At the INTERTANKO meeting held back in 2015, the Council of the Organization made a decision to expand their services so that they cover the demands of the constantly growing involvement of the Members with the interest of the liquid gas industry. The first meeting of the newly founded Gas Tanker Committee was held in the following year.
At that time, the Members shared their concerns and ideas relating to the commingling/blending of the subject cargoes when carried on board their vessels, considering the information gap and lack of the proper guidance experienced today. The present publication contains the results for the working group activity, starting with the examination of the legality of conducting blending of the LPG on board ship, as per the applicable SOLAS regulation.
The main reasons for blending cargo has been addressed together with the identification of the principles of blending and hazards commonly involved with the process. The book provides valuable guidance which shall be referred to every time the blending/commingling is carried out. Moreover, the commercial implications have also been dealt with, taking into account their ever growing importance.
