2.1 Air intake

 Consideration should be given to the location of the air intakes to minimize the entry of harmful vapours. Traditionally, these are normally located on the boat deck connected to the engine-room casing or in the exhaust stack. Bearing in mind that vapours are normally heavier than air, other higher locations may be considered to avoid the vapour envelope around the tanker.
