"Seal spaces that are not in use while in port, and perform a search of the ship before leaving."
Inert gas drawn from an in-line unit in the main or auxiliary boiler exhaust cannot normally be used in a chemical tanker carrying high-spec products. Why is this?
Because MARPOL severely restricts the cleaning to sea of tanks that have been inerted in this way, unless additional prewashing has first been carried out. This results in the generation of slops which reduce cargo carrying capacity and incurs disposal costs.
Because the gas drawn from such a source cannot be guaranteed to be below the Lower Explosive Limit.
Because the levels of hydrocarbons and suspended soot particles will have a significant negative impact on cargo quality and tank cleanliness.
Because connection between boiler exhaust systems and cargo containment arrangements is forbidden under the IBC Code.

Some main propulsion medium speed engine installations operate with a hydraulic oil type fluid coupling between the engine and the reduction gearbox instead of a mechanical clutch. With this type of installation a separate flexible coupling is not normally fitted. Why is a separate flexible coupling usually omitted from this type of installation?
There is insufficient room to fit a flexible coupling between the engine and gearbox when a fluid coupling is fitted.
There are no engine torque variations in the drive when a fluid coupling is used so a flexible coupling is not required.
The hydraulic fluid in the coupling isolates the gearbox from the engine vibrations.
There is natural slippage between the drive and driven parts of the fluid coupling and a flexible coupling would prevent this slippage.

By regularly monitoring void and ballast spaces, such as by testing them for hydrocarbon content and sounding them.
By frequently monitoring cargo level equipment readouts and comparing them to the load port departure readings.
