Confined space entry

[ombugge]

@Sirk

Anyway, let’s not go into that now, please. It would be better if you wrote how the number of cargo tanks on a single permit is specified by the Sjofartsdirektoratet or quoted the relevant entries from SMS of such well-known shipowners as Stolt, Odfjell, Utkilen or Seatrans.

I don’t know the SMS of individual Norwegian shipping companies as I haven’t sailed on Norwegian flag ships since 1970.
.
As for the Chemical tanker companies you mention I would assume they follow IMO Recommendations for this (and other subject):

Since they have ships under many different flags the SMS for individual vessels MAY have to differ to comply with flag state rules though.

PS> I couldn’t find any specific rules, regulations or guidelines from NMA re: confined space entry on NOR or NIS registered ships. (IMO recommendation apply)
