Blikely to over pressurize the cargo tanks
Clikely to overheat the deck water seal
Dhighly recommended
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) Excessive recirculation of inert gas is undesirable and it may lead to high oxygen content of the inert gas. Explanation: The purpose of the inert gas system on tankers is to maintain a low-oxygen atmosphere in the cargo tanks to prevent the risk of explosions. Excessive recirculation of the inert gas can lead to the oxygen content in the inert gas increasing, which is undesirable as it defeats the purpose of the inert gas system. High oxygen levels in the inert gas can create an explosive atmosphere in the cargo tanks. The other options are incorrect as they do not accurately describe the main issue with excessive inert gas recirculation.
