Show the answer

Correct answer: c) Leaking.

Why it is correct

The IMO SMCP General Glossary defines 'Leaking' verbatim as the escape of liquids such as water, oil, etc., out of pipes, boilers, tanks, etc., or a minor inflow of seawater into the vessel due to damage to the hull.

Why the others are not

a) 'Scape' is not the SMCP term.
b) 'Flooding' is defined in the SMCP as a major uncontrolled inflow of seawater into the vessel.
d) 'Leaving' means departing, not a liquid leak.

How to work it out in the exam

SMCP: escape of liquids from pipes/tanks or minor seawater inflow = 'Leaking'.
