Question: What should be first attempted if compliant fuel is unavailable?

• 
  The sea temperature cannot be below 5ºC
  
• 
  Vessel is not in a HRA
  
• 
  Vessel is far from the shore and other traffic
  
• 
  The seawater relative density cannot be less than 1.025 Kg/m³
  

Can port state control take any of the fuel samples that have been stored on board from the last bunker call? (Ref I.S 20a 6.1)

• 
  They can take any sample except for the MARPOL sample, which needs to be retained on board at all times for one year or until the fuel stem is used up (whichever is longer)
  
• 
  Yes Port state control can select any sample to take for analysis
  
• 
  No but they can take their own
  
• 
  They can take the MARPOL sample for analysis, provided they supply a receipt

When can actions be entered into the Record of Actions Taken in the SIP

• 
  Before January 1st 2020.
  
• 
  After January 1st 2020.
  
• 
  Any time any work is carried out on the fuel tanks.
  
• 
  Every time you change fuels / blends needs to be recorded.
  

• 
  No
  
• 
  Yes
  

• 
  New fuel has less sulphur so creates less sulphuric acid during combustion - the Bn of lube oil should be lower
  
• 
  The increased cat fines in the fuel mean a thicker lube oil is needed to remove them
  
• 
  There is no difference that the new fuel will have on lube oil
  
• 
  New fuel has more sulphur so creates more sulphuric acid during combustion - the Bn of lube oil should be higher
  

• 
  Until the next PSC inspection
  
• 
  FONAR is created by the Office not the ship, evidence does not need to be retained on board
  
• 
  36 months
  
• 
  12 months
  

What does the term 0.50% refer to in relation to IMO 2020? ( PowerPoint & Ref S.I 20a)

• 
  New blends of fuel cannot contain more than 0.50% HSFO
  
• 
  Fuel cannot have more than 0.50% of its mass containing sulphur (i.e max 5kg sulphur content in 1000Kg bunkered)
  
• 
  Ships can only bunker 0.50% of their tank capacities
  
• 
  Exhaust gases cannot contain more than 0.50% sulphur
  

Which of the following best describes a Wet Scrubber system as used on board Zodiac vessels? (Ref S.I 20b 3.0)

• 
  A System that combines exhaust gasses with an acidic liquid (usually Oxalic acid) in order to create sulphuric acid which is then discharged overboard
  
• 
  A system of large brushes the exhaust gasses pass that remove particles
  
• 
  A ‘wet scrubber’ is a device installed in the exhaust system after the engine or boiler that treats exhaust gas with a liquid (usually seawater), with the goal of removing most of the sulphur oxides (SOx) from the exhaust and reducing particulate matters (PM)
  
• 
  A system of electrodes in the fuel tanks that react out the sulphur in the fuel
  

• 
  Previous fuel type / grade in tank.
  
• 
  Compatibility with previous grade.
  
• 
  Heating requirements.
  
• 
  What ratio will the new fuel be mixed with the old fuel.
  

• 
  The lowest temperature at which a fuel will be able to flow through a specified filter
  
• 
  An access point where the cold filter can be cleaned of any material plugging it
  
• 
  The highest temperature at which a fuel can pass through a cold filter without causing damage
  
• 
  A known area in the ships piping where fuel residue compiles and blocks fuel from flowing to the cold filter
  

• 
  Different densities require different sized gravity discs to clean the fuel - if a classic separator is being used
  
• 
  The density does not matter
  
• 
  Different densities will cause different loads on fuel pumps
  
• 
  Fuels of different densities will have different weights for the same volume and subsequently affect the stability of the vessel
