As fuel is consumed, shipsmay ballast with seawater to maintain their stability andliquid-protection characteristics. Prior to each replenishment,ships normally must deballast and redistributethe remaining fuel. Receiving ships will:1. Commence deballasting at such a time that completionwill coincide as nearly as practicable withthe scheduled time for fuel transfer. However,during heavy weather, a ship must not deballast tosuch an extent that stability is endangered. Complywith deballasting instructions in the ship’sDamage Control/Casualty Control Book.2. Distribute fuel so that all stations will completefuel transfer at the same time.3. Inform the OTC of any conditions that may affectthe planned fueling schedule.3.6.2 Delivery Ships. Delivery ships will:1. Ballast/deballast, strip tanks, and distribute fuel toensure proper trim and maximum pumping rates.2. Promulgate fueling plans showing tanks, valves,and pump lineup to be used.3. Test pumps, winches, and other equipment.4.
