Question 1383Deck General70% to pass
While discharging a cargo, the stripping of the tanks falls behind schedule. What does this indicate?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) main pumps are leaving too much oil in the tanks.
When the stripping of the tanks falls behind schedule during cargo discharge, it indicates that the main pumps are not effectively removing all the oil from the tanks. This means the main pumps are leaving too much residual oil behind, which then needs to be removed by the slower stripping process. The other options are incorrect because they do not directly address the issue of insufficient removal of oil by the main pumps.
