Note:
Double sides and double bottoms must meet the requirements in §
157.10d(c) or (d), as appropriate. A vessel will be considered to
have a single hull if it does not have double sides and a double
bottom that meet the requirements in § 157.10d(c) and § 157.10d(d).
To determine a tank vessel's double hull compliance date under OPA
90, use the vessel's hull configuration (i.e., single hull;
single hull with double sides; or single hull with double bottom)
on August 18, 1990. The conversion of a single hull tank vessel to
include only double sides or only a double bottom after August 18,
1990, will not result in a change of the vessel's originally
scheduled phase-out date. The conversion of a single hull tank
vessel to a double hull tank vessel meeting the requirements of §
157.10d complies with OPA 90.
