D. Tank Types
D 100
Integral tanks, general
101 Integral tanks form a part of the ship's hull and are
influenced in the same manner and by the same loads which
stress the adjacent hull structure.
102 The design vapour pressure pois normally not to exceed 0,25 bar. If, however, the hull scantlings are increased
accordingly, Po may be increased to a higher value but less
thao 0,7 bar.
D 200
Integral tanks, type a 1
201 Integral tanks type a1 are built in such a way that the
cargo is separated from the sea by a single skin.
D 300
Integral tanks, type a2
301 Integral tanks type a2 are built in such a way that the
cargo is separated from the sea by a double skin.
302 Minimum clearance is to be 760 mm between the tank
and the ship's shell.
303 Minimum distance between the ship's outer skin and
the tank bottom is equivalent to the Rule height for the
girder in dry cargo ships (see Pt.3 Ch.1 Sec.6), but is nor-
D 400
Independent tanks, general
401 Independent tanks do not form a part of the ship's
hull. An independent tank is built and installed in such a way
that the influence on the tank by the hull's deformation and
stresses is minimised. An independent tank does not contribute to the hull strength. An independent tank is normally
to have longitudinally rigid fixture to the ship in only one
transverse plane. Distance between tanks and hull: See Sec.4
AlOO.
D 500
Independent tanks, type a3
501 Independent tanks type a3 are self-supporting and
constructed primarily of. plane surfaces where the internal
loads are carried mainly in bending of plates and stiffeners.
The design vapour pressure Po is not to exceed 0,7 bar.
D 600
Independent tanks, type a4
601 Independent tanks type a4 tanks are self-supporting
pressure vessels with a design vapour pressure higher than
0, 7 bar and where the internal pressure is carried mainly as
tensile membrane stresses in the tank skin (cylinders,
spheres, etc.).

General
Means for gas freeing of the tanks are to be provided.
The arrangement for gas freeing cargo tanks should be such
as to minimize the hazards due to the dispersal of flammable
or toxic vapours in the atmosphere and to flammable or toxic
vapour mixtures in a cargo tank.
The ventilating system for cargo tanks is to be used exclusively for ventilating purposes. Connection between cargo
tank and pump room ventilation will not be accepted.
102 Gas freeing operations should be carried out such that
vapour is initially discharged in one of the following ways:
1) through the vent outlets specified in B300 or B400; or
2) through outlets at least 2 m above the cargo tank deck
level with a vertical efflux velocity of at least 30 mis
maintained during the gas freeing operation; or
3) through outlets at least 2 m above the cargo tank deck
level with a vertical efflux velocity of at least 20 mis
which are protected by suitable devices to prevent the
passage of flame.
103 Tank venting systems as described below are to be
provided according to the List of Cargoes.

Tank venting system, type c 1
201 For some particular products an open tauk venting
system is applicable.
B 300
Tank venting system, type c2
301 The tanks are to have arrangement for pressure/ vacuum relief during voyage and venting during loading and
unloading with closed tank hatch covers.
302 Pressure vacuum relief valves are to be fitted to each
tank to limit the pressure or vacuum in the tank.
The venting system may conslst of individual vents from
each tank or the vents from each individual tank may be
connected on the pressure side of the P/V-valve to a common header. Due regard is in that_ case to be paid to cargo
segregation.
303 Shut-off valves are not to be fitted neither above nor
below P/V valves, but by-pass valves may be provided.
Guidance note:
304 The opening pressure of the pressure relief valves is
normally to be 0,20 bar above atmospheric pressure.
When the flammable vapour concentration at the outlets has been
reduced to 30% of the lower flammable limit and in the case of
a toxic product the vapour concentration does not present a significant health hazard, gas freeing may thereafter be continued
at cargo tank deck level.
The opening pressure of the vacuum relief valves is normally not to be lower than 0,07 bar below atmospheric
pressure.

103 The outlets referred to in I 02 2) and 102 3) may be
fixed or portable.
104 Installations where the fans for ventilation and gas
freeing of the tanks are permanently installed, will be specially considered. The air supply line from the fan is to have
a shut-off valve and a non-return valve.
105 Piping from a ventilating plant or inert gas plant is to
be connected to cargo pressure piping systems only for
ventilating or inerting purposes.
106 Permanent pipe connections between a ventilating
plant or inert gas plant and cargo pressure piping systems
will normally not be accepted.
107 When a ventilating plant is connected to the cargo
lines, the connecting pipe is to have two valves, one of
which is to be a non-return valve or a flap valve, and the
other a stop valve.
305 P/V valves are to be located on open deck and are to
be of a type which allows the functioning of the valve to be
easily checked.
306 Venting systems to be used for cargoes that may cause
clogging of the venting lines, will be specially considered.
307 Intake openings of vacuum relief valves are to be located at least 1,5 m above tank deck, and are to be protected
against the sea.
The arrangement is to comply ·with the requirements in Pt.3
Ch. I Sec. I!.
308 Cargo tank vent outlets are to be situated not less than
6 metres above the weather deck or above the fore and ;:i.ft
gangway, if fitted within 4 metres of the gangway.
The vent exits are also to be arranged at a distance of at least
10 m from the nearest air intake or opening to accommodation and service spaces and ignition sources. The vapour
discharge is to be directed upwards in the form of unimpeded jets.

velocity vent valves of an approved type with an exit velocity of at least 30 mis, are fitted.
The vent exits are also to be arranged at a distance of at least
10 m from the nearest air intake or openings to accommodation and service spaces and ignition sources.
310 Vapour outlets for tanks to be used for cargoes with
flashpoint below 60°C should be provided with approved
devices to prevent the passage of flame into the cargo tanks.
Due attention is to be paid in the design of P/V valves, flame
screens and vent heads to the possibility of the blockage of
these devices by the freezing of cargo vapour or by icing
up in adverse weather conditions. Provisions should be
made that the system and fittings may be inspected, operationally checked, cleaned or renewed as applicable.
311 The vent system is to be sized, allowing for flame
screens, if fitted, to permit loading at a design rate without
overpressuring the tank. Specifically, under conditions in
which a saturated cargo vapour is discharged through the
venting system at the maximum anticipated loading rate, the
pressure differential between the cargo tank vapour space
and the atmosphere is not to exceed 0,2 kp/cm2 or, for independent tanks, the maximum working pressure of the
tank.
312 The pipe system for escape gas should be self-draining
under all normal operating conditions of list and trim. Where
it is necessary to drain venting systems above the level of
any P/V valve, capped or plugged drain cooks should be
provided.
313 Provision should be made to ensure that the liquid
head in any tank does not exceed the test head of that tank;
overflow control systems or spill valves, together with
gauging devices and tank filling procedures may be accepted
for this purpose.

An alarm is to be provided to indicate malfunctioning of
the temperature controls. The capacity of each cooling
system is to be sufficient to maintain the temperature of
the liquid cargo below the reference temperature (see
Sec. I B118) of the system.
2) An alternative arrangement may consist of three cooling
plants, any two of which are to be sufficient to maintain
the liquid temperatures below the reference temperature.
3) Cooling media which are separated from the products by
a single wall only is to be non-reactive with the propylene
oxide.

Pt.5 Ch.4 Sec.15 - Page 35
4) Cooling systems requiring compression of propylene oxide are not to be used.
716 Pressure relief valve settings are not to be less than
0,2 bar gauge, nor greater than 7 ,0 bar gauge for pressure
tanks intended for the carriage of propylene oxide and not
greater than 5,3 bar for the carriage of propylene
oxide/ethylene oxide mixtures.
717
1) The piping system for tanks to be loaded with these products is to be completely separate from piping systems
for all other tanks, including empty tanks, and from all
cargo compressors. If the piping system for the tanks to
be loaded is not independent as defined in Sec.! Bl 16,
the required piping separation is to be accomplished by
the removal of spool pieces, valves, or other pipe_ sections, and the installation of blank flanges at these locations. The required separation applies to any other
possible connections such as common inert gas supply
lines.
2) These products may be transported only in accordance
with cargo handling plans that have been approved by the
Society. Each intended loading arrangement is to be
shown on a separate cargo handling plan. Cargo handling plans are to show the entire cargo piping system and
the locations for installation of blank flanges needed to
meet the above piping separation requirements. A copy
of each approved cargo handling plan is to be maintained
on board the ship.
Guidance note:
When a ship carries propylene oxide or mixtures of ethylene
oxide/propylene oxide under IMO's Certificate of Fitness, the
Administration or delegated body issuing the Certificate will be
required to include a reference to the approved cargo handling
plans in the Certificate.
---e-n-d---o-f---G-u-i-d-a-n-c-e---n-o-t-e---
3) Before loading propylene oxide, certification verifying
that the required piping separation has been achieved is
to be obtained from a representative of the Society and
carried on board the ship. Each connection between a
blank flange and pipeline flange is to be fitted with a wire
and seal by the Society's representative to ensure that
inadvertent removal of the blank flange is impossible.
718 The maximum allowable tank filling limits for each
cargo tank are to be indicated for each loading temperature
which may be applied and for the applicable maximum reference temperature, on a list to be approved by the Society.
A copy of the list is to be permanently kept on board by the
master.
719 The cargo is to be carried under a suitable protective
padding of nitrogen gas. An automatic nitrogen make-up
system is to be installed to prevent the tank pressure falling
below 0,07 bar gauge in the event of product temperature
fall due to ambient conditions or maloperation of refrigeration systems. Sufficient nitrogen is to be available on board
to satisfy the demand of the automatic pressure control. Nitrogen of acceptable purity is to be used for padding.
720 The nitrogen system is to be capable of inerting the
tank vapour space to an oxygen content of less than 2 per
cent prior to loading and maintaining this content during the
voyage.
721 A water-spray system is to be provided in the area
where loading and unloading operations are conducted. The
capacity and arrangement is to be such as to blanket effectively the area surrounding the loading manifold and the
exposed deck pipework associated with product handling.
The arrangement of piping and nozzles is to be such as to
give a uniform distribution over the entire area protected at
a discharge rate of 10 l/m2/min. _Remote manual operation
should be arranged such that remote starting of pumps supplying the water spray system and remote operation of any
normally closed valves in the system can be carried out from
a suitable location outside the cargo area, adjacent to the
accommodation spaces and readily accessible and operable
in the event of fire in the areas protected. The water-spray
system is to be capable of both local and remote manual
operation and the arrangement is to ensure that any spilled
cargo is washed away. Additionally, a water hose with
pressure to the nozzle, when atmospheric temperatures permit, is to be connected ready for immediate use during
loading and unloading operations.
722 A remote operational, controlled closing-rate shut-off
valve is to be provided at each cargo hose connection used
during cargo transfer.

102 An inert gas system based on production of inert gas
by other means than combustion of hydrocarbons may be
accepted upon special considerations.
General
101
Inert gas systems are to satisfy the requirements of
Ch. 3 Sec.11 C602 to the extent these requirements are applicable. Alternative solutions to specific requirements in
above rules may be accepted as follows:
I) The water seal required by Ch.3 Sec. I I C602 may be
replaced by an alternative arrangement consisting of two
automatically operated shut-off valves in series with a
venting valve in between (double block and bleed). The
following conditions apply:
- The operation of the valve is to be automatically executed. Signals for opening/closing are to be taken
from the process directly, e.g. inert gas flow or differential pressure.
- An alarm for faulty operation of the valves is to be
provided, e.g. the operational status of "Blower stop"
and "Supply valve(s) open" is an alarm condition.
201 The requirements of 200 are specific for the gas generator system and apply when inert gas is produced by
passing compressed air through hollow fibres, semi-permeable membranes or adsorber materials.
202 The system is to be provided with at least two air
compressors.
203 The air compressor and the nitrogen generator may
be installed in the engine room or in a separate compartment. A separate compartment is to be treated as one of
other machinery spaces with respect to fire protection.
204 Where a separate compartment is provided, it is to be
positioned outside the cargo area and is to be fitted with an
independent mechanical extraction ventilation system, providing 6 air changes per hour. A low oxygen alarm is to be
fitted. The compartment is to have no direct access to accommodation spaces, service spaces or control stations.
205 Where fitted, a nitrogen receiver or buffer tank may
be installed in a dedicated compartment or in the separate
compartment containing the air compressor and the generator, or may be located in the cargo area. Where the nitrogen
receiver or buffer tank is installed in an enclosed space, the
access is to be arranged only from the open deck and the
access door is to open outwards. Permanent ventilation and
alarm are to be fitted as required in 204.
206 Nitrogen separating systems that may be destroyed by
high temperature in the supply air are to be arranged with
an alarm and automatic shutdown of the system upon alarm
conditions.
B 300
Nitrogen inert gas systems fitted for other
purposes
301 If an inert gas system is fitted for other applications
than stated in AlO 1, the requirements in 200 apply. However, only one air compressor is required and a permanent
recording of the parameters in Ch. 3 Sec.11 E202 is not
mandatory.
302 Where the connections to the hold spaces or to the
cargo piping are not permanent, two non-return valves may
substitute the non-return devices required in Ch.3 Sec.11
C602 and C603.
