Journal Article · Thu Aug 07 00:00:00 EDT 1980 · Fed. Regist. (Wash., D.C.); (United States)

OSTI ID:6365252

The US Coast Guard (USCG) solicits information on the operation of tank barges of 20,000 dwt or more which carry crude oil and of 30,000 dwt or more which carry oil products; and on certain operations at terminals serving large tank barges, to determine the causes of air pollution from these barges. Also of particular interest are data on the number and size of tank barges of over 20,000 and over 30,000 dwt now on order or planned for construction for the carriage of crude oil and products; the impact of crude oil washing (COW) on the terminal facilities used by large tank barges; the feasibility of COW or inert gas system on these barges; the amount of ballast required for sea-keeping on tank barges of 20,000 dwt and over; the probable effect that a standard requiring all oily ballast, tank washings, or cargo residues to be retained on board for discharge to reception/treatment facilities would have on the operation of those barges which ballast cargo tanks or conduct tank washing at sea; and other related information. USCG must be provided with notice of forthcoming information by 10/1/80.
