In discussing segregation, the IMDG Code defines what it means by the term "separated from". Which of the following is that definition?
Either in a vertical or horizontal separation: if the intervening decks are not resistant to fire and liquid, then only in a longitudinal separation is acceptable. For "on deck" stowage, this means a distance of at least 12 metres. This distance also applies to one package stowed "on deck" and another in an upper compartment.
With an intervening compartment, being both a vertical and horizontal separation. Provided an intervening deck is resistant to liquid and fire, a vertical separation of 6 metres is acceptable. For "on deck" stowage, this segregation means a distance of at least 12 metres irrespective of compartment divisions.

If left-over cooked meat is to be re-used in another meal, which of the following precautions must be taken?
The meat must be fine chopped to ensure it re-heats to at least 70 degrees Celsius as quickly as possible; it must not be mixed with newly preared raw meat; the dish in which it is used must only be heated once.
The meat can be directly added to another dish and musdt be re-heated to the temperature required by the new recipe; it can then be re-heated for further servings provided it is refrigerated in between.
The cooked meat must have been refrigerated until required; it can be taken out, chopped and mixed thoroughly with newly cooked ingredients, to ensure it is adequately re-heated. If it cools before serving, it can be warmed through on a hot plate or under a heat lamp.
The meat must be sliced to a thickness of less than 5 mm to ensure it re-heats to at least 50 degrees Celsius during cooking; it can only be layered with other previously cooked ingredients; the dish in which it is used can be re-heated again, provided it is refrigerated between each serving.

After clearing lines following the loading of cargoes such as Naphthas, Xylene, Toluene, Benzene, White Spirits and Kerosenes, it is necessary to wait for a specified period before taking manual ullages or samples. Why is this?
These are all "static accumulator" cargoes. As a cargo line is blown, electrostatically charged bubbles enter the tank and rise through the cargo, generating a high voltage at the surface. It is necessary to wait for a specified period of "relaxation time", to allow the charge to disperse, before introducing any potentially conductive object.
These are all cargoes which may form a wax on the surface of the cargo. As a cargo line is blown, bubbles enter the tank and rise through the cargo. If exposed to cold air as they reach the surface, a wax "carpet" may form across the whole tank. It is necessary to wait for a period of "levelling time" before allowing any air to enter the tank and taking any manual ullages or samples.
These are all cargoes with a high vapour pressure. As a cargo line is blown, the pressure in the ullage space above the surface of the cargo increases. It is necessary to wait for a period of "settling time", before opening the tank lids for sampling and gauging.
These are all cargoes considered to have high noxious vapour levels. As a cargo line is blown, the surface inside the tank is severely disturbed, releasing large quantities of these vapours. It is necessary to wait for a period of "adjusting time", before carrying out any open sampling or gauging.
What name is given to the part of the discharging operation on an oil tanker when the last remaining contents of a tank or line are being pumped out?
