FUELING MEMORANDUM

data, which is then checked by his leading petty officer and division officer. The record is then submitted to the engineer officer for his approval and signature. The daily water account is also a source if information that is included in reports to higher authority. FUELING MEMORANDUM The engineer officer uses a Fueling Memorandum (fig. 2-9) to inform interested parties whenever fuel oil or diesel oil is received or delivered. Those interested parties include the commanding officer, the OOD, the supply officer, and any others concerned, including the ship being refueled when that is the case. LIQUID LOAD PLAN The Liquid Load Plan of the ship is a printed or locally prepared diagrammatic layout of all the ship’s tanks, with each colored to show graphically the approximate status of fuel, ballast water, reserve feedwater, and potable water. The oil king prepares and distributes the plan daily. Copies serve as important aids to the damage control watch officer, engineer officer, and EOOW. In large ships, a copy of the plan may be posted at each repair party control station to provide information to the repair party officers. BOAT FUELING RECORD The Boat Fueling Record is a locally prepared, daily record of the boat fueling. It is indispensable for ships carrying or maintaining a large number of boats. All operating boats should be fueled daily before 0800 to prevent fueling at unusual hours and to ensure readiness for unscheduled calls. The record for each boat should indicate (1) the boat number, (2) the fuel capacity in gallons, (3) the fuel on hand, (4) the approximate fuel consumption in gallons per hour, and (5) whether or not the boat was fueled to capacity.
