This publication covers the processes of planning, inspecting and repairing steel tanker structures and any protective coatings or protection systems. The practices and procedures described can be applied to both single and double hulled tankers and recommendations apply to oil tankers of any size and configuration.
This publication outlines key considerations for tanker inspections, from preparation and execution to result analysis. It also explains the causes, types and control of tanker corrosion. Guidance is informed by, though does not fully meet, requirements of the ISM Code. The manual offers methods by which a systematic maintenance programme can be established for tanker structures.

TCSF
The
Tanker
Structure
Co-operative
Forum
(TSCF)
is
an
informal
technical
body
whose
membership
is
voluntary
and
comprised
of
Oil
Companies,
Independent
Owners/Operators
and
Classification
Societies
who
will
actively
contribute
to
the
TSCF’s
Mission.
The
mission
of
the
TSCF
is
to
advance
maritime
safety
through
improvements
in
the
design
and
maintenance
of
tanker
structures.
This
is
achieved
by
sharing
technical
knowledge
and
experience
in
order
to
gain
a
better
understanding
of
the
safety
performance
of
tanker
structures
in
service.
Specific
topic
areas
of
interest
include
corrosion,
structural
defects,
inspection
procedures,
and
criteria
for
determining
renewal
of
damaged
or
corroded
structure.
The
TSCF
is
committed
to
sharing
accumulated
experience
on
tanker
structures
with
the
marine
industry.
This
is
achieved
through
prompt
public
release
of
technical
manuals
and
information
papers,
and
proceedings
of
TSCF
Shipbuilder’s
Meetings.
