The sampling connection should be isolated by two needle valves or one needle valve and one ball valve (not 2 ball valves) fitted at least 500 mm apart.
There should be a clearance of at least 250mm around the stub piece connection to allow spanner access.
For threaded sampling couplings, a positive means to prevent the coupling from rotating should be provided and regular inspections of the tightness of the connection should be performed and recorded. This is to prevent the fittings and/or valve from being unscrewed by the normal action of making and breaking connections.
The connection should be clearly labelled as to its point of origin, i.e. tank number and location, top, middle or bottom.
The use of a drain valve as a sample point is not acceptable.

Sampling can be achieved by a closed loop system, keeping the length of sampling line as short as practically possible
In connection with toxic and flammable cargoes, a closed loop

When possible, sampling through the use of the cargo pump
can allow return of cargo back to the vapour space of the cargo tank, minimizing release to the atmosphere.

For threaded fittings, a positive means to prevent the coupling from rotating should be provided and regular inspections of the tightness of the connection should be performed and recorded. This is to prevent the fittings and/or valve from being unscrewed by the normal action of making and breaking connections.
When applicable, segregation between grades is achievable without risk of liquid or vapour contamination

secured. For low-temperature liquids, the sheathing should extend longitudinally for a distance of at least 1.5 metres beyond the outermost edge of the outermost manifold flange. The sheathing should also extend to at least 0.5 metres inboard of the innermost manifold valve, transversely from the ship's side. In addition, in the case of other transfer line layouts, the sheathing should extend over any other areas that may be subject to spillage.
The company has written procedures for safe connection/disconnection, draining and purging of cargo loading/discharging arms
These procedures may include:
-Safety precautions during cargo operations.
-General arrangement of manifold pipeline area.
