1.________________________

_________________ washing (COW) is washing out the residue from the tanks of an oil tanker using the _________________cargo itself, after the cargo tanks have been emptied. ________________ is pumped back and preheated in the slop tanks, then sprayed back via high pressure nozzles in the cargo tanks on to the walls of the tank. Due to the sticky nature of the __________________, the oil clings to the tank walls, and such oil adds to the cargo 'remaining on board' (the ROB). By COWing the tanks, the amount of ROB is significantly reduced, and with the current high cost of oil, the financial savings are significant. MARPOL 73/78 made this mandatory equipment for oil tankers of 20,000 tons or greater deadweight.

2. Originally oil tankers used one set of tanks for cargo and about one third of the same tanks were for water ballast on their empty trips. High pressure, hot, __________________ jets were used to clean the tanks and the mixture of ___________________ and residue called slops discharged into the sea. The 1954 OILPOL Convention attempted to reduce the harm by prohibiting such discharges within 50 miles (80 km) of most land and 100 miles (160 km) of certain particularly sensitive areas. Nowadays discharging of any amount of contaminated water is strictly prohibited.

3. The discharges from __________________ washing were still considered a problem and during the 1960s the __________________ approach began to be adopted. The mixture of cleaning water and residue was pumped into a slop tank and allowed to separate into oil and water during the journey. The water portion was then discharged, leaving only ____________________in the slop tank. This was pumped into the main tanks and the new cargo ____________________ of it.
