This course conclusion work aims to show that engineers are also responsible for inspecting what the others has designed and built. It has a duty to ensure the safety of all and contribute to the maintenance of environmental health, so that the development is sustainable and not destructive, once we have a leak in these tanks, fluids can be mortal to the local maritime life. So let us address a topic that is related to the structural inspections of vessel tanks, regardless of what is charged in these tanks and the type of vessel. The main focus is to explain the corrosion processes, deformation and cracks that occur within these tanks, as they happen and the importance of detecting such problems as soon as possible and how it has been repaired when happens. More than that, we are going to talk about the emergence of the need to make such inspections and that as national and international laws and regulations were created, so that they were standardized and thus guarantee a safer operation, in this way, insurers began to rely on these inspections as collateral.
