A very important drawing that shows the position and the data of all ship tanks. To avoid misunderstandings, the TAP must contain a sufficient number of views and cross sections. It shall be framed and posted on the Bridge and in the Ship Office.
Each tank must be defined by a full name and a code which must be used in the same form on all drawings and in all ship documents. Codes must be short and will be welded on shell plating, manhole covers, etc. It is recommended to use standard tank names and codes. See also Tank Space Information.
