Chemical tanker guide
The International Chamber of Shipping has launched a new edition of the standard reference guide for those working on tankers
carrying chemical cargoes. The fifth edition of the “ICS Tanker Safety Guide (Chemicals)” provides chemical tanker operators
and crew with up-to-date best practice guidance for safe and pollution-free operations on ships regulated under MARPOL Annex
II. This includes oil tankers operating in accordance with Annex II when they are carrying chemical cargoes.
