You are on a tankship discharging oil. what happens to the remaining oil when all of the oil that the main cargo pumps can handle is pumped out of a tank?
Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation
Correct Answer: Option C — the remainder is stripped to one tank and then pumped out with the main pumps
Efficient tank stripping requires consolidating remaining unpumped liquid from multiple tanks into a single tank. The stripping system then draws from this central collection point to ensure complete evacuation of the cargo system.
