Task 1. Complete the tables with the pictures and definitions of each term.

No Name Picture Definition

1 Fender a fender is a bumper used to absorb

the kinetic energy of a boat or vessel
berthing against a jetty, quay wall or
other vessel

2 Drain Drain is a liquid disposal device that aims

to be a liquid disposal channel on vessel

3 SOPEP This SOPEP is a procedure for handling

oil spills at sea, and the equipment for
handling oil spills at sea is commonly
called the Marine Spill Kit.

4 Ullage Ullage is the perpendicular distance

measured from the surface of the liquid
to the surface of the tank. Ullage
functions Knowing Innage, Gaining
Volume, As a fluid expansion chamber.
5 Tank
Overflow

6 Plug Plug is a tool used to clog or close holes

on the main deck so that spillage of
cargo/oil does not go directly to the sea.
There are different types of plugs, some
are in the form of rubber, some are in
the form of a faucet. Plug holes are only
closed when the ship is about to carry
out the loading or unloading process, in
normal circumstances the plug is always
left open so that water does not stagnate
on the main deck.

7 Scuppers The scupper is on the right or left side of

the ship's deck used for draining water to
the sea.

8 Oil spill An accidental release of oil into a body of

water, as from a tanker, offshore drilling
rig, or underwater pipeline, often
presenting a hazard to marine life and
the environment

9 VRP A vessel response plan (VRP) is a

document that outlines what the vessel
will do in the case of an offshore spill.
VRPs are required by the United States
Coast Guard for maritime operators that
are carrying certain quantities of
chemicals and/or refined petroleum
products.

10 Pumping the speed or rapidness of a fluid or gas

rate that flows through a channel or a vessel.
This rate is a means of measuring the
speed or velocity of liquid or gas that is
meant to flow from a particular channel,
pipe, or vessel. By determining how
much mass or volume of gas or liquid
 passes per unit time, scientists can
determine how deep the wells are to be
dug or appraised in order to reach the
reservoir.

11 Hoses A hose is a long, flexible pipe made of

rubber or plastic. Water is directed
through a hose in order to do things such
as put out fires, clean cars, or water
gardens.

12 Tank Checking the level of the fluid in a tank is

sounding considered as part of sounding process
on ship. The final sounding value of the
tank is the total quantity of fluid (oil,
bilge, sludge, or water) inside a ship’s
tank. The initial process is to first
measure the depth of the fluid from the
surface to the bottom of the tank by
using sounding tape.

13 Contingency Contingency planning is among the most

plan profoundly important safety elements of
any voyage. It entails devising several
alternative routes if, for any reason, the
vessel’s designated route cannot be
followed. Perhaps there is a medical
emergency aboard, a large disruption at
a destination port, adverse weather
along a planned route, or simple a
change of plans.

14 Alongside The position of a vessel when securely

moored on a berth in port. OR a phrase
referring to the side of a vessel: goods to
be delivered “alongside” are to be placed

be loaded aboard the vessel.
15 Bunker bunker samples can provide the
samples evidenced needed in order to resolve
claims. Therefore, masters should keep
bunker samples onboard because they
determine whether their quality comply
with Annex VI bunker sulphur limits. On
top of that, operators need to be aware
of the importance of bunker sampling,
ensuring that proper bunker sampling
procedures are followed during the
bunkering operation.

16 Drip tray A drip tray is a catchment area for drips

and minor spills. The function of a drip
tray is to allow maintenance on
equipment where there is a possibility of
residual liquids within the pipework and
equipment after isolation and drainage.
They are not designed to contain large
volumes of liquids.

17 Bunker the vessel (whether sea-going or not)

barge provided by the Bunker Supplier for the
purpose of supplying Bunkers to Ships or
receiving Ship-generated Waste from
Ship

18 Bunkering this checklist is also available for owners

checklist and operators of vessels, to assist them
with their specific bunkering operations.
 19 Topping off Attempting to pump additional gasoline
into a motor vehicle fuel tank after the
dispensing nozzle has shut off
automatically because the tank is full.

20 Bunker For transferring oil, sludge or cargo to

connections and from a ship

21 Oil Oil absorbents are materials that are

Task 2. Write about your unforgettable experience in the past!

Last week I was with my friend in the cafeteria. We enjoy the food and drinks that are there
together. At that time Mr. Rozhi was guarding the canteen. Because I was too busy with friends, I
accidentally ate food standing up. From a distance came the screams of Mr. Rozhi. He called me. I
realized that I had made the big mistake of eating standing up. I went to Mr. Rozhi. He immediately
showed a face so scary that it gave me goosebumps. He snapped at me until all eyes were on me.
But it was all my fault for eating standing up. Mr. Rozhi gave me a punishment in the form of walking
in a squat position and crouching. I accept and carry out the punishment sincerely and happily even
though many people saw the incident.
