Question 1322Deck General70% to pass
While discharging cargo, the cargo tank pressures are falling too low. What can the Cargo Officer do to correct the problem?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) All of the above.
When the cargo tank pressures are falling too low during cargo discharge, the Cargo Officer has several options to correct the problem:
1) Ask the terminal to send more vapor to the ship to maintain the tank pressure. This will help prevent the pressure from dropping too low.
2) Slow the discharge rate to reduce the rate at which the tank pressure is dropping.
3) Stop the discharge completely if the tank pressure drops to a critically low level, in order to avoid potential damage to the cargo tanks or other systems.
All three of these actions can be taken by the Cargo Officer to address the issue of falling cargo tank pressures during discharge operations.
