What would you check?
Think of your answer first, then reveal the explanation and explore the lesson.
ENV-01Below 15 ppm while anchored in port: may we discharge?
The display is not permission. Do not discharge without verifying en-route and local port requirements.
Explore the full topic →ENV-05Fuel is 0.10%, but SCR has failed.
SOx compliance is not NOx compliance; assess failure/applicability separately.
Explore the full topic →CAR-04One D year: has the three-D trigger occurred?
No. Check consecutive history and E separately; still monitor deviations.
Explore the full topic →NAV-03Summer-compliant departure; Winter applies mid-voyage.
Calculate draught at the boundary/date against the assigned Winter limit.
