While discharging a tanker, list can be controlled by _______________.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) using wing tanks near the longitudinal center, discharging as necessary.
When discharging a tanker, list can be controlled by using the wing tanks near the longitudinal center of the vessel and discharging from them as necessary. This allows the vessel to maintain stability and trim during the unloading process, preventing excessive list or trim that could compromise the safety of the operation.
The other options are incorrect because: A) using the after peak tank would not effectively control list, as the after peak tank is located too far aft; B) relying solely on shoreside personnel would not provide the necessary control over the vessel's stability; and D) using a center tank near the bow would not be as effective for controlling list as using the wing tanks near the longitudinal center.
