15+15 webinar: Responsible Tank Cleaning

06 May 2024

The discussion questions the relevance of the wall wash inspection and recommends replacing the wall wash with washing water analysis as a safer, more environmentally aware method of determining cargo tank suitability prior to loading any cargo. There is still a reluctance within the wider chemical tanker industry to accept that there may be better alternatives to the wall wash, so in order to address this, Guy Johnson, Director of L&I Maritime Ltd. , will explore just how little the wall wash inspection actually offers at the same time recognising the safety and environmental impacts of achieving a wall wash standard and how the washing water analysis actually contributes to safer working conditions and lower GHG emissions. Does the wall wash inspection definitely tell commercial interests that a cargo can be loaded successfully or not? Assuming a vessel is clean by hiding behind a wall wash result could be seen as bordering on stupidity. The “dilution effect” is the reason why vessels load successfully, not the wall wash specification. Washing Water Analysis significantly reduces confined space entry for the vessels’ crews and cargo surveyors. Washing Water Analysis contributes to a 58% reduction in CO2 emissions during tank cleaning.
