A simple calculation procedure for predicting quantities of residue left in a tank after cargo discharge has been developed. A comparison of calculated values and 38 data points obtained from measurements on board seagoing tankers (2000 t and 30000 t) and an inland tanker (1000 t) showed on average very good agreement – despite the inevitable scatter in the measurements due, for example, to uncontrollable variations in cargo discharge and tank washing procedures. The importance of a well defined tank stripping procedure has been demonstrated.
