🔍 Key Concepts

• Immediate safety actions during bunkering (fueling) operations • Requirements under pollution prevention laws for oil spills and sheens • Difference between stopping the operation, finding the cause, and notifying authorities

💭 Think About

• If you see oil on the water in the middle of fueling, what action most directly prevents more pollution from occurring in the next few seconds? • Which options can be done after you’ve controlled the situation, and which one actually stops the situation from getting worse? • Think about the order: control the source, then assess, then report. Which choice matches that first step?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which choice immediately prevents more oil from entering the water. • Ask yourself which actions require time and communication, and which can be done instantly on deck. • Verify that your FIRST step should focus on stopping or limiting the discharge, before formal notifications and investigations.
