Place the first four straps around a cluster of 4 bottles, one cluster right, one cluster left. The banding needs to go through the inside bars of the rack if possible. Place two straps on the top 3rd and two straps on the lower 3rd of the rack (See Fig. 1).
The next step is to strap the 2 clusters together and should go around the outer part of the rack. Use one strap just above the upper strapping and one strap above the lower strapping.

2) Once the requisition has been prepared, the vendor will be notified to pick up the cylinders by the warehousemanwarehouse man/IODP dock.
ADDED: The warehouse man/IODP dock prepares shipping papers to send the racks/cylinders to be refilled (see Fig.).
When the vendor takes the bottles to be refilled, the vendor must produce a receipt indicating which gas racks and gas cylinders have been picked up, both by the IODP gas rack /gas bottle number as well as the serial numbers. This receipt must be scanned and entered into AMS as an attachment for the requisition (REQ).

3) When the refilled gas racks/cylinders are returned to IODP by the vendor, these must be checked in as received in the AMS requisition. The packing slip from the vendor must list the bottles by AMS GB and GR numbers, as well as by serial numbers. This receipt must be scanned and entered into AMS as an attachment for the requisition.
ADDED: The warehouse man/IODP dock will NOT receive the racks back in AMS.
The packing slip will be given to John Miller and when the statement arrives from the vendor, the AMS requisition will be invoiced with the actual costs. This will ensure that we can track gas racks/cylinders location and usage.
The warehouseman will check the received full gas racks into the shore warehouse inventory. The status of the gas rack, when viewed in Item Master, will now show up in the “Qty On Shore” field. SimilarilySimilarly, when the gas racks are allocated to a shipment, or are in the shipment to the ship, these will show up in the “QTY Allocated” and “Qty In Transit” fields in the Item Master screen.
