  1. Question 1

    According to this module, in case of excessive sludge, if fuels have been mixed, how should the fuel oil separators be operated? Select the ONE correct answer.
    • In parallel, if possible, and at the highest possible flow rate.
    • In parallel, if possible, and at the lowest possible flow rate.
    • In series, if possible, and at the highest possible flow rate.
    • In series, if possible, and at the lowest possible flow rate.

  2. Question 2

    According to this module, what should a bunker sample be collected in? Select the ONE correct answer.
    • A disposable 10-litre or 5-litre cubitainer that is screwed onto the sampler and threaded with a seal.
    • A clean, re-usable glass storage jar with a seal.
    • A measuring jug for the easy distribution of the samples into other sealed plastic bottles.
    • Four small plastic bottles with labels affixed to them.

  3. Question 3

    According to this module, why is it not recommended to blend fuels on board? Select the ONE best answer.
    • Because it is easier to get them blended ashore.
    • Because it makes it difficult to calculate an accurate density.
    • Because it can result in an unstable blend that causes operational problems, such as large amounts of sludge.
    • Because they tend to separate very quickly if blended this way.

  4. Question 4

    During bunkering, why should you check the temperature of the bunkers? Select the ONE best answer.
    • Because temperature affects density, which is used in the calculation of volume of bunkers delivered.
    • Because temperature affects the pumping rate.
    • To check that the bunker oil remains below its closed flashpoint.
    • Because temperature affects density, which is used in the calculation of mass (weight) of bunkers delivered.

  5. Question 5

    How should a bunker sample be taken? Select the ONE correct answer.
    • A series of samples should be taken throughout the bunkering operation.
    • By a continuous drip-method throughout the duration of the bunkering.
    • One sample should be taken at intervals not exceeding 15 minutes.
    • The supplier should take and provide samples.
