RECOMMENDATIONS FOR DESIGNING CARGO CONTROL ROOMS

  This official SIGTTO publication was prepared and published for those willing to get some professional advice and guidance on the design of the CCS, or Cargo Control Rooms, of the vessels carrying liquefied gases. It shall be noted that the recommendations contained in the pages of this volume shall apply only to the new ships, and not to the existing facilities.

However, the owners of the vessels in service might treat this book as providing guidance for the future major upgrades of the cargo control rooms on their gas carriers. The main body of the document is arranged in two parts, the first part providing some introduction and defining the scope, plus listing some key publications used when compiling this guidance.

The second part of the book covers the framework for the design process, namely clarification, analysis and definition, conceptual design, detailed design and, finally, operational feedback. Note that there is also a compact glossary of the terminology used throughout the text, for better understanding. Have a look in this concise document if you are interested in the design of the CCR of the modern gas carriers since it will provide you with everything one would need to understand the idea.
