Cleaning device eyed in blasts on tankers in tropics
A Stockholm firm supplying Gunclean tank cleaning gear warned its customers not to use the system until investigations finish. Shell, owner of two of the three ships, told 20 more fleet vessels not to use it. Fewer than 100 of about 3,500 tankers are fitted. The system cleans tank walls with a rotating water jet and droplets can become electrified. No evidence links the device to the explosions.
