SEE INTERPRETATION 25
1 Every oil tanker
operating with crude oil washing systems shall be provided with
an Operations and Equipment Manual* detailing the system and equipment
and specifying operational procedures. Such a Manual shall be to
the satisfaction of the Administration and shall contain all the
information set out in the specifications referred to in paragraph
2 of regulation 33 of this Annex. If an alteration
affecting the crude oil washing system is made, the Operations and
Equipment Manual shall be revised accordingly.
2 With respect to
the ballasting of cargo tanks, sufficient cargo tanks shall be crude
oil washed prior to each ballast voyage in order that, taking into
account the tanker's trading pattern and expected weather conditions,
ballast water is put only into cargo tanks which have been crude
oil washed.
3 Unless an oil tanker
carries crude oil which is not suitable for crude oil washing, the
oil tanker shall operate the crude oil washing system in accordance
with the Operations and Equipment Manual.
