7.2 Leakage

 To ensure that leakage of tank gas, particularly through the hatch centre-line joints, is eliminated or minimized, it is essential that the hatch covers are inspected frequently to determine the state of their seals, their alignment, etc. When the hatch covers have been opened, particularly after the ship has been carrying a dry bulk cargo, the seals and trackways should be inspected and cleaned to remove any foreign matter.
