CDI Best Practice Recommendations Regarding the use of Nitrogen
In spring 2012, The CDI Marine Executive Board instructed its Technical Committee to draw up a Best Practice Recommendation regarding the use of nitrogen on board chemical tankers for use by the chemical industry as appropriate.
Consequently, the Technical Committee met on two occasions during 2012 and concluded its work in the form of this document.
The objective of the paper is to set out the Chemical industries recommendation regarding the use of Nitrogen on sea going chemical tankers and to supplement safer ways of working within the industry, fully recognising the dangers of Nitrogen, both to people and ships, and the means to address this: no more, no less. The paper is “not” intended to supplant any regulations that IMO may, at some time in the future, introduce. The document is an evolving living document that will be periodically reviewed by CDI.
