11 questions in RISQ 3.2 · Only for: Oil-fuelled ships

• Keep a current bunkering plan, tank capacities and sounding tables ready so figures can be checked against what is on board.
• Show that fuel changeover procedures are written, practised and logged with times, positions and tank contents.
• Look after drip trays and save-alls around fuel pumps, purifiers and filters, as leaks there are easy to spot on a walk-round.

• Keep the fuel changeover log complete with times, positions and tank volumes
• Confirm fuel tank quick-closing valves are marked, free to move and recently tested
• Hold the latest fuel analysis reports and record action taken on any off-spec result
