🔍 Key Concepts

• Inert gas system purpose on tankers (keep tanks non-flammable by maintaining low oxygen and positive pressure) • Conditions that make a cargo tank atmosphere potentially flammable (oxygen content and pressure loss) • Typical company / SOLAS / ISGOTT guidance on cargo operations when inerting is lost

💭 Think About

• If the inert gas system cannot maintain tank pressure or oxygen below 8%, what happens to the flammability risk inside the cargo tanks? • Think about whether you are allowed to keep moving flammable cargo when your main protection against fire/explosion is not working as required. • Which option best matches a safety‑first, immediate‑risk response rather than a gradual or administrative response?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which option removes ignition/explosion risk the fastest when inert gas protection is lost. • Check whether any option suggests continuing cargo operations, even at a reduced rate, while the tank atmosphere may be within flammable limits. • Confirm that the selected option matches how you would react to any critical safety system failure (not just inert gas).
