PLANNING / TANK CLEANING RISK MANAGEMENT All tank cleaning operations must be carefully planned and documented and many factors needs to be taken inlo consideration by both office- and Cleanliness of the cargo tanks for the next cargo. Prior to commencement of any tank cleaning operation, an adequate planning ofthe operation mus Management. Potential hazards relating tothe planned tank cleaning operations must be systematically identified, the risk assessed and appropriate preventive me tisk to as low as reasonable practicable, It should be remembered, during planning the tank cleaning operation, that the prime risk is fre or explosion arising from simultaneous presence of ignition. The focus must therefore be to eliminate one or more of the hazards that contribute to that risk, namely the sides ofthe fire triangle of aio say flammable vapours. ‘The planning of cleaning the cargo tanks should actualy be kept in mind even before the the vessel loads its present cargo, mostly in order to ‘adjacent cargoes - if any. ‘An efficient preparation forthe tank cleaning operation wil also avoid unpleasant incidents during the following tank cleaning operation and hopefu vessels arival to the next loadport. The extent of the tank cleaning operation required can always be determined from the product properties of the product (oi, chemical or veg. 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 conducte being received fram the Operational Department. The availabilty and candiion of equipment to be used, the actual cleaning procedures, the ¢ process, the gasfreeing and manual tank preparation, the status and readiness of boiler, |.G. plant, pumps, heater and the crew requirements must 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 Com Particular attention must be paid to relevant Company procedures and to the procedures and guidelines laid down in the ‘International Safety Gui (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 Materials ‘cargo on board and as described in ISGOTT and Company procedures. It must be made strielly clear that no crew member or other personnel may enter any cargo tank unless permission to do so have been granted by 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 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 deem ‘oxygen content in the tank atmosphere which is at level that cannot support a combustion, Failure to prove through direct measurement that the cargo tank is inerted means, by detfaull, that the cargo tank SHALL be considered to be in the n 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 fro ‘Yue! and the ‘sources of ignition’ sides of the fre triangle. The cargo tanks must therefore be considered to be in a non-inerted condition and there Shipboard Management an elimination of these two hazards individually. Therefore, the safety of a tank cleaning in the non-inerted condition depend the implementation of strict procedures in order to ensure that these two hazards are being effectively controlled Noninert cargo tank washing must only be undetaken when the two sides of the fire triangle are being addressed by a combination of measures tha 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 withthe remaining members of the Shipboard Managemen All crew members involved in the tank cleaning operation must be fully briefed on the tank washing plans, and their roles and responsibilties prior to 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 in the operation but who, by virtue of their own concurrent tasks, may impact upon the safety ofthe tank cleaning operation. Both before and during the tank cleaning operation, the Shipboard Management should be satisfied that all the appropriate precautions set ou ‘observed. n the event that any other vessel s tied up alongside, this vessels personnel must also be notified and their compliance with all appropriat 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 ulilised on board is dependent on how the atmosphere in the cargo tanks are being managed {ited 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 exercis 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 gre 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 suc conditions of Scrubbers and Deck Seal Water Tank, operational concitions and calibration of oxygen analyzers and gas indicators including the integrity, flow indicators and batteries (for portable equipment), operational condition ef each alarm systems, operational condition of regulating ve condition of recirculation valves (or excess gas control valves) and operational conditions of cargo tank Pressure-Vacuum valves and PV-breakers r. Cargo tanks must always be kept in an intert condition at all times, except when itis necessary for the tanks to be gas free for inspection or work, 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 ver by volume both at 1 meter below deck and at 50% of the tank depth, It shail be ensured that the atmosphere within the cargo tank makes the transition from the inert condition to the gas free condition without pas practice, this means that, before any cargo tank is gas freed, it must be purged with inert gas untl the hydrocarbon content ofthe cargo tank atmosp in below figure). feemter Oe Poemtopsh pee (xan -Perenone by Vane It should be noted that the composition of inert gas after an efficient serubbing in the scrubbing tower wil typical consist of 83% Nitrogen (N), 12.

The subsequent hazards such as the produces inert gas or encountered inside the cargo tanks and spaces shall be reduced and controlled by the crew following the Company proce freeing from a ‘Purged Condition (Hydro Carbons = 2% by Volume} to the ‘Gas Free Condition (Hydro Carbons = 1% LEL)’ a sufficient dilution of 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, pur 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 ‘© 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 colls and/or deck heaters; + No traces of previous cargo in cargo pumps, strainers, cargo pipelines, stipping lines and manifold connections: ‘© Allpackings 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; + Allcargo 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.com 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 outsid ballast conditions inc. the temperature of the ballast water, adjacent cargo tank termperaures etc. ‘Such ambient conditions may have a negative effect on the desired cleaning standard such as freezing due to lower than allowed temperature or allowed temperatures. ‘The effect of surrounding temperatures must be taken into consideration, be compensated for- and throughly controled during the whole tank cleani 6. TANK SURFACE CONDITIONS Epoxy systems are usualy resistant to some weak acids and strong alkalies and do not absorb olLike substances. Epoxy coatings tend to abso toulene and xylene (resistant with limitations according to the vessels coating resistance list which always must be consulted before loading a car operation). ‘Tho absorption is caused by swelling and a subsequent softening ofthe coating. After having carried such agressive cargoes, the coated cargo tan been desorbed or released from the epoxy coating fm as this process will result in a hardening of the epoxy and decrease sweling. ‘Such ventilation can take several days, depending on the type of eargo carve type of coating and fl 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 sub coating ‘The more sovency power a cargo has, the more cargo residues could stil be present in the coating. This will in return lead to either contami breakdown ofthe coating film. 6.

Cleaning Guidelines - Carge 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 ‘and cleaned. The manifold valves can be used to adjust this positive pressure. At cleaning the crossover lines al the manifold it must be ensured that both sides of the manifolds are being flushed / cleaned simultaneously. Dr 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 r 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 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 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 retum lines and associated manifolds must be thoroughly cles 1¢ 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 ‘A suitable size steam hoses must be connected to each side of the manifold of the cargo line to be steam cleaned.

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, 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 al the inlet of the washing machine. Loss of pressure in the tank cleaning line 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 t during the washing It 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 hor 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 intemal construction of the tank (shadow diagram).

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 adjacent tothe tank(s) to be cleaned. During the cleaning itself special attention must be given to liquid- and vapor line systems for the purpose of av line segments, The washing ofthe 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 2 there should be an absolut minimum of ballast water or cold cargoes adjacent to the tank(s) to be cleaned.
