Applicability of transfer These oil transfer procedures apply procedures to this vessel and her personnel at (33 CFR 155.750(A)(1)(iii)) all times, whenever any oil transfer from this vessel is being carried out. Description of oil transfer system The cargo system of this vessel of the vessel consists of 6 wing cargo tanks, and (33 CFR 155.750(A)(2)) a pair of cargo tanks designated as slop tanks. Cargo is handled by 3 vertical steam turbine centrifugal cargo pumps, each having a rated capacity of 3700 M3/Hr. At 150 M head. Each pump has 650 mm dia suction line and the system is designed to give the following 3 independent groups: No.1 - 1C + 4C + Slop(P/S) tanks No.2 - 2C + 5C tanks No.3 - 3C + 6C The gauging of cargo tanks is by means of MMC for local and pressure sensors for remote readings. Each tank has vapour lock for gauging and sampling facility.
