... 4. Safe handling of hydrocarbon vapors will require standardized equipment and procedures, which include redundant, automated gauging and alarm devices to prevent overfilling and over- or underpressuring, as well as in-line safety devices such as detonation arrestors.

From page 142...
... RECOMMENDATION: A program of technical research, development, and testing should be directed to changes in operational procedures that may reduce emissions, to recovery and disposal technologies that may offer safer, less costly control measures, and to vapor barriers and foams that could help reduce hydrocarbon emissions by controlling vapor generation in cargo tanks.
