Question 391General Subjects - 1st Asst/Chief
70% to passConsider the following training objective for a training session designed for training your crew how to pump bilges: "Using the engine room bilge system of the M/V Underway where a bilge pocket requires pumping out and the automated bilge pumping controls have been disabled, by the end of the training session the participants will be able to pump an engine room bilge pocket dry manually to the bilge water holding tank in conformance with the vessel's engine room bilge pumping procedure checklist. There shall be no violations of the domestic and international pollution prevention regulations." What role does the phrase "in conformance with the vessel's engine room bilge pumping procedure checklist" serve in the objective statement?
The correct answer is C) It states one of the standards of performance to be achieved. The phrase "in conformance with the vessel's engine room bilge pumping procedure checklist" specifies one of the standards or criteria that the participants must meet in order to successfully complete the training objective. It requires them to pump the bilge pocket in a way that adheres to the established procedures for the specific vessel, which is an important standard of performance. The other answer choices are not as accurate. Option A) is incorrect because the phrase does not specify an input condition, but rather a standard of performance. Option B) is incorrect because the phrase does not use action words to state the performance. Option D) is incorrect because the phrase does not state the single outcome, but rather one of the standards to achieve the outcome.
