If a slop tank is to be used to supply oil to drive a Crude Oil Washing operation in a cargo tank, then that slop tank must not have contained slops with a water content of more than 2 %.
As washing begins, any water observed in the stream should be diverted to a slop tank, before Crude Oil Washing of any cargo compartment is commenced.
Crude Oil Washing, where the oil source is stored in a slop tank or other tank that has previously contained slops, should be avoided.
