What kind of organization are they referring to? Are we talking about a Third Party?

The "Purchaser's Inspector" is assumed to inspect. That may or may not be a third-party inspector, depending on the purchaser.
I haven't searched exhaustively, but the only places I'm seeing an "Inspector" mentioned, it is always the owner's inspector.
See Section 1.3.1.
The definition may have been pulled from some other document. I think it's intentionally vague because there's not a specific requirement as to who that inspector is; that would normally be part of the contract requirements. See the tank data sheet where the owner can designate the inspector.
