🔍 Key Concepts

• LNG carrier safety procedures for cargo leaks • Difference between detecting/assessing a potential leak and taking corrective action • Dangers of sending personnel into a space that may contain flammable gas and low oxygen

💭 Think About

• Before doing anything, what information do you need to confirm whether there is actually a dangerous leak or just an instrument indication? • Which actions could make a gas leak situation worse by adding ignition sources or exposing people to hazard? • In a suspected gas leak in an enclosed or semi-enclosed space, what are the usual priorities: measurement/monitoring, personnel safety, or immediate cargo transfer?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which option focuses on assessing conditions (pressure/temperature/atmosphere) before major actions are taken • Check which choices might endanger personnel or change the condition of the system without first confirming the situation • Eliminate any option that involves entering a potentially unsafe space before its atmosphere and structure are verified as safe

immediately commence lining up the system to educt LNG from the cargo hold and prepare to jettison LNG from cargo tank #3

check the temperature and pressure indicators in the hold space

commence purging hold #3 with inert gas

send someone into the hold space with SCBA and cryogenic immersion suit, to investigate the condition of the hold
