EMSA Study on DH Tanker Safety Tripartite Discussions Beijing 2005, 31 st Oct – 1 st Nov Establish a mandatory performance standard for cargo tank coating systems in new vessels Cargo tank deckhead & tank top structures IACS to develop standard with Industry Present standard to IMO through Government Summary of Recommendation 3 to IACS
EMSA Study on DH Tanker Safety Tripartite Discussions Beijing 2005, 31 st Oct – 1 st Nov Develop surveyor guidance on dealing with significant fatigue failures Address repairs and reinforcement methods Develop system to share fatigue failure information Develop revisions to A.744(18) as needed Summary of Recommendation 6 to IACS
EMSA Study on DH Tanker Safety Tripartite Discussions Beijing 2005, 31 st Oct – 1 st Nov Develop UR on surveys at new construction Harmonize content and standard of surveys Mandate IACS Rec.47 as minimum standard for new construction and repairs Summary of Recommendation 7 to IACS
EMSA Study on DH Tanker Safety Tripartite Discussions Beijing 2005, 31 st Oct – 1 st Nov Amend SOLAS to require fixed gas detection & monitoring system for double hull tanks Applies to new oil and chemical tankers > 20,000 dwt IACS to develop technical requirements Possibly through joint industry working group Summary of Recommendation 8a to IACS
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 Tripartite Discussions Beijing 2005, 31 st Oct – 1 st Nov
