Engine General (Supplementary) USCG Question #118 (Set 3)

In what application is an emergency shutdown most likely to be located outside the machinery space when the pump itself is located within the machinery space?

Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option A — Fuel oil transfer pump

46 CFR requires remote emergency shutdowns for fuel oil transfer pumps to be located outside the machinery space. This ensures that in the event of a fire or fuel leak within the engine room, the fuel supply can be isolated from a safe, accessible location to prevent further hazard.
