12nm, 25m, under water line through aproved outlet line
- Cat Z : same as above
17. Prewash requirements for Cat X, Y, Z & exemptions.
Cat X, Cat Y solidifying, high viscosity
Heating required by Marpol Annex II
Category Y, high Viscosity and solidifying cargoes may require prewash, if not
heated. These cargoes do not require a prewash if the following is complied with:
Category Y Cargoes with a melting point less than 15°C.
Discharge temperature should be at least 5°C. above melting point of the product.
Example: Benzene with a melting point of 4.5°C. should be discharged with a
temperature of at least 9.5°C. to avoid the prewash requirements.
Category Y Cargoes with a melting point above 15°C.
Discharge temperature must be at least 10°C. above melting point of the cargo.
Example: Phenol, with a melting point of 40.9°C. should be discharged with a
temperature of at least 51°C. in order to be considered not solidifying.
Category Y Cargoes with Viscosity < 50mpa at discharge temperature

- Limit of quantity
 24. Discharging standards for annex 5 ( in/ out side special areas).
- Food waste
25. SIRE & CDI differences.
- CDI (chemical distribution institute) : report provide a score of inspected vsl, high
score indicates vsl compliant with industry standard, 12 months
- Sire : Carried out by oil companies that are member of OCIMF or their
commissioned parties. Report of the inspections are maintained on OCIMF
database for their members access
26. Preparations of vessel for CDI inspection.
27. New regulations of MEG4 for mooring.
- MSMP, LMP
- MBL term -> Ship MBL & line design break force
28. How to test the mooring winch (BHC, rendering).
- Caculate the required pressure on hydraulic jack (60% of LDBF)
- Connect the winch to test equipment
- Fully tight the break lever
- Apply pressure to hydraulic jack
- When pressure gauge reading reach the required pressure, slowly release the
break lever until winch start moving

30. Primary venting & secondary venting (Setting pressure in Non- inert, Inerted, Vapor
return line).
- Primary venting : PV valves (200 kpa/ - 3.5 kpa)
- Secondary : pressure sensors in each tank and cargo monitoring sys and alarm sys
in ccr (non-inert :220 kpa/-3.8kpa; inert : 220 kpa/1kpa; vapor return line :
pressure 90% pv v/v, vacuum :inert 1.0 kpa, non-inert :-3.8 kpa)
31. Hydraulic jockey pump purposes.
- Maintain possitive pressure in hydraulic sys in order to prevent hydraulic oil from
contaminated by cargo
- Prevent cargo pump from ingress of cargo
- Recirculate hyd. Oil so that seperate air from oil
32. Purging cofferdam of Framo pump instructions.
- Shortly before loading
- 1-2 day after loading : if leakage found, purge this pump every day
- Shortly b4 disch
- Shortly after disch
- For long voyage, if no leakage found after loading, purge at least every fortnight
(14 days)
- Check cofferdam open or blocked
- Record quantity of leakage (cargo, Hydraulic oil, water condensate)
- Evaluate the result : - for cargo 0,5ltr/day is normal, 2 ltr /day pump should be
purge a couple of times daily and inspected for reason of leakage./// for hydraulic
 oil: 0,25ltr/day is normal, higher is abnormal, pump should be inspected for
reason of leakage.
33. Safety parameters on ECDIS ( how to set on ECDIS).
- Shallow contour= ship draft
- Safety contour = draft + ukc + squat - Ht
- Safety depth = draft + ukc + squat - Ht

- Look ahead > 3 nm
34. Which notices when passing the safety contour.
- Keep caution, keep vsl well clear of safety depth
- Check depth on echo sounder
- Monitor vessel position continuosly
35. Scamin, Catzoc .
- Scamin (scale minimm) : filter function of ecdis, will disappear some information
which is considered as not important while user zoom in order to reduce the
clutters on display
