 TANK CLEANING OPERATION
1. PLANNING / TANK CLEANING RISK MANAGEMENT
All tank cleaning operations must be carefully planned and documented and many factors needs to be taken into consideration by both office- and vessel staff in order to achieve the desired
cleanliness of the cargo tanks for the next cargo. Prior to commencement of any tank cleaning operation, an adequate planning of the operation must consequently be made by the Shipboard
Management.

Potential hazards relating to the planned tank cleaning operations must be systematically identified, the risk assessed and appropriate preventive measures put in place in order to reduce the
risk to as low as reasonable practicable.

It should be remembered, during planning the tank cleaning operation, that the prime risk is fire or explosion arising from simultaneous presence of a flammable atmosphere and a source of
ignition. The focus must therefore be to eliminate one or more of the hazards that contribute to that risk, namely the sides of the fire triangle of air/oxygen, ignition sources and fuel, that is to say
flammable vapours.

The planning of cleaning the cargo tanks should actually be kept in mind even before the the vessel loads its present cargo, mostly in order to avoid any potential adverse effects from adjacent
cargoes - if any.

An efficient preparation for the tank cleaning operation will also avoid unpleasant incidents during the following tank cleaning operation and hopefully avoid cargo tanks to be rejected at the
vessel's arrival to the next loadport.

The extent of the tank cleaning operation required can always be determined from the product properties of the product (oil, chemical or veg. oil) to be cleaned from, the surrounding conditions,
the available tank cleaning equipment and last, but not least, the requirements of the product to be loaded at next port of loading.

A pre-planning meeting with participation of all the shipboard personnel about to be involved in the operation must therefore always be conducted whenever tank cleaning instructions are being
received from the Operational Department. The availability and condition of equipment to be used, the actual cleaning procedures, the expected time or duration of the cleaning process, the
gasfreeing and manual tank preparation, the status and readiness of boiler, I.G. plant, pumps, heater and the crew requirements must be a fixed part of the agenda on the pre-planning
meeting.

It must be determined whether the vessel can clean the tanks in accordance with this tank cleaning matrix or whether additional advise from the Company is needed.

Particular attention must be paid to relevant Company procedures and to the procedures and guidelines laid down in the 'International Safety Guide for Oil Tankers & Terminals' (ISGOTT)
Chapter 11.3 'Tank Cleaning'.

All personnel involved in the preparation / tank cleaning operation on board must use the personnel protective equipment required by the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) of the previous
cargo on board and as described in ISGOTT and Company procedures.

It must be made strictly clear that no crew member or other personnel may enter any cargo tank unless permission to do so have been granted by the Chief Officer and that all appropriate
precautions have been taken and that a safe entry permit have been issued.
The requirements from the manufacturers’ tank coating resistance list, cargo pumping equipment (stainless steel) and heating coils (if any) must be followed with respect to washing water
temperature, cleaning chemical / solvent resistance, ventilation, fresh water rinsing, etc.

Washing in inerted cargo tank atmosphere is the method that provides the lowest risk. The inerted condition provides for no ambiguity; to be deemed inerted, the cargo tank MUST have an
oxygen content in the tank atmosphere which is at a level that cannot support a combustion.

Failure to prove through direct measurement that the cargo tank is inerted means, by default, that the cargo tank SHALL be considered to be in the non-inerted condition.

In the event that the vessel, for one reason or another, do not have access to inert gas, either through defect I.G. plant on board or lack of supply from shore, it is only possible to address the
'fuel' and the 'sources of ignition' sides of the fire triangle. The cargo tanks must therefore be considered to be in a non-inerted condition and there is no physical barriers that will ensure the
Shipboard Management an elimination of these two hazards individually. Therefore, the safety of a tank cleaning in the non-inerted condition depends solely on the integrity of equipment, and
the implementation of strict procedures in order to ensure that these two hazards are being effectively controlled.

Non-inert cargo tank washing must only be undetaken when the two sides of the fire triangle are being addressed by a combination of measures that control both the flammability of the cargo
tank atmosphere AND the sources of ignition, but nevertheles not being carried out before consultation with the Company.

2. SUPERVISION AND PREPARATION

The Chief Officer shall manage and supervise all tank cleaning operations in co-operation with the remaining members of the Shipboard Management.

All crew members involved in the tank cleaning operation must be fully briefed on the tank washing plans, and their roles and responsibilities prior to commencement of the operation.

All other personnel on board must also be notified that cargo tank cleaning is about to begin and this notification SHALL in particular be extended to those on board not being directly involved in
the operation but who, by virtue of their own concurrent tasks, may impact upon the safety of the tank cleaning operation.

Both before and during the tank cleaning operation, the Shipboard Management should be satisfied that all the appropriate precautions set out in the ISGOTT Chapter 11.3 are being observed.
In the event that any other vessel is tied up alongside, this vessel's personnel must also be notified and their compliance with all appropriate safety measures shall be confirmed.

Before starting up tank washing alongside a terminal, the following additional measures must be taken:
● Relevant precautions described in the ISGOTT Chapter 24;
● The appropriate shore personnel must be consulted to ascertain that conditions on the Terminal / Berth do not present a hazard;
● Obtaining agreement with shore personnel that the tank cleaning operation can commence.

It should be noted that the method of tank cleaning utilised on board is dependent on how the atmosphere in the cargo tanks are being managed and will be determined by the equipment fitted
to and available on board the particular vessel.
During all tank cleaning operations and especially when dealing with low flash type chemicals or solvents, extreme caution must always be exercised in ensuring that all equipment lowered into
the cargo tanks is properly bonded and there are no other sources of ignition present.

Hose couplings on portable tank cleaning hoses and tank cleaning machines must only be greased by conductive grease, never with regular grease. Stainless steel made t.c. equipment needs
not to be greased.

3. CARGO TANK ATMOSPHERE CONTROL

Inert Gas Operations:

The inert gas system including oxygen analyzer and alarm system must be fully operational during the tank cleaning operation. Main points such as the operational condition of blowers,
conditions of Scrubbers and Deck Seal Water Tank, operational conditions and calibration of oxygen analyzers and gas indicators including their filters, sensors, pipings (hoses), casing
integrity, flow indicators and batteries (for portable equipment), operational condition of each alarm systems, operational condition of regulating valves (manual and automatic), operational
condition of recirculation valves (or excess gas control valves) and operational conditions of cargo tank Pressure-Vacuum valves and PV-breakers must all be checked for operationallity.

Cargo tanks must always be kept in an intert condition at all times, except when it is necessary for the tanks to be gas free for inspection or work, i.e. the oxygen content shall be not more than
8% by volume and the atmosphere must be maintained at a positive pressure at all times (at least 200 mm W.G.).

Prior to commencement of the cleaning operation and every 60 minutes thereafter, the oxygen level within an inerted tank shall consequently be verified as less than the above mentioned 8%
by volume both at 1 meter below deck and at 50% of the tank depth.

It shall be ensured that the atmosphere within the cargo tank makes the transition from the inert condition to the gas free condition without passing through the flammable condition. In practice,
this means that, before any cargo tank is gas freed, it must be purged with inert gas until the hydrocarbon content of the cargo tank atmosphere is below the critical line (see line G-A in below
figure).
It should be noted that the composition of inert gas after an efficient scrubbing in the scrubbing tower will typical consist of 83% Nitrogen (N), 12-14% Carbon Dioxide (CO₂), 2-4% Oxygen
(O₂), abt. 50 ppm Sulphur Dioxide (SO₂), traces of Carbon Monoxide (CO), abt. 200 ppm Nitrogen Oxides (NOx), traces (high if not effectively dried) of Water Vapor (H₂O), traces of soot and
ash and the inert gas will have a density of abt. 1.044 (heavier than air).

In case that proper Inert Gas can not be supplied and which could cause the oxygen content in the cargo tanks to exceed 8% by volume, or making it difficult to keep the internal pressure of
cargo tanks positive due to troubles in the Inert Gas system or for other reasons during the tank cleaning operation or hydrocarbon gas purging operations, the tank cleaning operation must be
suspended immediately and must not be re-started until proper supply of the Inert Gas is secured.

On the understanding that the atmosphere in the cargo tanks is not under control, it shall be avoided to blow improper inert gas into the tanks (inert gas where the oxygen content exceeds 8%)

In the event that the recovery of the IG system is difficult, the Company (operational and technical department) must be notified immediately.

With regard to the health concerns of the inert gas is the main hazards of course its low oxygen content. The subsequent hazards such as the presence of traces of toxic gases in the produces
inert gas or encountered inside the cargo tanks and spaces shall be reduced and controlled by the crew following the Company procedures for 'Enclosed Space Entry'. By gas freeing from a
'Purged Condition (Hydro Carbons = 2% by Volume)' to the 'Gas Free Condition (Hydro Carbons = 1% LEL)', a sufficient dilution of such toxic gases to below their TLV-TWA limits will have
been achieved.

Inert Gas System Maintenance:

4. REQUIRED CLEANING STANDARDS
If not otherwise required by the Tanker Operational Department, then all cargo tanks and associated cargo handling systems such as pipelines, pumps, valves, heating systems etc. must be
prepared to comply with “Visible Water White Standard” as soon as possible after discharge of the previous cargo and unless otherwise directed.

The following points are considered to be the Company’s definition of “Visible Water White standard” with respect to cargo tank and associated cargo handling system cleanliness:

● Visual clean and dry;

● No traces of previous cargoes in cargo tanks or in their associated cargo handling systems;
● No odor;
● No suspendables (floaters on remains of water or other visual particles from previous cargo);
● No discoloration from previous cargoes or discoloration caused by the tank cleaning;
● No free water or condensation in pump suction well / bottom, bulkheads, overheads and all associated pipelines;
● No loose scales or blisters which could entrap remains from the previous cargo in the tank coating;
● No traces of previous cargo in heating coils and/or deck heaters;
● No traces of previous cargo in cargo pumps, strainers, cargo pipelines, stripping lines and manifold connections;
● All packings in cargo tank trunk hatches clean and free from odor;
● All cargo tanks fresh water rinsed in order to prevent damage of cargo to be loaded and to prevent damage to stainless steel components;
● All cargo tanks mopped dry if required by included tank cleaning procedures or required by the Operational Department;
● All cargo tanks gas free ready for inspection, alternatively fully inerted ready for loading (re. orders received from the Operational Department.Company).

5. SURROUNDING CONDITIONS
It should be noted that the temperature in the cargo tanks to be cleaned can be significantly influenced by the sorrounding conditions such as outside air temperature, sea water temperature,
ballast conditions incl. the temperature of the ballast water, adjacent cargo tank temperaures etc.

Such ambient conditions may have a negative effect on the desired cleaning standard such as freezing due to lower than allowed temperature or polymerisation / drying due to higher that
allowed temperatures.

The effect of surrounding temperatures must be taken into consideration-, be compensated for- and throughly controlled during the whole tank cleaning operation.

6. TANK SURFACE CONDITIONS

Epoxy systems are usually resistant to some weak acids and strong alkalies and do not absorb oil-like substances. Epoxy coatings tend to absorb, however, solventlike cargoes such as
toulene and xylene (resistant with limitations according to the vessel's coating resistance list which always must be consulted before loading a cargo and planning to following tank cleaning
operation).

The absorption is caused by swelling and a subsequent softening of the coating. After having carried such agressive cargoes, the coated cargo tanks has to be ventilated until the cargo has
been desorbed or released from the epoxy coating film as this process will result in a hardening of the epoxy and decrease swelling.

Such ventilation can take several days, depending on the type of cargo carried, type of coating and film thickness.
Water must NOT be used for cleaning the cargo tanks until this ventilation process have been finalized. The water can lead to blistering and subsequent lead to a serious damage of the
coating.

The more sovency power a cargo has, the more cargo residues could still be present in the coating. This will in return lead to either contamination of the next or after next cargo or a breakdown
of the coating film.

6. TANK CLEANING METHODS

The most important decision to be made, both ashore and aboard, for carrying out an efficient and correct tank cleaning operation is which one of the following solutions that have to be used:

● Butterworthing with water only, either with fresh or seawater and either hot or cold water;
● Butterworthing with water and injection of a tank cleaning chemical agent directly into the butterworth / tank cleaning line during the washing;
● Butterworthing with a pre-mixed cleaning solution in a tank and which solution then is recirculated internally during the cleaning;
● Butterworth rinsing with fresh water for removing chloride containing water and traces of contamination from the cargo tank surface;
● Lift method where the cleaning agent is placed on the surface of a small amount of water in the cargo tank which is then flooded and emptied again;
● Cleaning by ventilation as some cargoes do not require washing with water - however, in all cases then must the tank sump, pump and line systems be thoroughly
flushed with fresh water in order to ensure that none of the previous cargo remains in the pumps and pipeline systems;
● Steaming with a cleaning agent is a good way of improving the result of the cleaning, but safety matters must be kept in mind in connection with such operation.
● Ventilation - mopping up - drying out the cargo tanks if next cargo is sensitive to water or moisture.

Cleaning Chemicals
There are many factors to be considered ashore and aboard when deciding on the cleaning agent to be used for the particular cleaning operation, in particular:
● The nature of cargo to be cleaned from;
● The next cargo to be carried;
● The type of Tank Coating;
● The cleaning facilities and method.

The tank cleaning agent to be used will be ordered by the Tanker Operational Department in consultation with the Master and Tank Cleaning Consultants.

Mechanical conditions

In order to ensure an efficient tank cleaning operation it is of the outmost importance that all fixed and portable tank cleaning machines have been cleaned and checked for correct operation in
accordance with manufacturer's instructions and the vessel's planned maintenance system. Particular reference shall be given to the timeframe of one (1) cyclus of the tank cleaning machines.

In addition to the definition of “Visible Water White Standard”, the following points should also be checked with respect to tank readiness:
No sign of visible structural crack(s);
No sign of visible mechanical structural damage(s);
All tank hatch packings to be of correct type for the cargo to be loaded, properly fitted and in good tight condition;
All cargo tank lids, ullage and sighting ports, tank washing access cover closing devices in good condition;
All associated equipment such as level gauges, level alarms, temperature and pressure sensors, cargo pumps, heating elements are properly secured and functioning.

7. TANK CLEANING SAFETY HAZARDS

A tank cleaning safety hazard is a physical situation with a potential for injuries to crew members, damage to the vessel, damage to the surrounding environment, to the capital invested in the
vessel or a combination of all these.

The hazards can be identified by reviewing the physical properties and product characteristics of the cargo product to be cleaned. Hazards involved are in particular:

Fire & Explosion

Referring to the fire triangle consisting of an air/oxygen side, fuel and a source(s) of ignition the teory is that if one of these items is removed, then ignition should not be possible. Most cleaning
operations will be carried out in tanks that are filled with air, thus the oxidiser is present in most cases, unless the tank is inerted. The fuel could be remains of the cargo having been discharged
if this product has a low flash point, or it could be a flammable cleaning solvent. Under certain circumstances even substances with a high flash point can be ignited and must therefore be
considered as a fuel (mist). During many tank cleaning operations, the atmosphere in the tank must be considered as flammable because the product to be cleaned is flammable and
inertisations is not possible. Under such circumstances will the only way to guarantee that an explosion cannot occur during the tank cleaning be to ensure that there is no source of ignition. A
wellknown source of ignition during a tank cleaning operation is electrostatic discharge, in particular occuring during water spraying in the tank.

It should be noted that a cargo tank or pipeline must be purged with inert gas or nitrogen and only a purged tank or pipeline with less than 2% hydrocarbon gas by volume must be ventilated
with air in order to ensure that, during the gas freeing operation, no portion of the tank atmosphere is being brought within the flammable range and the hydrocarbon content must be measured
with the available meter that is designed to measure the percentage of hydrocarbon gas in an oxygen deficient atmosphere.

Corrosion
Any corrosive substances being used for the cleaning will destroy human tissue on contact e.g. skin, eyes or muscous membranes in the mouth and respiratory tract. It should also be noted
that metal or other material used in the construction of the vessel may be corroded at an excessive rate.

Undesired reactions
Polymerization (depletion of inhibitor or excessively high temperature, Saponification (creation of hard soap forming a layer on the tank structure thus requiring acid cleaning or even removal by
hydroblasting), Drying / Hardening (formation of hard debris that is no longer soluble and requiring treatment with a solvent, Reaction with water (Violent reaction of an Isocyanate after pre-
cleaning with water) etc.

Overexposure
Overexposure to toxic substances may lead to a sure dead if involved personnel enters a tank without wearing full personal protection equipment such as chemical suit and self-contained
breathing apparatus.

Asphyxiation
Asphyxiation is another word for oxygen deficiency when personnel enters into a tank with an inert gas atmosphere.

Emissions to the air

As always during tank ventilation, special care must be taken to prevent the risk of explosion (flammable products) or with regard to toxic vapors. All normal safety precautions shall be taken by
all personnel on board (No Smoking, No Open Lights, No Funnel Sparks, Accommodation ventilation on re-circulation etc.) The wind force and wind direction shall be a decisive parameter for
the Master to allow the ventilation to be initiated. In order to avoid a build-up of explosive or toxic vapors on deck areas, the amount of gas to be released from the tanks should be limited to the
circumstances. Ventilation of several tanks at the same time must be avoided.

Emissions to the water

Emissions to the water shall always be reduced to an absolute minimum. All on-board facilities must be operated very carefully in accordance with the vessel's P & A Manual (if chemical
cargoes) and Company procedures in order to reduce the residues during unloading of the cargo. All regulations, especially those contained in MARPOL Annex I and II and the Company
procedures, must be followed strictly.

9. GENERAL TANK CLEANING GUIDELINES

9A Line Cleaning Guidelines - Introduction
Many off-spec. “first foot samples” have resulted in rejection of the cargo tank and caused by contaminates remaining in the ships cargo line system. It is therefore of utmost importance that all
aspects of line cleaning are included in the ship’s tank cleaning planning and that the line cleaning operations are clearly defined.

Line Cleaning Guidelines - Cargo Line Cleaning during tank washing

During the line cleaning operation it must be ensured that a small positive pressure are being maintained in the pipelines in order to ensure that all surfaces in the pipelines are being flushed
and cleaned. The manifold valves can be used to adjust this positive pressure.
At cleaning the crossover lines at the manifold it must be ensured that both sides of the manifolds are being flushed / cleaned simultaneously. Drop lines (if fitted), restricked gauging pipe
stands and stripping pipe lines must be flushed / cleaned simultaneously.
If any of the valves fitted in the cargo pipe line system have plugs then these should be removed. All such valves should be opened and closed at regular intervals in order to ensure that the
flushing / cleaning water is cleaning the valve face and casing.
In the event of cleaning from black oil into clean oil trade it is necessary to make a cleaning agent solution in an already cleaned tank and use this solution for flushing around in the pipeline
system and pump the dirty washing water back to the slop tank.
All drain cocks in the pipeline system shall have their dust cap removed and the drain cocks flushed at regular intervals. Blind flanges at the manifold must be loosened a little at the end of the
tank cleaning operation in order to ensure that they have been properly cleaned.
Tank vent lines must be cleaned out during the initial washing, if required and all vapor return lines and associated manifolds must be thoroughly cleaned and dried out.

Line Cleaning Guidelines - Cargo Line Steaming

The steam condensate must firstly be checked for color and chlorides and in the event that any contaminants are being located, the system must be cleared out.
A suitable size steam hoses must be connected to each side of the manifold of the cargo line to be steam cleaned. Add steam and steam the line to the cargo pump drain valve with the pump
drain valve initially closed. During the steaming of the lines, the steam pressure must always be sufficient to ensure a flow of steam at the pump drain valve outlet as pure condensate at the
outlet have no efficient effect in cleaning the lines.
All valves and drain valves on the cargo line shall be opened and closed at regular intervals during the steaming in order to ensure that any entrapped residues and dissolved chloride salts left
by the seawater washing is removed.

To prevent any damage to seals, seal rings, packings etc., kindly note that a heated valve must never be forced to open or close. The coefficient of expansion of the seal rings is different from
that of the casing and if force is used, the seal ring may be damaged. If a valve does not function properly when heated, the valve must be allowed to cool down prior to open or closing it.

Tank vent lines must always be fresh water rinsed and / or steamed out upon completion of the tank washing and when steaming the vent lines it must be ensured that the steam is coming out
of both end of the line. Drain valves on the vapor return line must be opened and closed at regular intervals and a positive steam flow must be ensured at these outlets.

Drop and stripping lines must be steamed simultaneously with steaming the cargo lines.

It is very imperiative that the steaming operation is being closely monitored in order to avoid any damage to coating and valves and under no circumstances must force be used in handling
valves on the system.

9B Cleaning cargo tanks that have contained Leaded Gasoline

The cleaning of cargo tanks that have contained leaded gasoline is a hazardous operation for the crew due to the presence of organic lead derivatives in the tank atmosphere and which vapors
are very poisonous.

For safety reasons, a careful check on the lead vapor content is necessary before entering the tank. Breathing apparatus and protective clothing must be worn. Although it is known that strong
alkaline cleaners will substantially dissolve and remove cargo products such as lead, they will never completely remove traces of this extremely toxic substance.
It should be remembered that experts in leaded cargoes emphatically recommends against the use of a lead-bearing liquid contained cargo tank for anything else than lead-bearing products. In
fact, many experts recommend that once cargo tanks have carried leaded products, they should be maintained in that service due to the very high toxicity of the coating surfaces. There is no
known cleaning agent which can assure a totally lead-free condition. Feedstock should not be carried in cargo tanks containing more than 5 ppm atmospheric lead.
A very careful cleaning procedure is consequently required after discharge of lead-bearing products including leaded gasoline.

9C Sea Water Cleaning

To determine the time needed to clean a cargo tanks, the following criteria must be evaluated: The characteristics of the last cargo, type of tank lining (whether it is organic coating, inorganic
coating or stainless steel) and adjacent tank surface temperature. Adjacent tank surface temperature must also be evaluated.
Knowledge of the technical data for the washing machines is also necessary when performing the preplanning of the tank cleaning and in order to establish data about flow rate in cubic
meters / hour, horizontal throw length in static condition and cleaning time (cycle time) for a complete pattern.
It should be noted that inlet pressure means pressure delivered at the inlet of the washing machine. Loss of pressure in the tank cleaning line from the tank cleaning pump to washing machine
must be expected. The pressure drops approximately 1 bar per 15 meter hose length.
Water flow per washing machine, multiplied by number of machines used, must be compared with the draining pump capacity in order to ensure that the tank bottom is kept dry at all time
during the washing.
If portable washing machines are being used it should be noted that the positioning of the machines in the tank must be in accordance with the horizontal throw length. The distance from the
nozzle to tank side must be maximum half the throw length for achieving the optimal cleaning.
The levels of portable washing machines depend upon the internal construction of the tank (shadow diagram). Web-frames, plates, ladder etc. may obstruct the water jet. The crew must check
the result after each cleaning and consequently change or vary the machine positions until the best result is obtained.
It should be noted that cleaning hoses will stretch considerably when being filled with water and approaching the bottom position.

9D Chemical Cleaning
If conducting a tank cleaning involving injection of a cleaning agent (the injection method), the chemical (XXXX) shall be injected into the tank cleaning line and adjusted to an amount which is
in accordance with the chemical manufacturer's instruction and datasheet for the tank cleaning machines on board.
The washing water should be at a temperature of 60 to 70 deg. C, but never exceeding the tank coating allowance.
If conducting a tank cleaning involving recirculation with a solution of water / cleaning agent, the solution must be prepared in an available tank, using either seawater or fresh water. The
solution must be heated up by use of the heating coils to the required temperature before commencement of re-circulation.

Rinse off afterward with warm seawater. If detergent is still present at the end of the discharge line, the rinsing must be extended.
If required, it may be necessary to hand spray an additional cleaning agent over remaining residue areas after the primary washing. The cleaning agent should be left on the residual areas for
at least 30 minutes before the area is rinsed off again for X- number of washing machines. The temperature can be raised to hot at the end of the rinsing. If detergent is still present at the end
of the discharge line, the rinsing must be extended.

9E T.C. Machine Patterns

Fixed washing machines are normally stationed with due consideration being taken to throw length and correct level in order for the water jet to reach most areas of the tank. The data for fixed,
single nozzle washing machines differs from dual nozzle machines. The water jet from dual nozzle machines generates a criss-cross pattern, whereas the single nozzle machine generates a
helical pattern.

It is adviseable to use dual nozzle machines as portable- and single nozzle machines as fixed tank cleaning machines. The single nozzle machines are programmable thus making it possible to
concentrate the cleaning process to specific areas of the tank, i.e. the tank bottom.

It is imperative that the vessel's tankcleaning machines are fully operative at all times, i.e that the machines are being overhauled in accordance with makers manual, well greased and kept free
of rusty partickles and other dirt in order that they can freely rotate maintaining the washing pattern.

9F Gas-Freeing Tanks
The primary reason for gas-freeing the cargo tanks is to replace the atmosphere of the tanks by atmospheric air in order that the tanks can be entered safely without the personnel having to
use respiratory protection.
Reference should in this connection be made to SOLAS Chapter II-2, Regulation 16, sub-chapter 3 'Additional requirements for tankers' which states that when a vessel is provided with an inert
gas system, the cargo tanks shall first be purged in accordance with the provisons of regulation 4.5.6 until the concentration of hydrocarbon vapors in the cargo tanks has been reduced to less
than 2% by volume. Thereafter, gas-freeing may take place at the cargo tank deck level.
The gas-freeing shall normally be carried out by use of the portable blowers driven either by water or by air. The blower outlet should be equipped with a fabric hose that will direct the air further
down into the tank. It is very important that the air circulate completely in the tank as the time needed for the gas-freeing then can be reduced significantly.

This way of gas-freeing can be denoted as 'gas-freeing by dilution' and requires many changes of air until an explosimeter will give no reading and the oxygen content has reached 20.8%. An
air change of 10 to 20 times for reaching no reading and required oxygen content is not unusual, depending on the grade being cleaned from.
For most vessels it is also possible to use the blower of the inert gas plant to blow fresh air into the tanks. The air can be directed into the tank via the 'normal' inert gas inlet, and the mast-riser,
purge pipes, tank cleaning hatches or the tank hatch can be used as outlet from the tanks depending on the circumstances. In some of the vessels it is also easily possible to connect the inert
gas blower to the cargo lines in order that fresh air can be blown into the tank via the suction drum line in the tank.
Drying of the tanks is in fact carried out in the way, that the air blown into the tank takes up the humidity of the tank atmosphere, and thereby removing the water from the tank, when the air
again leaves the tank. In doing so it is however important to remember a few fundamental principles of how air can accumulate / contain humidity. The relation between the temperature of the
air and the water content in g/m3 is so that the air is able to contain a higher amount of humidity at a higher temperature ref. the welknown dewpoint curve.

9G Tank Inspection
In order to verify the result of the tank cleaning operation, the tanks, pipelines and all other equipment on board that have been in contact with the previous cargo must be inspected. A proper
inspection can only be performed by the crew entering the tanks and in doing so it must be ensured that all given standards and procedures for tank entry must be followed very strictly.
During the tank inspection it must be ensured that the following items are being checked: Entire tank surface for visible residues, tank sides to be touched and checked for perceptible residues,
hidden areas ref. fixed tank cleaning machine's shadow diagram, underneath heating coils and their supports (if applicable), underneath suction drums, tank coating for damage, temperature-
and level indicators etc. including checking the tanks for smell and wetness or moisure.

It is recognised that a thorough inspection of cargo related pipelines is almost impossible, but as a minimum is it required that all manifold connections are being opened up in order that the
lines can be checked visually for residues and moisture. It should be noted that smell in the lines could indicate an insufficient cleaning operation. The cargo pump cofferdam or vacuum strip
system must be purged for detecting any possible contamination or seal leak.

It may be necessary to carry out a Wall Wash if required by the Charterer or by the Shipper and in order to check the tanks for compliance with the given cargo carrying requirements.

(A Wall Wash Test Kit is a complete test kit for performing a hydrocarbon test, PTT test, chloride test, pH test, an acid wash colour test and stainless steel passivation test - the kit will be
supplied by the Company when or if required).

10. PHYSICAL PROPERTIES

Water-soluble or water-miscible products:
Water-soluble products and water-miscible products are easy to clean with water, and the solubility of the substances may increase at higher temperatures. The use of a cleaning agent shall
only take place if a reduction of cleaning time is needed.
Pruducts with a high melting point:
These products shall be washed at a temperature of 15 to 20 deg. C above the melting point. During washing there should only be an absolut minimum of ballast water or cold cargoes adjacent
to the tank(s) to be cleaned. During the cleaning itself special attention must be given to liquid- and vapor line systems for the purpose of avoiding freezing or solidification at any cold line
segments. The washing of the tanks must be carried out as soon as possible after discharge of the previous cargo.
Products with a high viscosity:
These products shall be washed at higher temperatures. Generally is the viscosity closely related to the temperature of the cargo and will degrease at higher temperatures. During washing
there should be an absolut minimum of ballast water or cold cargoes adjacent to the tank(s) to be cleaned. The washing of the tanks must be carried out as soon as possible after discharge of
the previous cargo.
Vapor Pressure / Boiling Point:

Products with a high vapor pressure (higher than some 50mbar at 20 deg. C) can be removed from the tanks by evaporation. In saying so it must be ensured that special care must be taken
under the ventilation for preventing the risk of explosion (flammable products) and emission (toxic vapors). All governing safety and environmental precautions must be taken in this respect.

Flash Point / Flammable Range:

The flash point is the lowest temperature at which a product gives off sufficient gas to form a flammable gas mixture that can be ignited. The pre-cleaning temperature must be well below the
flash point. If this is not possible, it must be ensured that the tanks are fully inerted or any other way of avoiding any ignition source.
Density / Specific Gravity:
Density / Specific Gravity is the ratio of the mass of a volume of a product to the mass of an equal volume of freshwater (1.0). For a product with limited or no solubility in water, the specific
gravity indicates whether the product will float on water or sink.

11. CARGO CHARACTERISTICS

Polymerisation:
The initial wash of products that tend to polymerise (plastificate) shall be carried out with cold (ambient) water only. Washing with hot water may result in polimeric residues being left in cargo
tanks and cargo lines and which will be very difficult to remove.
Evaporation of volatile substances:
Cargoes consisting of mixtures with different vapor pressures must not be cleaned by evaporation, neither must they be prewashed with hot water. The evaporation of the light substances from
a mixture could result in non-volatile residues that are very difficult to remove.
Reaction with water:
Isocyanates must never come into contact with water, not even the residues (reacts with water to form carbon dioxide CO2 which is very difficult to remove). Such products must be washed
with a suitable solvent that does not contain any water.
Reaction with Oxygen:

Drying and semi-drying vegetable and animal oils reacts with oxygen and will form a varnish-like polymeric film. This film is very difficult to remove from bulkheads, stringer decks, ladders etc.
Since heat increases the speed of the reaction, the initial washing of these products must be carried out with water at an ambient temperature immediately after discharge of the cargo.

Reaction with water hardness compounds:

Water hardness is formed by the calcium and magnesium content of the water. Sea water has a very high water hardness and some products like fatty acids and vegetable oils with a high free
fatty acid content will form white sticky residues, if they are cleaned with a water of a high water hardness (e.g. sea water).
Smell:
Minor residues of a smell-producing cargo left over in the lines, valves and cargo pumps (incl. pump cofferdams - if any) can easily contaminate a sensitive cargo. For neutralizing smell of
some chemicals such as acrylate, nitrobenzene or pygas) a smell killer shall be used on board.
