Shell nitrogen clause:

The following clause shall apply for all Charterers flammable (i.e. flashpoint 60 deg C or
below) Annex I and II cargoes unless covered by conflicting higher requirements in the
Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) convention in which case SOLAS convention shall apply.

Owners guarantee that vessels which are fitted with high capacity inert gas systems (i.e.
a system capable of delivering a capacity equivalent to or more of the actual discharge
rate of Charterers flammable cargo to maintain positive cargo tank inert atmosphere
pressure) shall be required to inert tanks that contain Charterers flammable cargoes
after the cargo tank has been loaded, but before commencement of unloading, the
timing of which to be in Owners option, and tank inert condition (i.e. 8% O2 or less by
volume) should be continued to be applied throughout the discharge operation.
Should vessel have a system with less capacity than stated above then Owners will be
under no obligation to use such system.
Only nitrogen is acceptable as inert gas under this provision.
In circumstances where the vessel is being required to receive non inert vapour return
during discharge then Owner has no obligation to keep the tank in an inert condition as
prescribed under this clause.
Charterers undertake to declare, prior to fixing, details of any inhibitor used in the
shipment of the cargo(s) and the minimum level of oxygen required in the vapour space
of the tank for the inhibitor to be effective. Owner should ensure oxygen level is
maintained at or above the minimum required oxygen level for the inhibitor to be
effective throughout the voyage and discharge operation. Should the required level of
Oxygen exceed 8% then Owners will not be required to inert such cargo.

Charterers will compensate Owners for supplying nitrogen, where required, against this clause basis the f
