Details needed for each tank in the backlog
For each vessel, record the confirmed empty window, booked inspector and target surface. Keep its handover and remaining limitations with that vessel rather than one programme-wide note.
Confirmed downtime and booked inspections set the order
Rank the backlog by the inspection already booked, the vessel’s empty window and the surfaces the inspector needs. A long list without those three facts cannot be sequenced credibly.
A separate completion record for each vessel
For each vessel, the completion record lists exposed areas and remaining limits. The inspector decides whether the view is sufficient.
Each tank keeps its own inspection date, exposed areas and handover note even when equipment or recovery arrangements are shared. Programme pressure does not combine the safety decisions for separate vessels.
Use the inspection preparation guide to confirm the surfaces and equipment that must be visible. The separate industrial tank cleaning plan covers access, isolation and production timing.
Group programmes are easiest to manage when every vessel keeps its own inspection date, empty window and target surfaces. Similar tanks may share equipment or recovery arrangements, but one delayed isolation should not obscure the status of the rest. The inspector’s requested view remains the completion point for each clean.
