The key idea here is having a single, authoritative reference for how the cargo handling system operates and what to do during COW. The Operating and Equipment Manual contains the ship’s cargo handling procedures and the equipment details for the COW system, along with safety rules, gas management, ventilation, inert gas control, and emergency actions. This makes it the most relevant and reliable guide for conducting COW operations, ensuring crew know how to operate the system correctly and respond to issues. The other manuals don’t specifically cover cargo handling and COW procedures: propulsion or engine-focused manuals address different systems, and a salvage plan is about emergency response rather than routine COW operations.
