This publication has been compiled with the aim of sharing the experiences of oil companies and other bodies represented on the HMC-4 with other branches of the oil industry, by providing guidance with regard to preparation of tanks on board petroleum tank vessels,
particularly when carrying refined products and changing from one product to another. The guidelines are written principally for marine tank vessels, they are not considered appropriate for inland waterway barges. This document addresses issues relating to most classes of refined product but does not cover chemicals or gases.
