A reefer vessel is to load a cargo of plantains and bananas. Due to space restrictions both have to be loaded into a common space. The usual delivery temperature for bananas is about 13 degrees Celsius and for plantains it is 7 degree Celsius. What would be the best delivery temperature for the mixture of these two fruits?
Adjust the set point of the delivery temperature to 7 C for 12 hour periods and 13 C for the intervening 12 hour periods.
7 C as plantains are more sensitive to the higher delivery temperature of the bananas.
10 C as this is the mean temperature of the two cargoes and they would both carry satisfactorily at this temperature.
13 C as plantains are less sensitive to the consequences of a higher delivery temperature.

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 stability precautions should be taken when loading heavy cargo on a conventional general cargo vessel?

Stow the cargo in the lower hold and keep the Centre of Gravity low and have a large positive GM
Stow some of the cargo in the Tween deck space to raise the Centre of gravity and reduce the effective GM
The lashings should be adequate for the weight of the cargo
A refrigeration plant is short cycling even though there is plenty of refrigerant in the system and all of the rooms are above temperature. From the options give select the one which is the most likely cause of the problem?
