Area of voyage
Tanks are spread all over the ship from forward to aft and port to starboard. Different
types of tanks present on the ship are:
Fuel & Diesel Oil Tanks:
Bunker tanks
These are the biggest tanks in terms of capacity present on board a ship. They are used
to store fuel and diesel oil received in bulk after bunkering. The locations of bunker tanks
are normally outside the engine room and they are generally a wing or double bottom
tank. Low sulphur oil and marine gas oil is bunkered in separate dedicated bunker tanks
to avoid mix up of fuel.
Settling tanks
Generally, more than two settling tanks are present and located on a ship as part of the
bulkhead of the engine room. Oil from the bunker tank is transferred into the settling
tank. The diesel oil settling tank can be located as double bottom tank in the engine
room. Settling tank for low sulphur oil and marine gas oil is kept separate from other fuel
oil.
Service tanks
Service tanks onboard ships are used to store and supply treated oil to main engine,
auxiliary engine and boilers. The number of such tanks can be one or more. Fuel oil and
diesel oil service tanks are normally located as a part of the bulkhead of the engine
room. Low service fuel oil (L.S.F.O) and marine gas oil (M.G.O) tanks are dedicated
tanks to avoid mix up.
Over flow tank
Over flow tank is provided for both fuel and diesel oil system in the engine room for
collecting the overflowed oil from bunker tank. Return lines and leak off lines may also
be connected to overflow tank. It is a normal practice to have a common overflow tank
for high and low sulphur system.
The Main engine crank case oil is stored in one or more tanks and low sulphur system
oil is kept in separate tanks. There are no other settling or service tanks in lube oil
system and oil is taken directly from the main tank.
Main Engine Cylinder Oil Tank
The main engine cylinder oil is used inside the combustion chamber between
the piston and the liner, and is stored in the cylinder oil tank. The bulk oil is bunkered
directly into these tanks. The low sulphur oil is kept separate in different tanks.
Main Engine Cylinder Oil Daily Tank
The daily tank is located in the engine room and the oil is transferred from the storage
tank to this daily tank. The capacity of daily tank is kept as per the main engine cylinder
oil daily consumption.
Main Engine Turbocharger Oil tank
If the main engine comprises of a turbocharger system with forced lubrication, a
turbocharger lube oil storage tank is provided.
Maine Engine Turbocharger Daily Lube Oil Tank
A daily oil tank is provided in the engine room. Oil as per the daily consumption of the
turbo charging system is transferred from the storage tank.
Auxiliary Engine Lube Oil Tank
Auxiliary engine are 4 stroke engines and no separate cylinder lube oil is used.
Therefore, only auxiliary engine main lube oil is bunkered and kept in storage tank. One
or more tanks may be present as per the ships requirement.

rea de viaje
Los tanques estn repartidos por toda la nave de avance a popa y puerto a estribor. Los
diferentes tipos de tanques presentes en el barco son:
Combustible y Diesel Oil Tanks :
Tanques de combustible
Estos son los mayores depsitos en trminos de capacidad presentes a bordo de un
barco. Se utilizan para almacenar combustible y aceite diesel recibidos a granel
despus de abastecimiento de combustible. La ubicacin de los tanques de combustible
estn normalmente fuera de la sala de mquinas y en general son un ala o un tanque
de doble fondo. Aceite de azufre bajo y gasleo martimo se bunkers en los tanques de
combustible dedicado separadas para evitar la mezcla de combustible.
Tanques de sedimentacin
En general, ms de dos tanques de sedimentacin estn presentes y se encuentra en
un barco como parte del mamparo de la sala de mquinas. Aceite del tanque bunker se
transfiere al tanque de sedimentacin.El depsito de decantacin de aceite diesel
puede ser ubicado como tanque del doble fondo en la sala de mquinas. Tanque de
