🔍 Key Concepts

• Volatile cargo in tanker operations usually means a cargo with a low flash point that readily gives off flammable vapors • Difference between heavy fuel oils/bunkers and light, flammable chemicals • How the flash point of a substance affects vapor formation and fire risk

💭 Think About

• Think about which of these products is most likely to give off flammable vapors at normal ambient temperatures on deck • Consider which product would require stricter gas-freeing, ventilation, and ignition-control procedures due to vapor formation • Ask yourself which of these is closest in behavior to common volatile chemicals handled under strict cargo vapor control requirements

✅ Before You Answer

• Before choosing, recall that volatile generally corresponds to low flash point and high vapor pressure • Eliminate any cargoes you know are heavy oils or typically stored and handled at relatively low ignition risk • Check which listed substance is a chemical amine commonly treated as a flammable/volatile product in tanker and chemical-carrier operations
