Is it allowed to make Argon cylinders in the same storage with Oxygen cylinders on board an LPG vessel ?. This has been noted as an observation during a SIRE observation. |
It is a quite unusual observation. |
Item of VIQ given to this observation is 5.35. Content of the obersvation is as follow '' one argon gas cylinders was stored with Oxygen cylinders in the same storage cabinet. |
5.35 Are spare oxygen and acetylene cylinders stored apart in a dedicated storage and is the storage in a clearly marked, well-ventilated position outside the accommodation and engine room? The observation is unreasonable and has no legitimate basis. Master and CE should negotiate such situations with the inspector to clear it. |
