Can oil tanker carry Biofuel before IBC code 2007 amendment?

Answer 1

Before the IBC Code 2007 amendment, oil tankers were generally not permitted to carry biofuels due to the classification and regulations governing the transport of hazardous and non-hazardous materials. The IBC Code primarily addressed the carriage of liquid chemicals, and biofuels were often not classified under this framework. However, with advancements in biofuel production and the need for more sustainable transport options, subsequent amendments to regulations have started to accommodate the transport of biofuels under specific conditions.
