IMO Part C – Machinery installations (extract)
– Regulation 26 – General
11 Location and arrangement of vent pipes for fuel oil service, settling
and lubrication oil tanks shall be such that in the event of a brokenvent pipe this shall not directly lead to the risk of ingress of seawater
splashes or rainwater. Two fuel oil service tanks for each type of fuel
used on board necessary for propulsion and vital systems or
equivalent arrangements shall be provided on each new ship, with a
capacity of at least 8 h at maximum continuous rating of the
propulsion plant and normal operating load at sea of the generator
plant.* This paragraph applies only to ships constructed on or after 1
July 1998.

– SUMMARY
– Settling Tank arrangement
General about mixing of fuels. Great care must be taken in order not to mix
different fuels in any tanks. Incompatibility problems may occur that creates
the formation of precipitated asphaltenes forming high viscous sludge. This
sludge may block any strainers, heaters, separators and filters in the entire
fuel system.
In order to provide a fuel handling that minimise the risk of mixing two fuels
of different origin, two settling tanks should be provided. These tanks should
be used alternatively in order to utilise a better settling and stabilising the oil
temperature before being treated by separators.
When only one settling tank is provided, great care must be taken when
changing from one bunker type to another. The tank must be emptied to a
low level before the “new” bunker is transferred into the tank.
By doing this is the risk of mixing two fuels of different origin is minimised.
Cleaning of the settling tank(s) should be done at least once a year

– SUMMARY continued
–Service Tank arrangement:
In order to provide a fuel handling that minimise
the risk of mixing two fuels of different origin, two
service tanks should be provided. These tanks
should be used alternatively in order to avoid
mixing of two fuels of different origin at a high
temperature. Cleaning of the service tank(s)
should be done at least once a year.
