Indeed, you generally talk about discharge of oil if you are discussing a flow diagram or something technical (from one piece of equipment to another) and you would not use it to refer to a transfer point place such as an unloading facility. It would sound like an oil spill and send bad signals.

BTW, I meant to say, to my ears and mind "discharge" makes me think of oil spills:)

Sorry Liz, my mistake! I'm in doubt, do you unload or discharge crude oil?

May I ask what this has to do with a secondary school?
