Coal tar coating is not acceptable. If tanks are not coated then state “none”. •Vessel must provide Certificates of Quality for last and next to last cargoes. These Certificates should contain all test data required by specification for the products that were previously loaded (last and next to last). They shall be submitted for each shore tank as well as the vessel tanks after loading (composite sample). Results of “typical” are not acceptable. Additionally the following are required for the specific products mentioned: (i)Naptha/condensates: mercaptan sulphur, reported in “parts per million” (ppm) or “mass percent”, or Doctor Test (ASTMD 4952). (ii)Gasoline (Motor or Aviation): State whether the previous product was “leaded” or unleaded”. This is needed to determine cargo tank “safe entry” testing requirements. •If vessel cargo tanks have heating coils, provide the coil type or composition (such as stainless steel, copper, etc.), date that the heating coils were last used and pressure tested, and the results of the test (passed or failed).

If unable to do so or if the sampling location is contaminated or suspected to be contaminated, Charterer will require open sampling on a tank by tank basis, consistent with safety and local terminal regulations. •Vessel must be gas free and safe for entry. Where a prior cargo contains a known toxic composition such as gasoline or naptha (or other compounds evaluated on an individual basis), the vessel will perform at their expense, the necessary toxicity screens by an appropriate authority, i.e. Certified Marine Chemist, Certified Industrial Hygienist. The test information on oxygen levels, flammability levels, toxicity, visuals, date and time will be recorded on a Log of Inspections and Tests to include the Testing Instrument Used and Signature of the Competent Person performing the tests. All toxicity/flammability assessments will be performed in the presence if the inspecting QAR. •Contractor shall provide (Owner's account) a certified Marine Chemist to certify tanks safe for entry for internal tank inspection by Government / Charterer Representatives •Max LOA: 650 Feet •Max Beam: 90 Feet •Max Laden Draft: 37 Feet •Max DWT: 40,000 MT 2.
