This webinar focuses on HM50 - guidelines for the preparation of tanks and lines for marine tank vessels carrying petroleum and refined products.

Used by the oil industry worldwide, this guidance is a vital reference material for shipowners, charterers and cargo inspectors when assessing the tank preparation carried out between voyages.

It was prepared primarily to maintain product quality using minimum effective tank preparation procedures, thereby reducing the use of marine bunkers and the generation of waste wash water. The guide also offers practical advice on the variety of cargo we see in the modern shipping industry.

The guide has undergone a thorough revision to reflect the changes in specifications and the increased use of renewable fuels such as HVO and Sustainable Aviation Kerosene.

In addition, the cleaning tables have been separated into three categories to reflect the type of cargo being loaded and so we encourage anyone with an interest in ship tank cleaning/preparation, such as energy trading companies, ship owners and independent inspection companies, to join the webinar.
