Project Plan for Oil Tanker Maintenance

The proposed project aims to increase the capacity of oil tankers, patch leakages, and install anchor pipes. The project scope includes three tanks (Tank 1, Tank 2, and Tank 3), each with specific objectives and priorities. The activities will be designed in collaboration with an environmental manager to ensure effective implementation and minimize environmental hazards.

Project Management
Introduction:
In this paper, we are looking forward for synchronizing the activities performed at multiple
sites of oil in Australia for the large multi-national company. The major role of the company
is to manage the supply and demand of the local market in relation with the availability of
fuel oil.
Project mission:
The aim of this paper is to develop a plan for the multi-national company to manage the
supply and demand of the oil in the environmental friendly way so that the company can
perform their normal operation with ease. The goal of the project is to maintain the flow of
work of the local community which they have to stop during the filling of the oil tankers due
to the release of flammable vapours of the fuel oil. The filling of the oil tank affect the
economic condition of the local community (Baker, 2010). The proposed project helps in
overcoming the problem faced by the local community and the environment by patching all
the leakages in the tank. The renovation of the tanks helps in carrying the work efficiently at
all levels (Maldives, 2015).
Project Objective:
 Synchronized the activities at different oil reserve location of the company
 Minimize the environmental fines which are incurred on the company
 Improvement in the infrastructure of the tank
 Better improved design of the tanks to overcome the problem of leakages
 Rescheduling of the fuel delivery to the correspondent destination
Project Scope
Tank 1 In-scope Activities:
 Increasing the holding capacity of unleaded petrol about 1 million litres
 Four steel patching of around 2 metre squares
 Requirement of four anchors of steel to work efficiently at height
 Cleaning of the tank

Project Management
 Repainting of the tank from outside
Tank 2 In-scope Activities:
 Increasing the holding capacity of unleaded petrol about 3 million litres
 Seven steel patching of around 3 metre squares
 Requirement of four anchors of steel to work efficiently at height
 Cleaning of the tank
 Repainting of the tank from outside
Tank 3 In-scope Activities:
 Increasing the holding capacity of unleaded petrol about 7 million litres
 Six steel patching of around 1.5 metre squares
 Requirement of four anchors of steel to work efficiently at height
 Changing the main supply valve with the newer one steel valve of diameter 300
millimetre
 Cleaning of the tank
 Repainting of the tank from outside
Problem Domain
The delivery of the fuel restricts the working of the locality due to the release of the
flammable vapours from the ventilator of the tanks.

Key Deliverables:
 Development of the working plan
 Identify the point of leakages
 Analysis of the risk involved
 Changing of the main supply valve with the new steel valve
 Patching of all the leakage point with the steel patches
 Installation of the steel anchors to work efficiently on storing the fuel at height
 Conservation of biodiversity
 Overcoming the problem of soil loss
 Overcoming the problem of environmental hazards due to the occurrence of
flammable vapours during the transmission of the fuel oil
 Protecting the supply of fuel oil
Acceptance Criteria
The plan of the project will be accepted if it is capable of patching all the areas of leakages
and maintaining the flow of work of local community. The satisfaction level of the local
community helps us to measure the success of the project (Kone, 2015). The transmission of
the fuel oil should not adversely affect the environment.
