| One is informed by the owner that two of the vessel's electrically driven centrifugal cooling water pumps will be replaced with two of higher capacity pumps. No modification of existing piping will be involved. What should be your concerns from an operational perspective? |
| A) Upgrading of circuit breakers and controllers and possible increased erosion of discharge piping due to increased system velocities. |
| B) Piping should be of no concern since it is designed with a safety factor. Electrical power should be of concern. |
| C) Electrical power should be of no concern due to safety margins designed into power systems. Increased erosion may be a long term consideration. |
| D) One should not be concerned operationally since all systems are designed with future modifications/upgrades in mind. |
