While maneuvering up the East River your vessel runs aground. As the chief engineer of the vessel how would you proceed?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Grounding emergencies and the chief engineer’s immediate responsibilities • Risk of hull breaches, flooding, and fuel oil leaks after a grounding • Importance of initial damage assessment before making other decisions

💭 Think About

• After a grounding, what engineering information do you need to know right away to protect the vessel and environment? • Which action helps you detect flooding or fuel leakage as early as possible? • Which options can safely be delayed until after you know the condition of tanks and spaces?

✅ Before You Answer

• Which choice directly checks fuel containment and watertight integrity? • Which options depend on shore-side support versus actions you must start immediately on board? • Which actions could be unsafe or incomplete if you haven’t verified tank levels and bilge/void conditions first?
