Question 10 Remove Topic Question Text What does reference temperature mean in the loading limit calculation? Explanation Reference temperature links allowable filling to the pressure relief valve setting and cargo vapour pressure behaviour. Option 1 Remove Option 2 Remove Option 3 Remove Option 4 Remove Add Option
Question 11 Remove Topic Question Text Why are cargo tank levels staggered before final topping off? Explanation Staggering levels gives operators better control and reduces the risk of overfilling several tanks at once. Option 1 Remove Option 2 Remove Option 3 Remove Option 4 Remove Add Option
Question 12 Remove Topic Question Text Why should reliquefaction plant suction normally be stopped before topping off? Explanation Stopping suction reduces surface disturbance and helps obtain a more reliable final level. Option 1 Remove Option 2 Remove Option 3 Remove Option 4 Remove Add Option
Question 13 Remove Topic Question Text Why is one filling valve often left open after loading is completed? Explanation Leaving an appropriate path open helps avoid pressure build-up from trapped liquid warming up. Option 1 Remove Option 2 Remove Option 3 Remove Option 4 Remove Add Option

Question 18 Remove Topic Question Text After filling the shaft seal system, what pressure should be maintained relative to tank pressure? Explanation Keeping sealing oil above cargo tank pressure prevents cargo leakage past the seal. Option 1 Remove Option 2 Remove Option 3 Remove Option 4 Remove Add Option
Question 19 Remove Topic Question Text At the start of cargo pump operation, how much should the discharge valve initially be opened? Explanation A slightly open discharge valve helps control start-up and avoid unstable pump operation. Option 1 Remove Option 2 Remove Option 3 Remove Option 4 Remove Add Option
Question 20 Remove Topic Question Text When liquid height falls below about 2 meters, what action helps reduce cavitation risk? Explanation Reducing the discharge rate helps protect suction conditions and prevent cavitation as NPSH falls. Option 1 Remove Option 2 Remove Option 3 Remove Option 4 Remove Add Option
