During cargo operations on oil tankers safety inspectors insist that accomodation ventillation put on recirculation and all intakes and natural vents to be kept shut. Recently I was on 6 months old tanker and when in port Air condition is put on recirculation and all intakes were shut.Crew complained of vaccum in accomodation,disconfort in the ears and carbon dioxide levels going up. We found that this is caused by sanitary and gally exhaust blowers exhausting air from accomodation and no replenishment as all intakes were shut. Did any one face similar situation and what methods are employed to overcome this problem?
