CHEMICAL TANKERS
INCREASED HAZARD OFFSET BY GREATER PRECAUTION

1. DESIGN IBC OR BCH CODE REQUIRES:-

• GREATER ABILITY TO SURVIVE AFTER COLLISION/GROUNDING

• REDUCED RISK OF PENETRATING TANKS CONTAINING CARGO
• INCREASED RELIABILITY OF CONTAINMENT SYSTEM
Precautions to standards of IMO Ship Types 1,2 or 3.

2. EQUIPMENT SPECIFIED BY THE CODES:-

• APPROPRIATE TO REDUCE RISK OF EXPOSURE IN OPERATIONS
(GAUGING, PROTECTIVE CLOTHING)
• BACK UP IF NECESSARY (HIGH LEVEL ALARM etc).
• ADDITIONAL ESCAPE EQUIPMENT IF NECESSARY
(Precautions appropriate to cargoes allowed to be carried
- see Certificate of Fitness).

2. IN IBC CODE, LOOK UP

POLLUTION CATEGORY, IMO SHIP TYPE, and SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS,
including:-
• Not next to Ship's Shell or Water Ballast (eg Mineral Acids)
• As above for (Category B, MP ≥ 15°C).

3. LOOK UP USCG GROUP AND NOTES

4. CHECK ABOVE BY NOTING ALLOWED TANKS ON CERTIFICATE OF FITNESS

5. LOOK AT CARGO DATA SHEETS FOR BOILING POINT, HEATING REQUIREMENTS,

POLYMERISATION PROBLEMS etc.

6. CHECK SHIPPING DOCUMENTS FOR VISCOSITY AND MELTING POINTS
