Abstract
An emergency bulk liquid handling system for tankvessels suffering damage which incapacitates their primary liquid cargo system wherein valving in the normal cargo loading drop lines, deck headers and tank walls combined with means to prime the deck headers and drop lines provides a backup cargo offloading path which bypasses the damaged system and allows movement/offloading of liquid cargo despite the otherwise incapacitating damage.
