Deck General USCG Question #1284 (Set 40)

What happens to steam that is produced by gas burning in excess of machinery plant demand?

Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option D — dumped to a condenser

On liquefied gas carriers utilizing boil-off gas for fuel, steam generated in excess of propulsion or auxiliary machinery demand is directed to a steam dump condenser. This closed-loop thermal management system prevents atmospheric venting and conserves high-purity boiler feedwater.
