VOCstop and low smoking oil barrels

Article Abstract:

The development of VOCON procedure by the Intertanko that is supported by the Danish valve utilizes existing onboard equipment to help the crew minimize unnecessary cargo boil-off. The company concluded that preventing excessive boil-off is fundamentally better than the system that re-generates or re-circulates that boil-off, and is cheaper to install and maintain.
