What do these headings mean?
« on: November 15, 2017, 11:17:41 PM »
Hi  all,
Cropped this photo as much as possible.

These were written on the side of a bunkering tanker alongside but I'm wondering what they mean?

Regards,

It simply means each of those lines onboard the ship have been pressure tested to 15 bar and are satisfactory. I can't remember how often these need to be done but 5 years is ringing a bell for some reason.
In case anyone asks, the lines are the pipes product, water, air, hydraulic fluid, etc run through.

Regards Robbie.

The tests have to be done from ships side yearly and from classification side at least every 5 years. However
PSC controls can check them anytime and during intermediate surveys too
NOW!!!,,,if we could get rid of the sailors,,how safe shipping would be !!!!!!!!
