OCTF – Oil and Chemical Tanker Cargo Operations

Using teaching aids T1, T2, B2 and B4, the trainees should be able to explain basic definitions with reference to:

  • flashpoint
  • volatility
  • upper flammable/explosive limit
  • lower flammable/explosive limit
  • auto-ignition temperature
  • spontaneous combustion
  • reactivity
  • toxicity
  • corrosivity

The instructors should, if possible, perform the following experiments to show the trainees:

  • the determination of cargo temperature
  • the determination of cargo density
  • determination of colour of cargoes and use of a colour scale
  • determination of flashpoint
  • test for contamination by hydrocarbons
  • test for contamination by chloride
  • test for contamination by water
