrangement of heaters, or to require that each individual heater alone can handle full load. • Ask yourself: if the system can only work with heaters in a specific configuration, does that increase or decrease overall reliability and flexibility?

✅ Before You Answer

• Check which option best supports continuous safe operation of the main engine if a single component fails. • Verify which choice reflects a typical redundant design philosophy used in marine engineering systems. • Make sure the option you pick focuses on system arrangement for reliability, not just theoretical heating capacity.
