Preventive measures against corrosion in a gas carrier

Some cargoes and inhibitors may be corrosive. The IMO Codes require materials used in the cargo system to be resistant to corrosion by the cargo. Care should therefore be taken to ensure that unsuitable materials are not introduced into the cargo system. All precautions specific to the cargo should be strictly observed.

Corrosive liquids can also attach human tissue and care should be taken to avoid contact: reference should be made to the appropriate data sheets. Instructions about the use of protective clothing should be observed.
