When selecting the fuel oil tanks for the "burn-out" of bunkers during a voyage consideration of all of the following must be taken with the EXCEPTION of _______________.

A flashpoint
B list
C stability
D trim
AI Explanation

The correct answer is A) flashpoint. When burning out bunkers during a voyage, the selection of fuel oil tanks must consider the list, stability, and trim of the vessel, as these factors can impact the vessel's seaworthiness and safety. However, the flashpoint of the fuel is not a critical factor in this process, as the fuel is already on board and being consumed. The flashpoint is more relevant when bunkering and storing fuel, but not during the burn-out procedure itself. The other options (B, C, and D) are all important considerations when selecting fuel oil tanks for burning out bunkers, as they can affect the vessel's overall stability and handling characteristics.
