Guidance on Cargo Compressor Room Entry On Board Gas Carriers (Risk based)
Year: 2021 Language: english Author: INTERTANKO ISTEC Genre: Reference book Format: PDF Quality: Scanned pages + text layer Pages count: 8 Description: Recognising the safety benefits of the existing mandatory requirements for ventilation, openings for entry and exits, and gas detection system applicable to compressor rooms design and features, this document provides advice on the safety measures to be put in place when entering cargo compressor rooms that have been risk assessed for entry without the need for an Enclosed Space Entry Permit, in the framework of a special entry procedure. This risk-based procedure will help align best practice amongst gas vessel operators for compressor room entry and is also aiming to become a reference for IMO works related to enclosed space entry. The risk assessment outcome is at the heart of this guidance, as such some compressor rooms may not be entitled to the special entry procedure. Additional info: The requirement for routine access to cargo compressor rooms on board has meant that the daily issuance of an Enclosed Space Entry Permit to this space could increase paperwork and also dilute the safety culture of the crew on board. This Guidance proposes a risk-based method to control compressor room entry without lowering safety standards.

Introduction and scope International Maritime Organization (IMO) Resolution A. 1050 (27) defines an 'enclosed space' as a space that has any of the following characteristics: .1 limited openings for entry and exit; 2. inadequate ventilation; and 3 is not designed for continuous worker occupancy. Furthermore, the resolution includes cargo compressor rooms, along with pump rooms, in its non-exhaustive list of examples of enclosed spaces. Therefore, a cargo compressor room requires an Enclosed Space Entry Permit The International Code of the Construction and Equipment of Ships Carrying Liquefied Gases in Bulk (IGC Code) specifies the requirement for a cargo compressor room's ventilation, openings for entry and exits, and gas detection system. These IGC requirements may allow some cargo compressor rooms to be dealt with as "enclosed spaces with special entry procedure" - as they have permanent and appropriate fixed mitigations in place. To recall, INTERTANKO, having sponsored an IMO paper which aims to review the current resolution A. 1050 (27). on revised recommendations for entering enclosed spaces aboard ships regarding its application to, gas carriers, especially to compressor rooms, suggested a tailor-made procedure be adopted 5s standard best practise to help align best practise amongst gas vessel operators. As such, this INTERTANKO Guidance provides advice on the safety measures to be put in place when entering cargo compressor rooms that have been risk assessed for entry without the need for an Enclosed Space Entry Permit, in other words, deemed as "enclosed spaces with special entry procedure". The scope of the document is limited to guidance on the cargo compressor room entry procedure. This INTERTANKO Guidance will be reviewed and updated once the IMO's work on enclosed spaces related to IMO Resolution A. 1050 (27) has been completed and circulated to IMO Member States.
