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.
BIMCO explains the carriage requirements of UN 3077 environmentally hazardous solid bulk cargoes under the International Maritime Solid Bulk Cargoes ( IMSBC) Code.
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.
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.
To get members ready for the new Code coming into effect 1 January 2019, BIMCO gives a run down of the major amendments that would impact members' business dealing with the carriage of dry bulk cargoes.
We often receive enquiries about UN 3077 cargoes, most recently about whether a tripartite agreement is required for such cargoes under the IMSBC Code.
