Shipper's responsibility under SOLAS, MARPOL and the IMSBC Code and obligation relating to the cargo declaration form.
BIMCO continues to receive enquiries about the cargo “mill scale” which is not listed in the International Maritime Solid Bulk Cargoes ( IMSBC) Code. Should this cargo be carried under a tripartite agreement or is it in fact just listed in the IMSBC Code under another name?
The International Maritime Dangerous Goods (IMDG) Code, an important mandatory code for the shipment of dangerous packaged goods by sea, will be entering into its 41st amendment on 1 January 2024.
The International Maritime Organization (IMO) has issued a set of important amendments to the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS), as well as various codes mandatory under the Convention. The changes will enter into force on 1 January 2020 and can be viewed below.
All tankers carrying liquid cargoes governed by the International Code for Construction and Equipment of Ships Carrying Dangerous Chemicals in Bulk (IBC Code) and MARPOL Annex II should be checked and verified for compliance ahead of the regulatory changes that are taking effect from the new year.
The current carriage requirements of bauxite cargoes in bulk
On 21 October 2015, BIMCO held a one-hour long webinar session on the IMSBC Code, highlighting two very relevant issues for members; i.e. on “How to carry bulk cargoes safely – a shared risk?” and “ What is it – identifying cargo hazards under the IMSBC Code”.
BIMCO explains the carriage requirements of UN 3077 environmentally hazardous solid bulk cargoes under the International Maritime Solid Bulk Cargoes ( IMSBC) Code.
We get questions on the angle of repose for the loading of dry solid bulk cargoes, which has implications under the International Maritime Solid Bulk Cargoes (IMSBC) Code which can be complex to understand. This article explains the use of the angle of repose, when it is needed and why it is important for the safety of the ship, crew and cargo.
BIMCO provides advice on how the angle of repose information in the International Maritime Solid Bulk Cargoes ( IMSBC ) Code is to be used correctly and why it is critical for safe transport of solid bulk cargoes.
