towards their lowest possible energy state, resulting in the degradation of
that material?

A. Corrosion C. Iron Oxide

B. Smelting & Refining D. Air & Moisture Corrode Steel
2. Preventing corrosion requires elimination or suppression using two
principal methods. What are these two methods?

A. Side shell frames C. Cathodic Protection & Coatings

B. Air & Moisture Corrode Steel D. Ships Corrosion
3. This is applied in the opposite Direction to cancel out the corrosion
current and convert the corroding metal from anode to cathode.

A. Cathodic Protection C. Impressed Current Systems

B. Electro Chemical Reaction D. Coatings
4. The Effectiveness of ________ preventing corrosion depends on many
factors, for example, coating type, end-use of coating, and vessel
operating environment.

A. SOLAS C. Hopper Tank

B. Coatings D. Corrosion
5. What is the primary cause of corrosion due to an effect known
________?

A. Deterioration C. Galvanic Corrosion

B. Iron Oxide D. Electro chemical reaction
6. This occurs when heavy bulk cargo is allowed to free fall from height
onto the tank tops.

A. Cargo Damage C. Equipment Damage

B. Corrosive Cargo D. Seawater Corrosion
7. A number of bulk cargoes that contain chemicals of a corrosive
nature, and this is particularly the case of newly mined coal.

A. Equipment Damage C. Seawater Corrosion

B. Cargo Damage D. Corrosive Cargoes
8. This not only causes material damage to the ship’s structure, but can
also break down paint coatings exposing the base steel to the
atmosphere.

A. Seawater Corrosion C. Corrosive Cargoes

B. Equipment Damage D. Corrosion
9. What takes place in the ballast tank, in majority of cases?

A. Coatings C. Cargo Damage

B. Cathodic Protection D. Sea water corrosion
10. This is the weakening of steel in a structure due to constant flexing,
under the repeated cycles of stress that may result in structural fatigue
failure.

A. Galvanic Corrosion C. Metal Fatigue

B. Corrosion D. Corrosive Damage
11. What particular become progressively weaker due to continuous
corrosion?

A. Bulk Carriers C. Container Ship

B. General Cargo Ships D. Oil Tankers
12. What is used in all areas that is likely to experience high levels of
stress?

A. Metal Steel C. Alloy Steel

B. Carbon Steel D. High tensile steel
13. This is caused by water ingress or moisture in the cargo, and can
cause cargo shift during the voyage?

A. Movement of ballast water C. Liquefaction of cargoes

B. Corrosion D. Crack
14. Movement of ballast water in partly filled ballast water tanks or
holds can cause _______ and _________?

A. Smelting and Refining C. Atmospheric Corrosion and Fretting

B. Damage and Create Corrosion D. Corrosion and Fatigue
15. Ships are primarily exposed to ____________, caused by a
combination of high moisture and salt-laden sea spray.

A. Atmospheric Corrosion C. Pitting Corrosion

B. Fretting Corrosion D. Cavitation Corrosion
16. This is caused by the repeated relative surface motion between
loaded metal surfaces, typically induced by vibration (caused by
machinery) and structural flexing (caused by sea currents and wind).

A. Pitting Corrosion C. Fretting Corrosion

B. Cavitation Corrosion D. Atmospheric Corrosion
17. This is caused by certain types of marine bacteria, which sticks to
the hull or accumulate in crevices.

A. Microbial Corrosion C. Cavitation Corrosion

B. Fretting Corrosion D. Atmospheric Corrosion

18. What is the principal part of the ship that is vulnerable to corrosion,
which are exposed to the elements 24 hours a day?

A. Navigation Bridge C. Hull & Superstructure

B. Engine D. Galley
19. This are used to change the weight distribution of the ship, or to
change its draft, in order to optimize stability.

A. Hopper Tanks C. Top side tanks

B. Double Bottom Tanks D. Ballast Tanks
20. What is storage tanks in tankers are vulnerable to “sweet” and
“sour” corrosion?

A. Oil storage tanks C. Bunker Tanks

B. LNG tanks D. Pressure tanks
