When discharging dirty ballast from an oil tanker at a high flow rate with main cargo
pumps, the limiting factor on permitted overboard discharge is the instantaneous rate of
discharge of oil. Which of the following formulae is used to calculate this rate?
Selected answer:
Instantaneous rate of discharge (l/h) = oil content (ppm) x flow rate (l/h) / speed (knots)
x 10,000 Correct answer:
Instantaneous rate of discharge (l/nm) = oil content (ppm) x flow rate (m3/h) / speed
(knots) x 1,000
Selected answer:
Correct answer:
