On tankers ullages are measured from what point?
Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation
Correct Answer: Option A — an above-deck datum such as the top of the ullage pipe
Ullage is the distance from the surface of the liquid to a fixed reference point above the liquid, known as the ullage datum. This datum is typically the top of the ullage pipe or a specific gauging point on the deck, ensuring consistent measurements regardless of the tank's internal structure.
