PREVENTION OF POLLUTION (EDITION 3)

The four cargoes chosen in Part One are examined from the point of view of safe confinement on board and pollution prevention during operational procedures.

If, despite precautions, the cargo does escape, crews need to be familiar with the emergency procedures to reduce any pollution of the ship and its surrounding environment.

For all four cargoes, the approach is detailed in the context of cargo loading, carriage conditions and cargo discharge. The coverage extends to some of the practical as well as the regulatory requirements in terms of cargo categories given in Marpol Annex II. These include conditions laid down for stripping and tank washing of the various categories of cargoes likely to be carried on board chemical tankers.

The program also highlights those sea areas where tank washing and effluent dispersal are restricted.
