Ships use fuel, oils, sludge, sewage, water and other fluids, which are stored in tanks. When stored in tanks, these fluids tend to stick inside the tanks forming layers of semi-solid substance. Moreover, many impurities of these fluids settle down and stick to the surface of the tanks. It is therefore imperative that the tanks are cleaned on a regular basis on ships. Generally, tanks cleaning on the ship is done during dry dock and whenever the inspection of the tanks is due. Cleaning is done for inspection or if there is any work to be done inside the tanks such as cracks, leaks, etc. Tank cleaning inspection and repairs is a necessary procedure performed on board ships. This process, when carried out by humans, tends to be hazardous, sometimes leading to explosion and accidents. In spite of all the necessary safety precautions and enclosed space entry procedures, accidents still occur while inspecting, cleaning and repairing tanks on board ships. (b) How it is being Overcome. The problem is, at present, being overcome by ventilating the tanks and use of personnel protective gears. However, the atmosphere in the tanks still remains unsatisfactory and continues to pose health hazards for human beings.

The following procedure is followed before making an entry for tank cleaning: -

  • Fluid Contents of the tank should be removed as practicable as possible and stripped thoroughly before entering.
  • Ventilate the tank using thorough ventilation or forced ventilation method and make the tank suitable for man entry.
  • Before making a man entry, the atmosphere of the tank is tested for percentage of oxygen and availability of any toxic gases. This has to be done using remote access if possible, otherwise the person entering the tank for testing atmosphere must wear a breathing apparatus.
  • Various levels and compartments of tank is tested for the percentage of oxygen and availability of toxic gases.

A multi gas analyser is used and a person who is trained and has the knowledge of using such equipment carries out the inspection. Once the tank is found safe for man entry, workers enter the tank and carry out cleaning, inspection, repairs etc. Working within these constrained spaces is hazardous, in spite of all the safety precautions.

Why it is Important to Solve. Effective solution of this problem is critical to avoid

  • time delays in inspecting, cleaning and repairing tanks
  • accidents which still occur inside the tanks on board ships.
  • Manpower cost.

Suggested Solutions. The problem can be resolved by developing a mechanism like a robotic arm with the following attachments:

  • Gas analyser for checking the percentage of oxygen and presence of toxic gases,
  • Camera for inspection of tank and examination of defect.
  • Cleaning Attachment
  • Repair attachments
  • Quality Inspection Equipment

The robotic arm should be amenable for reliable operation on a ship and capable of entering the tanks and reaching all areas within. It should have programmable operations like horizontal movement, vertical movement, speed adjustment, single or multistage operation at any desired length and angle range, etc. It should be light enough to carry within the constraints of a ship, with fixing arrangements that match with arrangements on-board ship.
