Chemical Tankers / Day 4 / Day 4 Topic 6 Marpol - P&A Manual

MARPOL II RECORD KEEPING

Due to the vastly different nature of cargo operations, cleaning and disposal procedures applicable under Annex-II, the recording instructions and operational codes are very different.

With regards to the tank plan, it should be noted that as far as Annex-II is concerned, any tank could be used as a slop tank subject to coating and safety considerations.

MARPOL II RECORD KEEPING

The CRB is a statutory document and must be given the respect and attention it deserves, failure to do this may result in heavy personal and company penalties in terms of fines, possible imprisonment, ship detentions and lost business.

MARPOL II RECORD KEEPING

The entries made in the Cargo Record Book are inextricably linked to the Ships Procedures And Arrangements Manual. The methods of discharging cargo (stripping procedure), methods used for the cleaning of cargo tanks and disposal of slops, as stated in the P & A Manual, must match the procedures recorded in the CRB, failure to do so automatically results in non-compliance.
