Cargo Handling Requirements: Prepurging of Vessel s Tanks: N2 Blanket Required: Percent Oxygen in Nitrogen Blanket: Vapor Space Purge: Loading Temperature Range: Transit Temperature Range: Discharge Temperature Range: Maximum Heating Coil Temperature: Yes See Regional Requirements Ambient Ambient Ambient Blanked off Adjacent Maximum Cargo Temperature: 45 deg C. Regional Requirements: tes: Tank acceptance:- tes: Padding tanks:- See notes EU Stainless steel or coated tank requirements, see below. Unless otherwise agreed with the customer glycol tanks will be padded as follows. In Harbour barge requirements to blanket if vessel to customer transfer is <8hrs. Inter Europe <5 days MEG Fibre grade, Oxygen content max <10% All other voyages MEG Fibre grade, Oxygen content max 3%. Inter Europe <10 days MEG Industrial and MEG Antifreeze, Oxygen content max 10% Inerting may be waived with customer s or supply manager s agreement International MEG Industrial and MEG Antifreeze, Oxygen content max 3% FOB sales As per receiver s requirements. tes: If Nitrogen blanket is in place and Carrier chooses to transship, carrier must reapply nitrogen blanket on the cargo, both on the discharging and receiving ship, at their time, risk, and expense. tes: Padding should be carried out using high purity nitrogen (99.99%). The preferred method is to introduce the nitrogen through a small tank lid, fitted with a suitable hose connection, at one end of the tank away from the main tank hatch. The nitrogen is introduced through the small tank lid from where it will flow to the tank hatch, and out the vent line. If this method cannot be used, the nitrogen must be bubbled through the drop line until the required oxygen reading is obtained. Using this method, the tank should be retested after 24 hours and topped up as necessary. Oxygen readings should be taken with recently calibrated meters. tes: Any single seal tank hatches should have the gasket reinforced with silicone, 3
Tank Acceptance Requirements: All shore and ship cargo lines and tanks are to be presented clean (residual free), dry, odor free, and rust free, with good gaskets and pressure tested heating coils. If cargo is not heated, heating coils to be flushed, dried with nitrogen and blanked off. Stainless Steel or Coated Tanks: Stainless preferred. Coated tanks, zinc not allowed, to be in very good condition with minimal blistering or breakdown. All blisters to be scraped to hard coating. All defects to be noted by the surveyor. Carrier to verify suitability of coating for product. Pipelines and fittings to be of stainless steel. For Europe Stainless, if coated presented, Chemicals MTA to review and approve on a case by case basis. Wall Wash Required: Yes for International and all Inter Europe voyages >10 days Inter Europe <10 days voyage, wall wash required for Fibre grade only Tank Acceptance Requirements: Wash Specifications: An ASTM E2664-09a standard methanol wallwash should be taken from at least four spots (at least 6 width and 6 height) on each bulkhead, and also four spots on the tank top. The following composite tests should be run. Results Appearance Clear bright and particle free Chlorides Hydrocarbons Color 0.249 ppm Pass (ASTM D-1722) 5 max Pt-Co (ASTM D-1209a) 4
Surveyors instructions: See appendix II for Additional tests for U1285, U1286 Prior Cargoes: If coated tanks are presented, the following products, which include Aromatics, CPP, Benzenes, Xylenes, and products which polymerize, may not be first prior cargoes. Refer to appendix I for list of products. The appendix also lists potential contamination sources. Stainless steel tanks, if prior cargo has polymerizing properties, surveyor should be additionally vigilant for prior residues Link to Appendices I & II: See appendices.
