PART 2: EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Arab Tank Terminals Limited (ATTL) provides bulk liquid storage and handling (loading/ discharging to and
from sea going vessels and through road tankers & pipelines) and is responsible for the protection of the
high valued products stored in terms of quality and containment.

Tanks are considered critical assets and to provide a view of the condition and anticipated service life of the
respective tanks, regular tank inspections need to be performed. This ensures business continuity whilst
maintaining a safe and reliable operation. It has been identified that Tank 107 required out-of-service
inspection as per API653 and TCR Arabia was engaged in March 2025 to conduct the inspection.

The inspection of tank 107 included visual inspection of the tank, tank appurtenances and tank foundation.
NDT data was gathered for the areas accessible and have been included in the report.

The outcome of the thickness measurement of the floor plates (outside the critical zone) indicated that
significant corrosion has prevailed, and a severe limited remaining life of 5.4 years was calculated.

Based on long term wall loss perceived for the bottom plates (outside of the critical zone) the next
inspection date was determined as March 2030 (an interval of 5 Years) provided the condition and wall loss
rate of the shell plates do not require inspection at an earlier date. The latter is believed to be highly unlikely
given the exceptionally low corrosion rate reported for the 2012 shell strakes and significant remaining life
calculated at that stage. Nevertheless, additional measurements for strake 5 and 6 and other vertical scan
positions are recommended to quantify the short-term corrosion rate and to ensure compliance with the
inspection requirements of API 653.

No excessive bottom plate wall loses were observed within the critical zone of the tank.

The suitability of service for the tank bottom is deemed acceptable. However, in order to prolong the service
life four patch plate repairs are recommended that will improve the tank service life (as well as inspection
interval). Furthermore, proper sealing of the bottom plate and foundation is highly recommended to mitigate
the corrosion degradation of the soil-side of the bottom plate of the tank. Recommendations for other
remedial actions steps to be taken on this tank has been provided in this report.

No settlement or plumbness measurement were undertaken during this assessment. it is recommended to include
such assessment during the next inspection of the tank.

PART 8: SUMMARY OF CALCULATIONS

8.1 Minimum Thickness Calculation for Welded Tank Shell
The minimum acceptable shell plate thickness for continued service will be determined by the 1-foot method
as per API 653 Section 4.3.3, which is applicable for tanks with diameters equal to 200 ft or less.
When determining the minimum acceptable thickness for an entire shell course, tmin is calculated as
follows:

2.6(𝐻−1)𝐷𝐺
𝑡𝑚𝑖𝑛 =
𝑆𝐸
Where:

tmin = Minimum acceptable thickness (in).

D = Nominal diameter of Tank (ft).
H = Maximum liquid level (ft).
G = Highest specific gravity of the contents.
S = Maximum allowable stress (psi).
E = Joint efficiency.

Following table mentions the summary of ultrasonic thickness measurements performed on the shell during
the current inspection.
Tank data:
D = 34.41 ft.
H = 38.42 ft.
G = 1.0
S = 24, 900 psi (For bottom and 2nd course) & 27,400 psi (For remaining
courses), Course 7- 33, 000 psi As per API 653 Table 4.1
E = 1.0 (Table 4.3 API 653).

*API-653 requires the minimum thickness for any course not be less than 0.100”.
Note: These calculations do not take into account seismic and wind loadings.
Shell thickness calculation indicates that the tank can be used for continued operation. The maximum liquid
level (62. ft) can be utilized with product specific gravities up to 1.0.

8.2 Tank Shell Corrosion Rate and Remaining Life

In order to calculate corrosion rates, since no previous inspection and UTG survey was carried out on Tank-
200 and no previous thickness is available hence corrosion rate is calculated by considering design
thickness and actual thickness.

All corrosion rates shall be calculated based on the design thickness and current minimum thickness
readings. Following equations shall be used to calculate the corrosion rate and remaining life.

𝑡𝑝𝑟𝑒𝑣𝑖𝑜𝑢𝑠 −𝑡𝑎𝑐𝑡𝑢𝑎𝑙
Corrosion Rate (mm/year) =
𝛥𝑌

𝑡𝑎𝑐𝑡𝑢𝑎𝑙 −𝑡𝑚𝑖𝑛𝑖𝑚𝑢𝑚
Remaining Life (years) =
𝐶𝑜𝑟𝑟𝑜𝑠𝑖𝑜𝑛 𝑅𝑎𝑡𝑒

Cr = Corrosion rate
tprevious = Previous thickness
toriginal = Original Thickness
tactual = Actual minimum measured thickness
tminimum = Minimum required thickness
IUT = UT inspection interval
Iv = Visual inspection interval
ΔY = Years between current and previous measured
thickness

The readings taken of the shell courses are not considered conclusive to determine the significance of
degradation, wall loss or remaining life of the shell. The preliminary long term corrosion rate based on the
limited information and measurement constraints was determined to be less than 0.005 mm per annum and
considered benign. The low corrosion rate and significant remaining life calculated in the 2012 assessment
(more than 111 years) provides confidence that the suitability of the tank in terms of the shell integrity is not
of concern. It is however recommended that additional thickness measurements be obtained for

9.1 API out of Service Inspection

As per API 653 guidelines, an internal inspection is mandated for storage tanks that have been in service
for over 10 years. The initial detailed internal inspection required within the first 10 years of service was due
by 2020. The current inspection encompasses an assessment of the overall external condition of the shell,
roof, nozzles and foundations etc. To reveal satisfactory findings. Based on the inspection and test
conducted, it is noted that the tank is in good condition however few corrosion defects has been identified in
tank. As no historical data of repair was available prior to this external/internal inspection.

Based on the inspection and test conducted, it is noted that the tank is in good condition, suggested to
follow repairs to extend the tank life span. As no historical data of repair was available prior to this external
inspection. We recommend the wall thickness recorded for Bottom plate during MFL Scanning to be
considered for repair with patch plate of 300 x 300 mm.

9.2 API External Inspection

Inspections must align with API 653 requirements, with a Visual Inspection scheduled no later than March
2030 and a UT Inspection of the shell no later than February 2032. The intervals may be advanced if there
is a change in the tank's condition.
