Q

Your vessel is carrying 24,000 barrels of oil for discharge. The cargo hoses have an inside diameter of eight inches. What is the minimum capacity of the container around the loading manifold?

🔍 Key Concepts

• 33 CFR requirements for containment around oil transfer manifolds • How to convert barrels to gallons and compare to hose volume • Why regulations require a minimum number of barrels regardless of cargo size

💭 Think About

• Which regulation governs the required capacity of drip pans or containers at oil loading manifolds? • Is the capacity based on the total cargo quantity or on a fixed regulatory minimum around each manifold? • After you think of the regulation, compare the listed choices to the minimum capacity specified there.

✅ Before You Answer

• Confirm in 33 CFR that the requirement is stated in barrels, not gallons or cubic feet • Verify whether the rule mentions hose diameter or cargo volume as factors, or if it gives a straight minimum value • Make sure the choice you pick is not below the minimum container capacity given in the regulation
