🔍 Key Concepts

• Tanker loading safety procedures and who must be on deck during operations • Proper valve operation technique on tankers • Correct handling of loading hoses to prevent damage, spills, and surge forces

💭 Think About

• For each choice, ask: Would this reduce or increase the risk of a spill, hose failure, or overpressure? • Consider what industry practice says about how a loading hose should lie between ship and shore: tight and strained, or supported with some slack? • Think about where watchstanders must be during loading: close to the operation or away from it?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify whether seamen on watch are permitted to stay in the messroom during cargo operations • Check if standard tanker practice is to place a strain on loading hoses or to avoid strain and support them properly • Consider whether loading only one tank at a time is required, or if controlled loading of multiple tanks is normal practice on tankers
