Gas Detection

Facilities are provided to allow the operator to check manually the gas concentration for oxygen, %LEL or %Vol hydrocarbons, CO2 and dew point in four locations within each tank, three in each hold space, at each piece of machinery and at each manifold. The instruments are designed to be operated in a similar way to portable instruments used on board.

In addition an automatic gas monitoring system is incorporated for the ballast tanks and additional spaces.
