On 1 December 2023 IMO released the annual update of the MEPC.2 Circular Provisional categorization of liquid substances in accordance with MARPOL Annex II and the IBC Code.
BIMCO provides a summary of the important SOLAS regulations that impact the carriage of solid bulk cargoes.
There are solid bulk cargoes that are commonly transported by bulk carriers and yet many members are not familiar with the dangers that are associated with them. BIMCO provides timely information and advice on cargoes like iron ore fines, bauxite as well as cargoes that are capable of causing oxygen depletion in cargo spaces and adjacent spaces.
A Group A cargo is one which possesses a hazard due to moisture that may result in liquefaction or dynamic separation if shipped at a moisture content in excess of its transportable moisture limit.
A Group B cargo is one which possesses a chemical hazard which could give rise to a dangerous situation on a ship.
BIMCO gets enquiries often in relation to the classification group and carriage requirements of solid bulk cargoes that are not listed in the International Maritime Solid Bulk Cargoes ( IMSBC) Code. BIMCO provides guidance and the course of action required in such cases leading up to having the cargo listed in the IMSBC Code.
Accidents including fatalities continue to occur in the cargo holds and adjacent spaces of ships carrying solid bulk cargoes and this is a timely reminder to members about the dangers of entry into enclosed spaces.
The cargo information and declaration form for the use of cargoes under the International Maritime Solid Bulk Cargoes (IMSBC) Code has been revised to align with certain SOLAS regulations.
