1.1 The new SOLAS regulation II-1/3-11 adopted by resolution MSC.291(87) requires that all cargo oil tanks of crude oil tankers shall be coated during construction or protected by alternative means of corrosion protection or corrosion resistant material.

1.2 However, the Administration may exempt a crude oil tanker from the requirement if the ship is built to be engaged solely in the carriage of cargoes and cargo handling operations not causing corrosion.

1.3 These Guidelines are intended for use by Administrations when granting such exemption.
