The second AFFF Transfer System Station is positioned outboard of AFFF station 13 adjacent which line?

• A. AFT serving line
• B. FWD serving line
• C. AFT engine line
• D. Bridge serving line

Answer: (A)

Understanding how AFFF transfer stations connect to service lines on a ship helps you place them correctly. Outboard means toward the ship’s side away from the centerline, and adjacent means directly next to the referenced point. The aft-serving line runs along the aft (rear) side of the vessel to feed stations in that area. Since the second AFFF transfer station is outboard of station 13 and sits on the aft side, it is fed by the AFT serving line. The forward-serving line, the AFT engine line, and the Bridge serving line supply other areas (forward sections, engine rooms, and the bridge, respectively) and do not align with this aft-positioned station. So the line adjacent to that station is the aft serving line.
