What is the required gas supply capacity of an inert gas system?

A 125% of shore side loading rate
B 125% of cargo pump capacity
C 125% of forced draft rate
D 125% of fan capacity
AI Explanation

The correct answer is B) 125% of cargo pump capacity. The required gas supply capacity of an inert gas system is typically 125% of the cargo pump capacity. This is to ensure that the inert gas system can adequately maintain the inert gas atmosphere in the cargo tanks, even when the cargo pumps are operating at their maximum capacity. The other options are not directly related to the gas supply capacity requirement for an inert gas system.
