This manual offers guidelines for double hull oil tankers constructed primarily for the carriage of oil in bulk. It includes a review of survey preparation guidelines which cover safety elements and the preparations required before surveys can be carried out. The book highlights what to look for, possible causes and recommends viable repair methods.
The guidelines focus on the IACS Member Societies’ survey procedures but may also be useful in connection with survey/examination schemes of other regulatory bodies. The manual is intended only as guidance in support of the sound judgement of Surveyors, and is to be used at the Surveyors' discretion.
The manual includes figures that illustrate the structural areas of the hull most susceptible to deterioration and damage. This increases Surveyors’ structural awareness and aids readers’ understanding of the guidance.
