As the tanks were to be loaded at the next port within two days, the crew began day/night tank cleaning operations soon after sailing. The chief mate was a non-watch keeper, so was able to direct the tank cleaning crew continuously. Early the next morning, during post-cleaning ventilation, the chief mate, who was preparing to conduct pre-loading inspection of the empty tanks, was informed that a ‘petrol-like’ odour was still coming from 5P tank.
