Title
Manual of Petroleum Measurement Standards Chapter 17 - Marine Measurement Section 8 - Guidelines for Pre-Loading Inspection of Marine Vessel Cargo Tanks
American Petroleum Institute
Publication Date:
Aug 1, 1998
Scope:
These guidelines specify procedures for determining that the
cargo tanks and associated loading equipment of marine vessels are
in a suitably clean condition to receive the intended cargo. They
apply to vessel tanks intended to load crude oil, petroleum, and
petrochemical cargoes. The extent of pre-loading tank inspection
will vary depending on the nature of the cargo to be loaded. These
guidelines recommend the extent of inspection that should be
instituted for certain general types of cargoes and an example of a
format that may be used for reporting the findings of tank
inspections. Because of the wide variety of conditions that may
exist when performing pre-loading tank inspections, this guidelines
is not intended to restrict the judgment of the person performing
the inspection.
