Ostonal ELECT 2

This document provides guidance on monitoring cargo, ballast, and void spaces for leakage and contamination on oil tankers, chemical carriers, LPG/LNG carriers. It outlines the key aspects an inspector should examine, including available procedures, records of inspections and soundings, evidence of contamination incidents, and familiarity of crew with the monitoring processes. Potential deficiencies include lack of relevant procedures, incomplete record keeping, inaccessible tank sighting arrangements, or undiscovered leakage incidents. The objective is to ensure any liquid migration between spaces is promptly detected.

● ACTIVITY SHEET
Name Ostonal, Jesus Lois Paul L. Year and Section BSMT 3B12

Course Code BSMT Course Title ELECT 2


Module Number Content Topic
Teacher Arnie De Leon Date

1. Find a sample question SIRE 2.0 Question library and list down the following:
● Were the Master and deck officers familiar with the company procedures for detecting
leakage of liquids between cargo, bunker, ballast, void and cofferdam spaces which included
inspecting the surface of ballast water prior to discharge, and were records available to show
that the necessary checks had been performed?

2. Short Question Text


● Monitoring cargo, ballast & void spaces for leakage and contamination

3. Vessel Types
● Oil, Chemical, LPG, LNG

4. ROVIQ Sequence
● Cargo Control Room, Main Deck

5. Publications
● IMO: ISM Code
● OCIMF/ICS: International Safety Guide for Oil Tankers and Terminals. Sixth Edition.

6. Objective
● To ensure that leakage of liquids between adjacent cargo, bunker, ballast, void and
cofferdam spaces or from pipelines passing through such spaces is detected.

7. Inspection Guidance

The vessel operator should have developed procedures which described:


● The requirement to inspect the surface of ballast water in tanks adjacent to cargo or bunker
tanks, or where oil pipes, including hydraulic lines, pass through the tank, prior to discharge
overboard.
● The requirement to sound empty tanks and spaces periodically to detect the migration of
liquids from adjacent or remote spaces through either structural failure or pipeline leakages.
● The requirement to monitor the level in full, or partially full, tanks periodically to detect the
migration of liquids between adjacent or interconnected spaces.
● The requirement to test ballast lines where they pass through cargo tanks or fuel tanks and
record the results.
● The actions to take when ballast water is found contaminated.
● The actions to take when there is evidence of migration of liquid between cargo, ballast,
bunker, void or cofferdam spaces.

8. Suggested Inspector Actions


● Sight, and where necessary review, the company procedures for checking for leakage of
cargo, bunker oil, hydraulic oil and ballast into empty spaces and, for inspecting the surface
of segregated ballast water prior to discharge.
● Review the sounding records for empty spaces and verify that soundings had been taken in
accordance with company procedure.
● Review the records for ballast water discharge and verify that the surface of the ballast in
each tank adjacent to a cargo or bunker tank or, with cargo, bunker or hydraulic lines passing
through it, had been inspected for contamination prior to discharge.
● Review the records of ballast line tests where they pass through cargo tanks or fuel tanks, if
applicable.
● Inspect the ballast tank sighting arrangements and verify that each tank adjoining a cargo or
bunker tank, or with cargo, bunker or hydraulic lines passing through it, could be readily
inspected without the need to remove numerous bolts to remove the inspection hatch or, to
make an enclosed space entry.

9. Expected Evidence
● The company procedure for sighting the surface of ballast water prior to discharge where the
ballast tanks were adjacent to a cargo or bunker tank or where oil pipes and/or hydraulic lines
pass through the tanks
● The company procedure to periodically sound empty tanks to detect liquid migration due to
structural failure or pipeline leakage.

ACTIVITY

● Records demonstrating that the surface of ballast water had been inspected prior to
discharge
● Records demonstrating that periodic soundings of empty spaces had been taken in
accordance with company procedures
● Records demonstrating that the level in full and partially full tanks had been periodically
verified to detect the migration of liquid between adjacent or interconnected spaces.
● Records of ballast line tests where they pass through cargo tanks or fuel tanks.

10. Potential Grounds for a Negative Observation


● There was no company procedure to periodically check empty spaces for ingress of liquids
from adjoining spaces or pipeline leakage or, to check the surface of ballast water for
contamination prior to discharge.
● The accompanying deck officer was unfamiliar with the company procedure for periodically
checking empty spaces for liquid ingress or monitoring the levels of full or partially full tanks
for migration of liquid between spaces.
● The accompanying officer was unfamiliar with the company procedure for inspecting the
surface of ballast water prior to discharge when a ballast tank adjoined a cargo or bunker
tank or had piping containing oil passing through it.
● Records determined that periodic checks to identify the ingress of liquids into empty spaces
had not been conducted as required by the company procedures.
● rds determined that the surface of ballast water contained in tanks adjacent to cargo or
bunker tanks, or which had pipes containing oil passing through them, had not been
inspected prior to discharge.
● Records determined that ballast lines had not been tested where they passed through cargo
tanks or fuel tanks.
● Inspection of the ballast tank sighting arrangements determined that numerous bolts were
required to be removed from the inspection hatch or, an enclosed space entry was needed to
be made, to inspect the surface of the ballast water within a full tank.
● Records determined that liquid leakage was detected in an empty space as a result of
structural or pipeline failure during the previous twelve months.
● Records determined that ballast water or a ballast tank was contaminated by oil from an
adjacent space or pipeline leakage during the previous twelve months.
