70% to passWhich of the following best describes the requirement of the emergency pump control when used as the emergency shutdown on tank vessels?
A
stop the flow of oil at the main deck manifold
B
prevent the oil from leaving the shore facility
C
prevent the oil from siphoning through the pump
D
None of the above
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) prevent the oil from siphoning through the pump. The emergency pump control is required to stop the flow of oil from the tank vessel in the event of an emergency, such as a spill or fire. By shutting off the pump, it prevents the oil from siphoning through the pump and continuing to flow out, which could exacerbate the emergency situation. The other options, such as stopping the flow at the main deck manifold or preventing oil from leaving the shore facility, are not the primary function of the emergency pump control.
