When discharging a tanker, how can list be controlled?
Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation
Correct Answer: Option A — by using wing tanks near the longitudinal center, discharging as necessary
List control during discharge is managed by selectively discharging cargo from wing tanks located near the vessel's longitudinal center. By adjusting the discharge rate from port or starboard wing tanks, the officer can maintain the vessel on an even keel, ensuring structural integrity and safe cargo operations.
