ABSTRACT:
An improved spill overflow prevention system for tanker vessels comprising a longitudinally disposed trunk line, branch lines coupled at one end to the trunk line and at the other end to the cargo compartments of the vessel, valves coupled to the branch lines intermediate the ends thereof for permitting the free flow of fluid chemical and petroleum products from the cargo compartments to the trunk line through the branch lines, and a retention tank disposed in the vessel and coupled to the trunk line for receiving fluid chemical and petroleum products from the trunk line. Fluid chemical and petroleum products overflowing from the cargo compartments of the vessel are directed from the compartments through the branch lines and trunk line to the retention tank thereby preventing overflow of the products externally of the compartments. The branch and trunk lines are dimensioned so as to prevent any overpressurization of the compartments during an overflow.
