🔍 Key Concepts

• Meaning of segregated ballast in pollution-prevention rules for oil tankers • Which ship systems can cause oil contamination of ballast water (think: where oil is normally present) • Difference between cargo/fuel oil systems and other water systems like fire main or sea water cooling

💭 Think About

• On an oil tanker, in which spaces are you most likely to find oil that could mix with ballast water if the systems were connected? • If the goal is to keep ballast water completely clean for discharge at sea, which systems must the ballast tanks be isolated from? • Look at each option and ask: Does this system normally carry oil, or is it usually just water?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which systems are directly involved with carrying or handling oil (cargo or fuel). • Confirm that segregated ballast tanks are designed so their pipes and pumps do not connect with oil systems. • Check which answer choice specifically mentions separation from cargo or fuel oil systems, not just general water or bilge systems.
