70% to passWhich of the following bilge pumping applications would most likely use a non-automated centrifugal pump under manual supervision?
AShaft alley bilges
BMachinery space bilges
CEngine room bilges
DDry cargo-hold bilges
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) Dry cargo-hold bilges. Dry cargo-hold bilges would most likely use a non-automated centrifugal pump under manual supervision. This is because dry cargo-hold bilges are not considered machinery spaces, so they are not required to have automated bilge pumping systems. Instead, a manually operated centrifugal pump would be used to remove any water accumulation in the cargo holds. The other options (A, B, C) are more likely to have automated bilge pumping systems in place, as they are associated with machinery spaces and engine rooms, which have specific regulatory requirements for bilge pumping.
