Abstract
Cargo pumping in mammoth tankers and bulk carriers demands attention in regard to needed international unity pump safety and test standards. The suggested cargo system model tests are a negligible added investment to reduce the risk of cargo system problems. Pump design features, requirements imposed by the system, choice of pumps and drivers, and automation aspects are described to review their influence on the application of modern pumping systems. The use of the Vac-Strip3 system to utilize the main cargo units as high-capacity stripping pumps, the advantage of being able to eliminate conventional stripping systems with their fittings and fixtures, and a new method of clean ballast pumping are discussed in this paper.
