(The “Big Three”)
Inert Gas System (IGS), Crude Oil Washing (COW), The Fire Triangle
Inert Gas System (IGS):
Purpose: To prevent fire/explosion by reducing oxygen.
Number to remember: Oxygen must be below 8% for the tank to be “Inerted.”
Crude Oil Washing (COW):
Using the cargo itself to wash the tanks during discharge to reduce sludge.
The Fire Triangle:
To have a fire, you need Fuel, Heat, and Oxygen.
Tankers add a 4th element: Chemical Chain Reaction. Removing any one of these stops the fire.
What is your biggest weakness
“Sometimes I am too focused on the details, but on a tanker, I’ve learned that being detail-oriented prevents spills and accidents.”
