1.1.2 - EMSA Study on DH Tanker Safety

Tripartite DiscussionsBeijing 2005, 31st Oct – 1st

Nov

• Establish a mandatory performance standard for cargo tank coating systems in new vessels

• Cargo tank deckhead& tank top structures

• IACS to developstandard withIndustry

• Present standardto IMO throughGovernment

Summary of Recommendation 3 to IACS

Tripartite DiscussionsBeijing 2005, 31st Oct – 1st

Nov

• Develop surveyor guidance on dealing with significant fatigue failures

• Address repairs andreinforcement methods

• Develop system toshare fatigue failureinformation

• Develop revisions toA.744(18) as needed

Summary of Recommendation 6 to IACS

1.1.2 - EMSA Study on DH Tanker Safety

Tripartite DiscussionsBeijing 2005, 31st Oct – 1st

Nov

• Develop UR on surveys at new construction

• Harmonizecontent andstandard ofsurveys

• Mandate IACSRec.47 as minimum standard for newconstructionand repairs

Summary of Recommendation 7 to IACS

1.1.2 - EMSA Study on DH Tanker Safety

Tripartite DiscussionsBeijing 2005, 31st Oct – 1st

Nov

• Amend SOLAS to require fixed gas detection & monitoring system for double hull tanks

• Applies to new oil and chemicaltankers > 20,000 dwt

• IACS to developtechnicalrequirements

• Possiblythrough jointindustry workinggroup

Summary of Recommendation 8a to IACS

1.1.2 - EMSA Study on DH Tanker Safety

Status of Recommendations in IACS• Rec.3: Cargo tank coating performance

standard- IACS to initiate discussion with IACS/Industry Joint Working Group on Corrosion

• Rec.6: Fatigue guidance- Tasked to IACS Survey Panel

• Rec.7: New construction survey requirements - IACS UR being considered by IACS Council- IACS SARQS (Rec 47) being updated- IACS CSR to require SARQS or a recognized standard

• Rec.8a: Fixed hydrocarbon gas detection - Develop technical requirements subsequent to IMO decision to amend SOLAS
