70% to pass

U.S. regulations require an emergency means of stopping the flow of oil or LNG during transfer operations. The emergency means may be which of the following?

A self-closing automatic disconnect fitting
B manually-operated quick-closing valve
C emergency pump control on the cargo deck
D automatic pressure-sensitive oil flow regulator
AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) emergency pump control on the cargo deck. U.S. regulations require an emergency means of stopping the flow of oil or LNG during transfer operations. The emergency means is typically an emergency pump control located on the cargo deck, which allows the operator to quickly shut off the pump and stop the flow in case of an emergency. The other options are not the correct emergency means specified in the regulations. A self-closing automatic disconnect fitting or a manually-operated quick-closing valve may be used, but they are not the required emergency pump control. An automatic pressure-sensitive oil flow regulator is a separate safety device, not the emergency means to stop the flow.
