You have loaded a cargo of n-Propyl Acetate to all tanks. They are each loaded to around 98% capacity. You now have to clear the lines into the ship. What is the principal risk in this operation?
Unless lines are cleared working from aft towards forward, they will simply fill up again as other lines are cleared.
Unless carefully controlled, too much disturbance will be generated in the tanks and product will be forced up the vent risers, resulting in an overflow.
Unless the shore personnel are cooperative, they may cease blowing before you have had a chance to clear each one of the ship's lines.
Unless carefully controlled, cargo will gravitate from one tank to another.
