What do you call the dividers inside a tank that seal its compartments off from one another so that no liquid can pass between them?
Correct answer: Bulkheads.
Answer options

- BBulkheads Correct

A bulkhead is a sealed wall between compartments, so cargo in one section cannot reach the next. Baffles are different because they have holes that let some of the liquid move through.
