🔍 Key Concepts

• Purpose of a cargo hose and vessel’s manifold during cargo transfer • How static electricity or stray currents can be controlled between ship and shore during liquid cargo operations • Typical use of an international shore connection and when it is required

💭 Think About

• Which option directly relates to electrical continuity or insulation between ship and shore during cargo transfer? • Which items in the choices are personal protective equipment or measuring instruments, and which are actually installed between hose and manifold? • In tanker operations, what is normally fitted at the manifold end of a shore hose to control sparking risk?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which device is specifically used in the hose/manifold connection during cargo transfer, not elsewhere on the ship • Check which option is designed to prevent arcing or static discharge between ship and shore during loading/discharging flammable cargoes • Confirm the normal purpose of an international shore connection (fire main / water supply) and whether it is typically used for cargo hoses
