Does ALCO(Arabian Light Crude Oil Storage Tank, 8000m3) need nitrogen blanketing? Is it governed by standard API 2000?

Tank is of internal floating roof construction type.

API 2000 does not specify what materials need to be blanketed. This decision is made by either the plant operator needs, safety concerns or environmental concerns.
