Question 1328Deck General70% to pass
You are onboard a tankship during the final stages of loading number two fuel oil. Regulations require that your cargo tanks have installed high level and tank overfill alarms. At what point must the high level alarm activate?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D: At 95% of tank capacity or higher but less that the setting of the overfill alarm.
The reasoning for this is that regulations require cargo tanks on tankships to have high level alarms that activate at 95% of tank capacity or higher, but lower than the setting of the overfill alarm. This ensures there is a warning prior to the overfill alarm activating at the maximum safe filling level.
The other options are incorrect because A) 95% is the minimum, not the maximum, B) 99% is too high, and C) 90% is too low for the high level alarm activation point.
