The ICS Tanker Safety Guide (Chemicals) is the trusted publication for chemical tankers since 1971. Now in its sixth edition, the guide continues to translate the regulatory requirements of MARPOL Annex II into practical on board procedures for safe and environmentally responsible operations.

Readers can expect updated and expanded guidance on: 
  1. Annex I to Annex II cargo changeovers, including a practical flowchart that covers these tank cleaning operations step-by-step
  2. Safe enclosed space operations, helping crew better understand key safety requirements and building on updated guidelines from the IMO Washing water analysis, limiting the need for enclosed space entry and avoiding unnecessary risk 
  3. Hot work hazardous zones and Safe use of shore power, reducing use of fuel and emissions

It is recommended that this guide and its companion, International Safety Guide for Oil Tankers and Terminals (ISGOTT), are on board all ships carrying hazardous and noxious chemicals in bulk. The Tanker Safety Guide (Chemicals) Sixth Edition is essential for anyone involved in the carriage of chemicals on ships, including crew on board chemical tankers, ship operators and managers, cargo interests and charterers, training institutes and terminal operators.

If you live in a remote area, a ‘remote area surcharge’ may be applicable when booking your order on with a courier service for dispatch. A remote area surcharge is an additional fee that is added by a courier service for delivery to a remote location. We will always contact you about this should it ever happen, as it is not a fee that applies during the checkout phase of the online ordering process, but you will be expected to pay it should you wish to receive your order.
