Normal Cargo Operations ❶

Insulation Space Test -

Dry Docking No. 96 = Helium Test + Vacum Decay Test
Warming Up = 42 Hours (Cargo Tank Temp at 2nd Barrier + 5 C ) - Insulation space Nitrogenation: 20 hrs
Inerting Cargo Tanks = 20 Hours ( HC<2%Vol. Dew Point < - 40 C Common practice when in dry dock for the Mk III = Ammonia Test + Vacum Decay ( after scaffolding removed) + - At end of DD - Next step fill up N2 from shore (liquid N2 and vaporizer supplied from shore)
Aeration = 20 Hours ( O2 = 20.9 % Vol. HC < 1 % LEL; CO2 < 0.5 % Vol; ship yard to supply dehumidified air to the
CO < 50 ppm; Dew Point < - 40 C) + on Mk III check integrity of secondary membrane by periodic global test - - 2 mbar G ( 0.2 kPa G) Supply / 4 mbar G (0.4kPaG) Vent
