5.3 Loading

 When loading cargo the deck isolating valve required by regulation 62.10.8 should be closed and the inert gas plant may be shut down unless other cargo tanks are being deballasted simultaneously. All openings to the cargo tanks except the connections to the mast risers or equivalent venting arrangements should be kept closed to minimize flammable vapour on deck. Before loading commences, the flame screens in the mast risers or equivalent venting arrangements should be inspected and any stop valves isolating the cargo tanks from the inert gas main locked in the open position.
