Notice Title

Feasibility Study of Eddy Current Inspection of Aluminium Tanker Welds

Notice Description

Further research is being considered to refine the analysis, look at the effects of fatigue, and undertake large scale testing of tanks, so as to assess the relative safety of non-compliant tankers in their current condition, after proposed modifications, and in comparison to compliant tankers. The work also has the potential to improve the safety and efficiency of all petroleum tankers, and to better regulation. The research will likely include a peer review of existing work, the commissioning of various tests, detailed engineering analysis and technical assessments of the test and theoretical results, and also of any weld procedures developed for proposed modifications. Research activities are subject to modification in response to findings as the work progresses. Given the potential impact on fuel supply and road safety, the research is to be undertaken and reported upon as soon as possible - initial work on non-compliant tankers (Phase 1) should be completed by the end of March 2014, and subject to the outcome of Phase 1, and any other factors, further work on non-compliant tankers and any work on modified and/or compliant tankers (Phase 2) should be completed between the end of June 2014 and the end of September 2014.
