Which is a responsibility of the FOQM manager?

• A. Oversees deck operations
• B. Primary supervisor of fuel quality
• C. Maintains safety equipment
• D. Coordinates culinary services

Answer: (B)

The main idea here is who is in charge of ensuring fuel meets required standards. The FOQM manager is the person who leads the fuel quality program, overseeing how fuel is sampled, tested, and verified, and making sure all results are properly documented and acted upon. This role coordinates with labs and suppliers, interprets test results, and implements corrective actions when fuel falls outside specifications. Because these responsibilities revolve directly around maintaining and supervising fuel quality, this is the best fit for the FOQM manager.

Other duties described belong to different areas: deck operations are handled by the deck department, maintaining safety equipment is the job of safety/engineering support, and coordinating culinary services is the responsibility of the galley/food service team.
