Classification of Cargo Systems of Modern Tankers

Abstract

The increase in the efficiency of cargo operations of tankers has led to the development and implementation of linear-type cargo systems, the centrifugal cargo pumps of which perform stripping operations, and systems without suction pipelines with submersible cargo pumps, also performing stripping operations. This changes the ranking and complements the classification of cargo systems. The following classification is proposed: linear cargo system, system with submersible cargo pumps, ring and system with bypass transfer manifolds. The new classification allows adjusting the training program for specialists.
