🔍 Key Concepts

• Engineering watchkeeping responsibilities per STCW and company standing orders • Difference between normal operating leakages/flows and signs of developing failure • Why oil appearing where only clean water/condensate should be is a serious warning sign

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: Which option describes something that is clearly abnormal for that system, not just a small or expected leakage? • Which condition, if not reported quickly, could lead to fire risk or serious machinery damage, rather than just minor maintenance? • In which choice is an unwanted substance showing up in a monitoring or inspection point specifically meant to catch problems?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which listed items are often considered “normal seepage” or expected minor losses in machinery spaces. • Think about which condition would most likely be written into standing orders as “report to engineer on watch immediately.” • Check which option involves oil appearing where you would normally expect only clean water or nothing at all.
