The IMO sets out two regulations, which are IMO Resolution MSC.215 (82) for paint and coating systems and Seawater Ballast Tanks known as the Wave Tank Test and IMO Resolution MSC.288 (87) for Cargo Oil Tanks known as a COT test.

COT in Shipping commonly refers to Cargo Oil Tank, which is used for transporting oil in maritime operations, ensuring safe and efficient delivery of petroleum products. This term is particularly important in discussions surrounding marine logistics and petroleum transport.

This annex provides details of the test procedures for cargo tank coatings of crude oil carriers as referred to in paragraphs 4.6 and 8.3 of this Standard. Both the tank-top and deck-head should be applied with coating systems that have passed the full test protocol as described in this standard.

The cargo oil tanks (C.O.Ts) are usually equally sized, and the dimensions of each are decided by the designer in the initial stage of design, depending on the total weight of oil to be carried by the ship. The access to each COT is separate, and is provided by means of rung ladders or hoist-able steps from the main deck.
