I. INTRODUCTION
There must be a variety of liquid storage tanks on board, which can be
necessary or waste products, such as fresh water tanks and sewage tanks. Each
storage tank has a different function, and in some storage tanks, there are rules for
isolation from other storage tanks. The location of the oil tank and the size of the oil
tank will be adjusted according to the needs of the ship.
The tank is usually located on the double bottom. These water tanks include
fuel, lubricating oil, ballast water, fresh water and waste liquid tanks. During the
voyage, the capacity must be suitable for needs. The fuel tank can be placed in the
front engine room bulkhead (the double bottom under the cargo space). Usually in
tankers, the fuel and sewage tanks are placed in front of the engine room. A waterproof
cofferdam is required between the fuel tank and the fresh water tank. It happens to
be the pump room in the tanker. It aims to predict whether one of the storage tanks is
leaking and whether the fluid is mixed. After all, we can adjust the volume calculation
of each storage tank to the number of calculated storage tank capacity requirements.
Therefore, we can determine the number of payloads.

V. CHAPTER DESCRIPTION
This document explain how to calculate any volume tank capacity and payload,
so need to know what is Payload, Weight Measurement, and Simpson Rules.
a. Payload
Payload is the carrying capacity of vehicle, usually measured in terms of weight.
Depending on the type of a vessel, the payload of a vehicle may include cargo,
passengers, crew, munitions, scientific instruments or experiments, or other
equipment. In a commercial context, payload may also refer to revenue-
generating cargo or paying passengers.
b. Weight Measurement
Lightweight measures the actual weight of the ship with no fuel, passengers,
cargo, or water, just the construction weight of the ship itself. Deadweight tonnage
(often abbreviated as DWT) is the displacement at any loaded condition minus the
ship lightweight. DWT includes the crew, passengers, cargo, fuel, water, food,
lubricating oil, etc.
c. Simpson Rules
Simpson's rules are used to calculate the volume of lifeboats, and by surveyors to
calculate the volume of sludge in a ship's oil tanks. Simpson’s first rule is used to
calculate the entire area /volume, so it’s often used by ship's officers to check
that the area under the ship's GZ curve complies with IMO stability criteria.
Simpson’s First Rules (1-4-1 rule)

10. Waste Tank (Sludge, Bilge Holding Tank, Sewage, and Slop Tank)
a. Sludge Tank
Based on MARPOL Annex I, for ships which do not carry ballast
water in oil fuel tanks, the minimum sludge tank capacity should be
calculated by the following formula (Regulation 10) :
Volume of tank:
Table 3.26 Sludge Holding Tank
Length = 1.5 m
Height = 2 m
Breadth = 1 m
V Sludge = 3 m3
c. Sewage Tank
Based on MARPOL Annex IV Technical Information No. TEC 0545, the
minimum capacity of Sewage Tank is:
Volume = C × A1 × E
Whereas:
C = Total Crew
A1 = Sewage factor per person
E = Endurance from port to port
So, the sewage volume is:
V = C × A1 × E
V = 21 × 0.06 × 8
V = 10.08 m3

Breadth 2 m
Portside Tank : 6 m

Total Volume : 12 m
d. Slop Tank
The arrangements of the slop tank or combination of slop tanks
shall have a capacity necessary to retain the slop generated by tank
washings, oil residues and dirty ballast residues. The total capacity of the
slop tank or tanks shall not be less. (Marpol Annex 1, Reg. 15 Par 2.
Section C). Kapal oil tanker dengan BRT lebih besar dari 1500 BRT harus
mempunyai slop tank dengan kapasitas 3 % dari kapasitas ruang
muatnya. Perhitungan volume ruangan ada penambahan sebesar kurang
lebih 2 % karena adanya internal struktur.
