Part B: After Fumigation

 The following procedure should be carried out after application of fumigant and closing and sealing of cargo holds.

  SHIP FUMIGATOR IN- CHARGE
8 =

Presence of gas has been confirmed inside each hold under fumigation

[ ] [ ]
9 =

Each hold has been checked for leakage and sealed properly

[ ] [ ]
10 =

Spaces adjacent to the treated cargo holds have been checked and found gas-free

[ ] [ ]
11 =

The responsible crew members have been shown how to take gas readings properly when gas is present and they are fully conversant with the use of gas-detection equipment provided

[ ] [ ]
12 =

Methods of application:
   
(a) =

Surface application method

Initial rapid build-up of the gas in the upper regions of hold airspace with subsequent penetration downward of the gas over a longer period

[ ] [ ]
or    
(b) =

Deep probing

More rapid dispersion of gas than in (a) with lower concentrations in upper regions of airspace in the hold

[ ] [ ]
or    
(c) =

Recirculation

Rapid dispersion of gas throughout hold but at lower initial gas levels with subsequent build-up of gas levels which, however, may be lower due to even distribution

[ ] [ ]
or    
(d) =

Other
[ ] [ ]
13 =

The master or trained representatives have been briefed fully on the method of application and the spread of the gas throughout the hold

[ ] [ ]
14 =

The master or trained representatives have been made:

   
(a) =

aware that even though the initial check may not indicate any leaks, it is essential that monitoring is to be continued in the accommodation, engine-room, etc. because gas concentrations may reach their highest levels after several days

[ ] [ ]
(b) =

aware of the possibility of the spreading of gas throughout the duct keel and/or ballast tanks

[ ] [ ]
15 =

The fumigator-in-charge has supplied a signed statement to the master conforming to the requirements of 3.3.2.12 for his retention
