    This document provides a guide for cleaning BP tankers between different cargo types to prevent contamination. It lists various cargo types that could be carried, including gasoline, jet fuel, kerosene, diesel, crude oil, and lubricants. For each combination of cargoes, it provides cleaning recommendations such as purging with gas (P), mid-wash (M), or prewash (PM) to remove residues from the previous cargo safely. The goal is to transition between cargoes while maintaining product quality and safety standards.
