@thebridgeprep: Enclosed vs Confined Space | Ship Safety Orals Examiner: "What is the difference between an enclosed space and a confined space?" Answer: As per IMO Resolution A.1050(27), an Enclosed Space is a space with limited openings for entry and exit, inadequate ventilation, and not designed for continuous occupancy. Examples: cargo tanks, ballast tanks, void spaces. Confined Space is a general industry term. IMO uses "enclosed space" for ships. On land, confined space means any space large enough to enter, limited entry/exit, and not designed for continuous occupancy. Key difference: IMO and SOLAS use "enclosed space" for maritime. Same hazards apply: oxygen deficiency, toxic gases, flammable atmosphere. Entry requires permit, gas testing, ventilation, standby person, and BA set ready. This is MOCK interview for training. Based on IMO Res A.1050(27) and SOLAS XI-1/7. Follow for daily Deck Officer orals prep. #TheBridgePrep #MaritimeOrals #ShipSafety #DeckOfficer #MerchantNavy
