🔍 Key Concepts

• 46 CFR requirements for stopping cargo transfer on tank vessels • Situations that create immediate ignition or pollution hazards during loading • Special considerations for grade D and E flammable/combustible cargoes

💭 Think About

• For each option, ask: would this situation normally require an immediate shutdown for safety or pollution control? • Which condition is more routine and controllable during loading, rather than an emergency condition? • Which choices clearly create an immediate, serious risk of fire, explosion, or pollution if transfer continues?

✅ Before You Answer

• Review which events are specifically listed in 46 CFR as requiring suspension of transfer operations • Identify which situations involve uncontrolled hazards versus controlled/managed operations • Verify how the presence of a tug alongside is usually handled when loading certain cargo grades
