Self Assessment Midterm

Sacrificial anodes in ballast tanks are effective because:

• They corrode first, protecting other metal

• They lower air temperature

• They improve electrical insulation

• They absorb moisture

How can real-time reporting during transfer help prevent accidents?

• By identifying hazards and enabling immediate corrective actions

• By ensuring that personnel are not required to follow strict protocols

• By reducing the speed of the cargo transfer process

• By limiting the need for emergency procedures

Galvanic corrosion is the process where:

• Both metals corrode at the same rate

• Oxidative corrosion is minimized

• The more reactive metal corrodes faster

• Temperature changes impact corrosion speed

When anti-corrosion coating peels in a ballast tank, you should:

• Remove all coatings

• Reinspect in the next cycle

• Schedule reapplication

• Add more salt for insulation

How might inadequate ventilation increase the risk of transporting hazardous goods?

• It could lead to buildup of toxic gases

• It would improve ship speed with the wind

• It would increase cargo capacity and weight distribution

• It would reduce the risk of cargo spillage

A cargo transfer procedure involves heavy cargo. Why is weight distribution essential for structural integrity?

• To enable free cargo movement

• To increase overall humidity

• To prevent concentrated stress areas

• To allow more space in the hold

If Class 6 toxic substances are near living quarters, the main risk is:

• Lower fuel consumption

• Crew endangerment

• Faster unloading

• Improved ship speed

How does the IMSBC Code contribute to maintaining vessel stability?

• By restricting the types of cargo that can be carried

• By limiting the amount of fuel used

• By specifying the maximum number of crew members onboard

• By ensuring proper load distribution and balance

Drainage systems are installed in certain areas of a ship. What role do they play in preventing corrosion?

• By reducing water stagnation and build-up

• By storing water for ballast

• By enhancing metal surface strength

• By increasing water collection

What does the placard for flammable liquids (Class 3) look like?

• Yellow with a biohazard symbol

• Black with a skull symbol

• Red with a flame symbol

• Green with a gas cylinder symbol
