29、uring the load-ing, transport, and discharge operations. Consequently, it isimportant to determine whether the vessels tanks and associ-ated cargo-loading equipment are sufficiently clean so thatthe intended cargo will not be contaminated.Cargoes of crude oil, petroleum and petrochemicals havevaryin

30、g tolerances regarding the extent to which they areaffected by on board quantities (OBQ) or residues after tankcleaning operations. These guidelines for pre-loading inspec-tion of a vessels tanks are intended to minimize the risk ofcontaminating the cargo to be loaded.Tank inspection activities perf

31、ormed on board a vesselshall be accomplished in the presence of, or with the expresspermission of, the vessels master or other appropriate author-ity. For safety reasons, only appropriate and approved equip-ment shall be used.2 ScopeThese guidelines specify procedures for determining thatthe cargo t

32、anks and associated loading equipment of marinevessels are in a suitably clean condition to receive theintended cargo. They apply to vessel tanks intended to loadcrude oil, petroleum, and petrochemical cargoes. The extentof pre-loading tank inspection will vary depending on thenature of the cargo to

33、 be loaded. These guidelines recom-mend the extent of inspection that should be instituted for cer-tain general types of cargoes and an example of a format thatmay be used for reporting the findings of tank inspections.Because of the wide variety of conditions that may exist whenperforming pre-loadi

34、ng tank inspections, this guideline is notintended to restrict the judgment of the person performingthe inspection.3 Referenced PublicationsThe following API documents are referenced in the text ofthis chapter.
