You are on a chemical tanker, where the duty officer usually controls the operation of the pumps and valves from a control room.
You are in radio contact with him. The ship has just started to discharge several grades of chemicals to shore. Suddenly, the jetty
man shouts across to you to "STOP". You would:


It is important to keep the cargo discharge going, so you will ask the duty officer to slow the pumps to minimum speed while you
find out what is happening.

the switch to prevent anyone else operating the switch. Advise your relief at the end of the watch.
