Transporting chemicals in ships (or tankers) leads to a similar technological classification of transport carriers as for RTCs. Depending on the phase of the chemical to be transported, two main classes can be subdivided For the transport of liquids chemical tankers are used whereas gas tankers are used for gases. 

Chemical tankers are similar to oil tankers but typically considerably smaller. Large-scaled chemical tankers for open sea transports have a deadweight of about 40,000 tons at maximum, whereas the largest class of (crude) oil tankers has a deadweight range from 320,000 up to 550,000 tons. Chemical tankers carry a number of tanks that can be... 

Chemical tankers for inland waterway transports have typically a deadweight of at most 10,000 tons. 

Public security departments should strictly manage the registration of new transport vehicles, and inspect on warning sign, text, GPS locator or running recorder. Quality inspection departments need to strengthen supervision and inspection on dangerous chemicals tankers and other containers, timely rectification is needed for any violation. 

Two assessment documents have been developed addressing chemical tankers and liquefied... 

Thorough surface preparation usually is required because the molten metal droplets must achieve adhesion before solidification. The coating achieved is somewhat oxidized and porous. Common applications are on steel surfaces exposed on offshore petroleum production platforms, chemical tanker compartments, stack breechings, and other structural steel locations. Metallized surfaces frequently are top-coated (Fig. 14.17).
