What is the port fuel capacity in engine room #1?

• A. 18,000 gal
• B. 22,000 gal
• C. 20,000 gal
• D. 24,000 gal

Answer: (B)

Fuel capacity for a specific engine room is the total volume of all tanks assigned to that space, on the port side in this case. This figure comes from the ship’s fuel system drawings and documentation, representing how much fuel can be stored there without overfilling or compromising balance.

For engine room #1, the port side capacity is 22,000 gallons, the sum of all port tanks in that room. This value is used for planning endurance, refueling, and fuel transfers, and to ensure the system operates within its designed limits. The other numbers wouldn’t fit the actual tank configuration shown in the ship’s documentation, as they would imply different tank sizes or arrangements.
