Post-Weld Heat Treatment (PWHT) may not be performed on some vessels due to factors such as material type, design requirements, or operational conditions. Certain materials, like low-carbon steels, may not require PWHT to relieve residual stresses. Additionally, if the vessel is designed for specific service conditions that do not necessitate PWHT, it may be omitted to avoid potential issues like distortion or changes in material properties. Economic considerations and time constraints can also play a role in the decision to forgo PWHT.

Also I need the answer for this question. Nobody? anybody?
Post-weld heat treatment (PWHT) is typically required for ASTM A216 WCB (cast carbon steel) materials when they are welded, particularly for thicker sections or when they are used in high-stress applications. PWHT helps relieve residual stresses and improve the toughness of the weld and heat-affected zone. However, the necessity for PWHT can also depend on specific design codes, service conditions, and the thickness of the components being welded. It's important to consult relevant industry standards and specifications for guidance on specific applications.
A vessel is just a container. Solid objects or substances can be put in containers, that is done all the time. I store granulated sugar in a vessel.
keep it aboard the boat when in operation.
PWHT is a form of stress relief, other forms can be as simple as smacking your structural weld with a hammer. PWHT re-aligns metallic molicules (face centered) to similar configurations as before rapid heating and cooling occured.
P-11 is a piping material usually used in refinery and petrochemicals industries for services at or around 550 to 600 degree C temp. It is low alloy steel. It contains 1.25 cr and 0.5moly.It resitant to hydrogen attack. It need PWHT(post weld heat treatment). PWHT to be in the range of 680 to 780 degree C. P-22 is a piping material usually used in refinery and petrochemicals industries for services at or around 550 to 625 degree C temp. It is low alloy steel. It contains 2.25 cr and 1.moly.It resitant to hydrogen attack. It need PWHT(post weld heat treatment). PWHT to be in the range of 680 to 780 degree C.

No.You should not do that because the welding heat leads to over tempering of P91 which reduces the toughness and ductility...
A bollard pull test should typically be done annually to ensure that the tug or vessel's towing capability is in accordance with industry standards and regulations. Additionally, it may be required to be done after any major repairs or modifications to the vessel.
