8.2

 In the case of tankers engaged in the carriage of crude oil it is essential that the cargo tanks be maintained in the inerted condition to avoid the hazard of pyrophoric iron sulphide ignition. If it is assessed that the tanks cannot be maintained in an inerted condition before the inert gas system can be repaired, an external supply of inert gas should be connected to the system through the arrangements required by regulation 62.11.5 as soon as practicable, to avoid air being drawn into the cargo tanks.
