Recommendations for Oil and Chemical Tanker Manifolds and Associated Equipment

Recommendations for Oil and Chemical Tanker Manifolds and Associated Equipment. This new publication, the first edition of Recommendations for Oil and Chemical Tanker Manifolds and Associated Equipment supersedes the earlier titles. It takes account of the many years of industry experience with the previous guidance and build on the earlier recommendations. This is now a joint publication with the Chemical Distribution Institute (CDI), who have provided valuable input to support the development of recommendations for chemical tankers. Guidance has been expanded to include chemical tankers and dual classed oil/chemical tankers with the aim of achieving improved compatibility with shore facilities, particularly when these vessels trade to oil terminals. This is a book of recommendations and is not a book of rules. It contains tanker industry accepted recommendations on safety and equipment. Where more stringent international, national, or local regulations apply, they must always take precedence.
