言
经修正的《1974年国际海上人命安全公约》（SOLAS公约）涉及海上安全问题的各个方
面，其第VI章A和B部分以及第VII章B部分分别含有适用于固体散货运输和固体散装危险货物
运输的强制性规定。《国际海运固体散货规则》扩充了这些规定的内容。
SOLAS公约第II-2章第10和19条纳入了载运固体散货船舶的具体防火布置。需注意经修
正的SOLAS公约第II-2/19.4条。根据该条规定，应向2002年7月1日或以后建造并载运该公约
第VII/7条所定义的固体散装危险货物（第6.2类和第7类除外）的船舶签发一份适当的证明，
作为其构造和设备符合第II-2/19条要求的证据。
对于
－ 1984年9月1日或以后，但在2002年7月1日以前建造的500总吨或以上的货船；或
－ 1992年2月1日或以后，但在2002年7月1日以前建造的小于500总吨的货船，
1974年SOLAS公约经海安会MSC.1(XLV)、MSC.6(48)、MSC.13(57)、MSC.22(59)、
MSC.24(60)、MSC.27(61)、MSC.31(63) and MSC.57(67)决议修正的第II-2/54条的要求适用
（见SOLAS公约第II-2/1.2条）。
对于1984年9月1日或以后，但在1992年2月1日以前建造的小于500总吨的货船，建议各
缔约国将此适用范围尽可能扩大到包括这些船舶。
在1960年国际海上人命安全大会上，代表们已认识到散装货物运输中存在的问题，但在
当时还不可能对谷物运输以外的其他散货规定详细的要求。然而在公约的附件D第55段中，
大会建议由国际海事组织（IMO）主持起草一个国际上可接受的散货装运安全操作规则。这
项工作由本组织集装箱和货物分委会承担，《固体散货安全操作规则》（BC规则）自1965年
初版以来，已出版多次。该分委会的工作已扩大至包括危险货物，其名称现为危险货物、固
体货物和集装箱分委会（DSC分委会）。
装运固体散货所涉及的各大危害都与货物分布不当、航行期间稳性丧失或减少以及货物
的化学反应造成的船舶结构破损相关。因此，本规则的主要目的是通过对装运某些种类固体
散货所涉及的危险提供信息并对筹划装运固体散货时所应采取的程序提供须知，便利固体散
货的安全积载和装运。关于谷物运输的要求见《国际散装谷物安全运输规则》（1991年国际
谷物规则）。
第页
已建议各国政府在按经修正的SOLAS公约履行其义务时，采纳海安会MSC.268(85)决议
通过的IMSBC规则，或将其用作国内法规的依据。按SOLAS公约的规定，本规则自2011年1
月1日起具有强制性。但是，本规则的某些部分保留其提供建议或信息的性质。需要强调的
是，在本规则的语境内，本规则在用到“应（Shall）”、“宜（Should）”和“可（May）”这些词
时,系指相关规定分别具有“强制性”、“建议性”和“可选性”。遵守本规则，就是协调所应遵循
的操作方法和程序以及海运固体散货的装载、平舱、运输和卸载所应采取的相应预防措施，
从而确保符合SOLAS公约的强制性规定。
本规则的编排和内容业经多次修改，以跟上业界的发展和进步。海上安全委员会(MSC)
经本组织大会授权通过本规则的修正案，使IMO能够迅速应对海运界的各种动向。
海安会在其第85届会议上同意，为便利安全运输固体散货起见，在本规则的各项规定于
2011年1月1日正式生效前，可从2009年1月1日起自愿执行本规则，而无任何过渡期。海安会
MSC.268(85)决议对此作了说明。

装载、运输和卸载一般预防措施
货物分布
2.1.1
概述
因固体散货装卸不当而发生的事故已经不少。应注意的是，固体散货须在全船范围内妥
为分布，使船舶具有足够稳性并确保船舶结构决不会受力过大。此外，托运人应按第4节的
规定向船长充分提供货物资料，以确保船舶妥善装货。①
2.1.2
防止船舶结构受力过大
普通货船的构造通常可使载运密度在满舱满载时达到1.39 m3/t至1.67 m3/t。当装载高密度
固体散货时，应特别注意重量的分布以避免应力过大，并考虑到装载工况可能与已查明正常
的工况不同以及货物分布不当可能使承载结构或整个船体处于受力状态。由于各船的结构布
置可能差别很大，为所有船舶作出确切的荷载分布规定是不切实际的。关于货物妥善分布的
资料可在船舶稳性资料手册内提供，或利用装载计算仪（如有）获得。
2.1.3
提高船舶稳性
2.1.3.1
根据SOLAS公约第II-1/22.1条的规定，所有受该公约约束的船舶均应备有稳性资料
手册。船长应能计算航程中预期最恶劣工况下的稳性和离港时的稳性，并证明具有足够稳性。
2.1.3.2
凡在甲板间货物处所或仅用货物处所的一部分载运的固体散货有容易移动的疑
问时，应安装具有足够强度的防移隔板和储存斗。
2.1.3.3 高密度货物应尽实际可能优先装在底舱货物处所，此后再考虑甲板间货物处所。
2.1.3.4
当有必要将高密度货物装在甲板间货物处所或更高的货物处所内时，应充分
考虑到确保甲
板区域不会受力过大，并且船舶稳性不会减至低于船舶稳性资料中规定的最低可接受水准。
2.2
装载和卸载
2.2.1 应按所要装载的特定货物，检查和准备货物处所。②

2.2.2
对需要特别准备的舱底污水井和滤板，应予以充分注意，以利于泄水和防止货物
进入舱底水系统。
2.2.3 货物处所内的舱底水管系、测深管和其他工作管系应处于良好状态。
2.2.4
考虑到某些高密度固体散货装载的速度，可能有必要特别注意保护货物处所的设
备不受损坏。在装货完成后对舱底水测深，可能是查出货物处所设备损坏的有效方式。
2.2.5
应尽实际可能在装载或卸货期间关闭或遮蔽通风系统并将空调系统置于空气循环
状态，以尽量减少进入生活区或其他内部处所的粉尘。
2.2.6 应充分考虑尽量减少粉尘与甲板机械的运转部分以及外部助航设备的接触。

人员和船舶的安全
一般要求
3.1.1 在装载、运输和卸载固体散货之前和期间，应遵守所有必要的安全预防措施。
3.1.2
本。①
3.2
每艘船舶均应备有涉及固体散装危险货物事故的应急反应和医疗急救须知的副
中毒、腐蚀和窒息危害
3.2.1 某些固体散货易于氧化，可能导致缺氧、散发有毒气体或烟气及自热。某些货物
不易氧化，但可能散发有毒烟气，特别是在潮湿时。也有货物在受潮后对皮肤、眼睛和粘膜
或对船舶结构有腐蚀作用。在载运这些货物时，应特别注意人员保护以及需要在装货前和卸
货后采取特别预防措施。
3.2.2 应妥为注意到货物处所及相邻处所可能缺氧，或可能含有毒性或窒息性气体，以
及空的货物处所或液舱关闭一段时间后，其内的氧气可能不足以维持生命。
3.2.3 很多固体散货易使货物处所或液舱缺氧。这些货物包括，但不限于大多数蔬菜制
品和林产品、黑色金属、金属硫化物精矿和货煤。
3.2.4 进入船上封闭处所之前，应遵守相应的程序，并考虑到本组织制定的建议。② 要
注意，在经测试后总体上查明可安全进入的货物处所或液舱中仍可能有小块区域氧气不足或
存在有毒烟气。
3.2.5 当载运易散发有毒或易燃气体并/或易使货物处所缺氧的固体散货时，应配备货物
处所内气体或氧气浓度的相应测量仪器。
3.2.6 应仅由穿戴自给式呼吸器和防护服的经培训的人员，并始终在一名负责高级船员
的监督下，承担紧急情况下进入货物处所的职责。
3.3
粉尘对健康的危害
为尽量减少因暴露于某些固体散货的粉尘而造成的慢性和急性危险，暴露于粉尘者需有
高标准的个人卫生，这一点无论怎样强调也不过份。应采取必要的预防措施，包括使用相应
的呼吸保护设备、防护服、护肤膏，充分冲洗人体和洗涤外衣。

易燃气体环境
某些固体散货产生的粉尘可能构成爆炸危害，特别是在装卸货物和清扫时。用通
风来防止形成含尘气体环境以及用软管冲洗而不用扫把清扫，能最大限度减少爆炸的风险。
3.4.2
某些货物可能散发的易燃气体量足以构成火灾或爆炸危害。如本规则的货物细目
或托运人提供的货物资料对此有说明，则货物处所必要时应进行有效通风。货物处所内的空
气应使用适宜的气体探测器进行监测。应充分考虑到与货物处所相邻的封闭处所的通风和空
气监测。
3.5
3.5.1
通风
除另有明文规定外，当载运可能散发有毒气体的货物时，货物处所应有机械或自
然通风；当载运可能散发易燃气体的货物时，货物处所应有机械通风。
3.5.2 如果保持通风会危及船舶或货物，则可中断通风，除非这会招致爆炸风险。
3.5.3
当本规则的货物细目或托运人提供的货物资料要求持续通风时，则货物在船上时
应保持通风，除非出现通风会危及船舶的情况。
3.5.4
拟运输要求持续通风的货物的货舱应有通风开口。通风开口应符合经修正的《载
重线公约》关于无关闭装置的开口的要求。
3.5.5
通风应使逸出后进入起居处所或其他内部处所的任何有害气体、蒸气或粉尘不会
达到有害浓度。应充分注意防止逸出的有害气体、蒸气或粉尘到达封闭的工作区域。应采取
充分的预防措施来保护这些工作区域的人员。

7.1
可流态化货物
引言
7.1.1 本节旨在提请船长和其他负责散货装载和运输者注意与流化相关的风险和最大限
度减少此风险的预防措施。这类货物在装载时可能呈现比较干燥的颗粒状态，但所含水分可
能足以使其在压实作用和航行期间出现的振动作用影响下变成流体。
7.1.2 船舶的运动会引起货物移动，这可能足以使船舶倾覆。货物移动可以分为两种类
型，即滑动失效或流化造成的后果。按第5节进行平舱能防止滑动失效。
7.1.3 某些可流态化货物也可能自热。
7.2
产生危害的条件
7.2.1 A组货物含有一定比例的小颗粒和一定水分。A组货物即使有粘性并已整平，在
航行期间仍可能流态化。流化会造成货物移动。对这一现象可作如下说明：
.1
随着货物因船舶的运动等而压实，颗粒之间的空隙体积减小；
.2
货物颗粒之间的空隙减小引起空隙内的水压增加；
.3
水压的增加减小了货物颗粒的摩擦，造成货物抗剪强度减小。
7.2.2 当达到下列条件之一时，流化不会发生：
.1
货物含有极小颗粒。在此情况下，颗粒的运动受到粘性的限制，货物颗粒
之间空隙内的水压不会增大；
.2
货物由大的颗粒和块体组成。水穿过颗粒之间的空隙，水压不会增大。完
全由大颗粒组成的货物不会流态化。
.3
货物所含空气的百分比高，含水量低。水压的增大受到抑制。干燥货物不易
流态化。
7.2.3 当含水量超过TML时，可能发生流化引起的货物移动。有些货物易有水分迁移，
即使平均含水量低于TML也可能形成危险的潮湿底层。尽管货物表面可能呈干燥状，仍有可
能发生流化而不被发现，造成货物移动。含水量高的货物易于滑动，特别在货物较浅且受到
较大横倾角影响时。
7.2.4 在所造成的粘滞性流体状态中，货物可能随着船舶横摇而流向一侧，但可能不会随
着船舶摇向另一侧而完全流回来。因此，船舶可能逐渐达到一个危险的倾侧度而突然之间倾覆。

可流态化货物的规定
7.3.1
概述
7.3.1.1 可流态化精矿和其他货物应在其实际含水量不超过TML时方可接受装载。尽管
有此规定，这类货物即使在其含水量超过TML时仍可接受用特别建造或装备的货船装载。
7.3.1.2 除罐装或类似包装的货物外，含有液体的货物不得在同一货物处所内的这些固
体散货的上面积载或与之相邻。
7.3.1.3
在航行期间应采取适当措施防止液体进入积载这些固体散货的货物处所。
7.3.1.4 应告诫船长注意在海上航行时用水冷却这些货物可能产生的危险。进水可能使
这些货物的含水量达到流动状态。必要时，应充分注意以喷洒方式用水。
7.3.2
特别建造或装备的货船
7.3.2.1
含水量超过TML的货物应仅用特别建造的船舶或特别装备的船舶载运。
7.3.2.2 特别建造的货船应有永久性结构限界，其布置可将货物的任何移动限制在可接
受的限度内。有关船舶应携带证据表明经主管机关批准。
7.3.2.3 特别装备的船舶应装有特别设计的可移动隔板，将货物的任何移动限制在可接
受的限度内。特别装备的货船应符合下列要求：
7.3.2.4
.1
这种特别装置的设计和安装，应不仅能充分约束高密度散货的流动所产生的
巨大力量，而且能满足将货物在货物处所横向流动引起的潜在倾侧运动减至
可接受的安全水平的需要。为符合这些要求所设的隔板不得用木材制作。
.2
必要时，船舶结构中围闭这种货物的构件应予以加强。
.3
特别装置的图纸和设计所依据的稳性条件细节应经主管机关批准。有关船舶
应携带证据表明经主管机关批准。
为认可这种船舶而向主管机关提交的资料应包括：
.1
相关结构图，包括按比例绘制的纵向和横向剖面图；
.2

表中数字对应的隔离术语如下：
1 “远离”：
将不相容物质有效隔离，使其在发生事故时不
会发生危险的相互作用，但只要最小水平隔距的垂
直投影达到3 m，仍可在同一货舱或舱室内或在甲
板上载运。
2 “隔离”：
当在甲板下积载时，装入不同的货舱中。只要
中间隔离甲板防火和防液，则垂向隔离，即在不同
舱室积载可视为与此隔离等效。
3 “用整个舱室或货舱隔离”：
系指垂向或水平隔离。如果甲板不防火和防
液，则仅可接受纵向隔离，即用介于中间的整个舱
室隔离。
4 “用介于中间的整个舱室或货舱纵向隔
离”：
如仅有垂向隔离，则不符合这一要求。

保 安 规 定
引言
本节的规定系针对散货在海上运输期间的保安问题。宜记住，作为散货装运的某些物
质，因其固有的性质，或在与其他物质混合装运时，可能在采取违法行为时作为所用武器的
组成部分或用以增强武器的威力（还宜记住，用于载运散货的船舶不论其所载运货物的性质
如何，也有可能用作擅自运输武器、燃烧装置或爆炸物的手段）。国家主管当局可采用在交
运或运输散货时宜予以考虑的附加保安规定。本节的规定仍为建议性的，但11.1.1除外。
11.1
11.1.1
公司、船舶和港口设施一般规定
经修正的SOLAS 74第XI-2章和ISPS规则A部分的相关规定应适用于从事散货装
卸和运输且适用经修正的SOLAS 74第XI-2章的公司、船舶和港口设施，并要考虑到ISPS规则
B部分的指南。

该货物在装载前应贮存7天。这能大为减少其在以后运输、贮存和搬运时发生自燃的
风险。
该货物装载前，船长应确保符合下列要求：
3.1 已对货物处所在露天甲板上的封闭装置进行检查以确保其完好，该封闭装置已
关闭并密封；
3.2 货物处所和相邻封闭处所内的所有电缆和电气组件无缺陷，可在易燃和/或粉
4.
尘空气中安全使用或已完全隔离。如机舱通过一道未设直接通道的气密舱壁与
货物处所隔离，则本条规定不必适用于机舱；
在货物区域和相邻处所内应禁止吸烟和使用明火，并应在显著位置张贴适当的警告
标志。应不准在货物处所附近或其他相邻处所燃烧、切割、铲凿、焊接或有其他火
源。
5. 该货物装载期间不得在超过一米高处向下放落，以最大限度减少粉尘和细粒的产生。
6. 如有可能，各货舱的装载不得中断。在敞开超过六天（或在30℃以上天气下少于六
天）的货物处所内，可能形成热点。
第91页
7.
离港前，应将货物表面合理整平至货物处所四周限界，以免形成气穴及防止空气透
入砖体，并使船长满意。进入货物处所的舱口围壁应充分密封。托运人应确保船长
能得到装货码头的必要合作。
8.
各货物处所在装货后应尽快关闭并密封。
预防措施
1.
船舶应有适当装备并携有适当仪器，不用进入货物处所就能测量下列数据：
.1
货物和敞开的货物处所封闭装置上方空气中的甲烷浓度；
.2
货物上方空气中的氧气浓度；
.3
货物上方空气中的一氧化碳浓度；
.4
货舱舱底水水样的pH值。
这些仪器应定期检定和校准。应对船上人员进行使用这类仪器的培训。
2.
建议配备货物温度监测装置，测量范围为0℃至100℃，以便在航行期间不用进入货
物处所就能测量货物温度。
运输
1.
在实际可行范围内，货物可能散发的任何气体不得在相邻的封闭处所（例如贮藏
室、木工间、过道、隧道等）内积聚。这类处所应充分通风并定期监测是否有甲
烷、氧气和一氧化碳。
2.
在航行期间除紧急情况外，任何情况下不得打开舱盖，对货物处所通风或进入货物
处所。
3.
应定期监测每一货物处所内货物上方空间空气的甲烷、氧气及一氧化碳的含量。
4.
监测的次数应根据托运人提供的资料和通过货物处所的空气分析所获得的资料确
定。监测至少应每天进行一次，且每天的测定时间尽量相同。监测结果应有记录。托
运人可要求增加监测次数，特别是在有证据表明航行途期间出现明显的自热情况时。
5.
下列问题应予以考虑：
5.1
在密封的货物处所内，氧气含量数天内将从最初的21%下降并稳定为大约6%至
15%的含量。如氧气含量没有降到20%以下，或者最初下降之后又迅速上升，
则货物处所可能没有充分密封并有自燃的风险。
5.2
在密封良好的安全货物处所内，一氧化碳含量将增加，其浓度将在百万分(ppm)
之200至2000之间波动。该货物的一氧化碳含量如在24小时内迅速增加约1000
ppm，则可能表明发生了自燃，特别是在伴有甲烷含量增加时。
5.3
褐煤砖货物的甲烷成分通常很少，所占比例不足5 ppm且不会构成危害。但如
甲烷含量突然且持续上升至高于10 ppm的浓度，则表明货舱内发生了自燃。
第92页
5.4
在封闭良好的货物处所内，该货物的温度通常比海水温度高出5至10℃，温度
增加的原因是昼间通常有少量空气透入货物处所。检查货物处所封条以尽量减少空
气渗入是极为重要的。如温度在24小时内迅速升高约20℃，即证明发生了自燃。
6.
应定期对货舱的舱底水进行系统的检测，如pH值监测表明存在腐蚀的风险，船长应
确保所有舱底在航行期间保持干燥，以免酸可能在内底和舱底水系统内积聚。
7.
当货物在航行期间的性状与货物资料所述不同时，船长应向托运人报告这种差异。
这类报告将使托运人能保持该货物性状的记录，以便按运输经验复核提供给船长的
资料。
8.
当船长对货物所显示的任何自热或自燃迹象（如上述甲烷、一氧化碳或氧气的浓度
增加或温度升高）感到不安时，则应采取下列措施：
8.1
咨询装货港的船方代理。应立即通知公司指定的岸上人员。
8.2
检查货物处所封条，必要时重新加封。
8.3
不要进入货物处所且不要打开舱口，除非船长认为事关船舶安全及人命安全而
有必要开通。当船舶任何人员已进入某一货物处所时，应在其撤离该货物处所
后立即将该货物处所重新加封。
8.4
在可行时，增加气体成分及货物温度的监测次数。
8.5
为获取专家意见，尽快将下列信息送达船东或装货港的船方代理：
.1
所涉及货物处所的数量；
.2
一氧化碳、甲烷和氧气浓度的监测结果；
.3
货物温度、测量位置和获取结果所用方法（如有）；
.4
进行气体分析的时间（监测程序）；
.5
所涉及货物处所内的货物数量；
.6
托运人申报单中的货物说明及该申报单中指出的特别预防措施；
.7
装载日期及抵达预定卸货港的预计到达时间（ETA）（应具体说明）；和
.8
船长认为相关的任何其他意见或注意事项。
卸货
在卸货前及卸货期间：
1.
货物处所的关闭状态应保持到其卸货正要开始前为止。可用细水雾喷洒货物以减少
粉尘。
2.
未经检测货物上方的空气，人员不得进入货物处所。人员进入空气含氧量小于21%
的货物处所，应戴上自给式呼吸器。在进入货物处所前，还应检测二氧化碳和一氧
化碳含量。一氧化碳的建议极限阈值（TLV）为50 ppm。
3.
在卸货期间，应注意货物有无热点（即蒸发）迹象。如果发现有一热点，该区域应
喷洒细水雾，并应立即消除该热点以防止其扩散。热点货物应在码头上远离其余货
物处铺开。
4.
在该货物的卸货要中止八小时前，应关闭舱口盖和货物处所的所有其他通风设备。
第93页
褐煤砖货物的气体监测程序
1
注意事项
1.1
按下列程序进行一氧化碳监测，将可靠且及早表明该货物的自热情况。这就可以使
防范措施的考虑不受耽搁。如探测到货物处所的一氧化碳含量突然快速上升，特别是如还伴
随甲烷含量的增加，则肯定表明正在发生自热。
1.2
所有从事该货物运输的船舶均须携带一种测量甲烷、氧气和一氧化碳气体浓度的仪
器，以能监测货物处所的空气。该仪器应按制造商的说明书定期检定和校准。未经通风货舱
的氧气浓度往往很低，在理解此处的甲烷测量值时应谨慎。通常用于探测甲烷的催化式传感
器要有充分的氧气才能精确测量。对测量一氧化碳或用红外传感器测量甲烷，此现象并无影
响。可从仪器制造商获得更多指导。
2
采样和测量程序
2.1
2.1.1
设备
载运该货物的船舶应配备一种能测量甲烷、氧气和一氧化碳浓度的仪器。该仪器
应装有一个抽吸器、柔性接管和一段防火花金属管，以能从舱口范围内获得代表性样品。
2.1.2
当制造商有建议时，应使用一个合适的滤器来保护该仪器不让水分进入。即使存
在小量水分，也将有损测量精度。
2.2
2.2.1
采样点位置的确定
为就该货物在货物处所内的性状获得有意义的资料，对每一货物处所均应通过一
个采样点进行气体测量。但为确保在恶劣天气下灵活进行测量，每一货物处所均应设有两个
采样点，一个在舱口盖或舱口围板的左舷侧，另一个右舷侧（参见气体采样点示意图）。从
这两个位置中的任一位置进行测量均妥。
第94页
气体采样点示意图
2.2.2
每一采样点应由一个直径约12 mm的测量孔构成，尽可能靠近舱口围板顶部。该
孔应用一封帽密封以防水和空气进入。极为重要的是，每次测量后要将封帽放回原处盖紧以
保持严密封闭。
2.2.3 任何采样点的设置均不得有损船舶的适航性。
2.3
测量
对测量程序解释如下：
.1
卸下封帽，将刚性管插入采样点，上紧该管所附的封帽以确保充分密封；
.2
将测量仪与采样管连接；
.3
用抽吸器通过该管抽取空气样品，直到取得稳定读数；
.4
将结果记入表中，载明每次测量的货舱、日期和时间；和
.5
将封帽放回原处。

录
煤
特性和特征
1.
煤可能散发易燃气体甲烷。含有5%至16%甲烷的甲烷/空气混合物构成一种爆炸性空
气，能被火花或明火点燃，例如电火花或摩擦火花、火柴或点燃的香烟。甲烷比空
气轻，因而可能在货物处所或其他封闭处所的上部积聚。如果货物处所的限界不气
密，甲烷能渗入货物处所的相邻处所。
2.
煤可能易于氧化，导致货物处所缺氧和二氧化碳或一氧化碳浓度增加。一氧化碳是
一种无嗅气体，比空气稍轻，在空气中的易燃范围按体积百分比计为12%至75%。
吸入后有毒害，与血红蛋白的亲和力超过氧气200倍以上。
3.
有些煤可能自热，而自热可能在货舱内导致自燃。可能产生易燃有毒气体，包括一
氧化碳。
4.
有些煤可能易于与水发生反应，并产生可能引起腐蚀的酸。可能产生易燃和有毒气
体，包括氢。氢是一种无嗅气体，比空气轻得多，在空气中的易燃范围按体积百分
比计为4%至75%。
隔离和积载要求
1.
除另有明文规定外，载运该货的货物处所的限界应能防火和防液。
2.
该货物应与第1（第1.4）、2、3、4和5类包装货物“隔离”（见《IMDG规则）并与第
4和5.1类固体散装物质“隔离”。
3.
应禁止在该货物的上方或下方积载第5.1类包装货物或第5.1类固体散装物质。
4.
船长应确保该货物不在与热区域相邻之处积载。
5.
该货物应与第1类（第1.4类除外）货物“用介于中间的整个舱室或货舱纵向隔离”。
注：对这些术语的解释，见第9节。
对这些货物所有种类的一般要求
1.
装载前，托运人或其指定代理应书面向船长提供货物的特征以及有关货物装载和运
输的安全操作程序建议。作为最低限度，应说明货物合同中有关含水量、硫含量和
大小的规定，特别是货物是否可能易散发甲烷或自热。
2.
2.1
装载前，船长应确保符合下列要求：
所有货物处所和舱底污水井清洁并干燥。废弃物质或原先货物的任何残留物已清
除，包括可拆卸的护货板；和
2.2
货物处所和相邻封闭处所内的所有电缆及电器组件无缺陷，能在爆炸性空气中安全
使用或已完全隔离。如机舱通过一道未设直接通道的气密舱壁与货物处所隔离，则本
条规定不必适用于机舱。
第115页
3.
4.
船舶应有适当装备并携有适当仪器，不用进入货物处所就能测量下列数据：
.1
空气中的甲烷浓度；
.2
空气中的氧气浓度；
.3
空气中的一氧化碳浓度；和
.4
货物处所舱底水水样的pH值。
这些仪器应定期检定和校准。应对船上人员进行使用这类仪器的培训。气体测量程
序详见本附录末尾。
5.
建议配备货物温度测量装置，测量范围为0℃至100℃，以便在装载和航行期间不用
进入货物处所就能测量货物的温度。
6.
在货物区域和相邻处所内应禁止吸烟和使用明火，并应在显著位置张贴适当的警告
标志。应不准在货物处所附近或其他相邻处所燃烧、切割、铲凿、焊接或有其他火
源，除非该处所已妥为通风且甲烷气体测量表明可安全进行这类作业。
7.
离港前，应将货物表面合理整平至货物处所四周限界，以免形成气穴及防止空气透
入煤体。进入货物处所的舱口围壁应充分密封。托运人应确保船长能得到装货码头
的必要合作。
8.
应定期监测每一货物处所内货物上方空间空气的甲烷、氧气和一氧化碳的含量。气
体监测程序详见本附录末尾。监测结果应有记录。监测的次数应根据托运人提供的
资料和通过货物处所的空气体分析所获得的资料确定。
9.
除另有明文规定外，所有载运该货的货物处所在离开装货港后的最初24小时均应进
行表面通风。在此期间内，应从每一货物处所的一个采样点对各货物处所的空气进
行一次监测，且就气体检测而言，应在气体监测前将通风停止一段适当的时间。
10.
当离港后24小时内监测到的甲烷浓度处于可接受的低水平时，则应关闭通风开口并
应监测货物处所的空气。当离港后24小时内监测到的甲烷浓度处于并非处于可接受
的低水平时，则应保持表面通风（气体监测的相应时段除外），并应监测货物处所
的空气。应遵循这一程序，直至甲烷浓度减到可接受的低水平。无论如何，均应每
天监测货物处所的空气。
11. 当随后观察到未通风货物处所的甲烷浓度相当高时，则应适用散发甲烷的煤的相应
特别预防措施。
12.
船长应尽实际可能确保，该货物可能散发的任何气体不在相邻封闭处所内积聚。
13.
船长应确保定期监测贮藏室、木工间、过道、隧道等封闭处所是否存在甲烷、氧气
和一氧化碳。这类处所应充分通风。
14.
在载运该货物的航行期间，应定期对货舱的舱底水进行系统的检测。如pH值监测
表明存在腐蚀的风险，则应在航行期间经常泵出舱底水，以防酸可能在内底和舱底
水系统内积聚。
第116页
15.
如货物在航行期间的性状与货物申报单所述不同，船长应向托运人报告这种差异。
这类报告将使托运人能保持货煤性状的记录，以便按运输经验复核提供给船长的资料。
特别预防措施
1
散发甲烷的煤
当托运人已告知货物易散发甲烷或货物处所空气的分析表明甲烷含量超过爆炸下限
（LEL）20%时，应采取下列附加预防措施：
.1
应保持充分的表面通风，但气体监测的相应时段除外。
.2
由于任何原因（包括卸货）而操作舱口盖或其他开口前，应仔细消除积聚的任何气
体。应谨慎操作货物处所舱口盖或其他开口，以免产生火花。应禁止吸烟和使用明
火。
.3
人员应不准进入货物处所或相邻封闭处所，除非该处所经过通风并经检测查明其所
含气体安全且含有足以维持生命的氧气。尽管有这些规定，在紧急情况下仍可准许
不经通风和空气检测或既不通风也不检测空气即进入货物处所，但应在一名负责高
级船员的监督下，仅由经培训的人员戴上自给式呼吸器进入货物处所，并应遵守特
别预防措施以确保不将火源带入货物处所。
.4
船长应确保定期监测贮藏室、木工间、过道、隧道等封闭处所是否存在甲烷。这类
处所应充分通风而且如系机械通风，应仅使用能在爆炸性空气中安全使用的设备。
2
自热煤
当托运人已告知货物可能自热或货物处所空气的分析表明一氧化碳浓度增大，则应采取
下列附加预防措施：
.1
各货物处所应在每一货物处所的装载完成后立即关闭。舱口盖还可用适当的密封带
另行密封。应仅准许自然表面通风，且通风应限制在为消除可能已积有的甲烷所需
的绝对最少时间内。
.2
航行期间人员不得进入货物处所，除非在危及人命安全和船舶安全时并戴上自给式
呼吸器才能进入货物处所。
.3
装载前，应监测货物的温度。该货物应在其温度不高于55℃时方可接受装载。
.4
当一氧化碳含量稳定增加，则潜在的自热可能正在发生。在此情况下，货物处所应
完全关闭并停止一切通风，且船长应立即征询专家意见。在海上不得用水冷却货煤
或扑灭煤火，但可用水冷却货物处所限界。
.5
当任一货物处所的一氧化碳含量达到50 ppm或连续三天稳定上升时，则某种自热状
况可能正在发生且如要对情况作出准确评估，船长应至少将下列信息告知托运人和
船公司：

船长提供的意见或注意事项。
重力输送自卸式散货船
3.1
重力输送自卸式散货船系指在各货舱底部设有重力输送系统的船舶，利用可以打开
或关闭的货门将货物送到传送带上。传送带在货舱以下沿船舶首尾方向运转；货物从该处通
过传送系统送至甲板，用能伸到岸上并配有传送带的自卸式吊杆卸到岸上。这不适用于设有
起重机和抓斗等卸载系统的船舶。
3.2
3.3
当该货物用重力输送自卸式散货船载运时，本附录的下列要求不必适用：
–
“隔离和积载要求”之1；和
–
“对这些货物所有种类的一般要求”之9。
货物空气监测用载货航行程序
3.3.1 散装货煤安全程序
3.3.1.1
本要求在该货物用重力输送自卸式散货船载运时适用。建议由船舶经营者向船
舶提供一份文件（如流程图），说明该货物的装卸作业和载运程序。
3.4
通风
3.4.1 在通风时，应确保不会有过多空气进入货煤体内，因这最终可能促进自燃。
3.4.2
由于正好位于隧道上方的货物料斗底部设有不气密的卸货门，应使用下列通风方
法：
–
如在隧道内探测到甲烷，应“正压”通风（隧道内的送风量大于排风量，以消
–
除甲烷气体）；和
如在隧道内探测到一氧化碳，应“负压”通风（隧道内的排风量大于送风量，
以消除一氧化碳）。一氧化碳的释放可能表明发生自热。
第118页
货煤的气体监测程序
1
注意事项
1.1
按下列程序进行一氧化碳监测，将可靠且及早表明该货物的自热情况。这就可以使
防范措施的考虑不受耽搁。
如探测到货物处所的一氧化碳含量稳定上升，则肯定表明正在发生自热。
1.2
所有从事该货物运输的船舶均须携带一种测量甲烷、氧气和一氧化碳气体浓度的仪
器，以能监测货物处所的空气。该仪器应按制造商的说明书定期检定和校准。未经通风货舱
的氧气浓度往往很低，在理解此处的甲烷测量值时应谨慎。通常用于探测甲烷的催化式传感
器要有充分的氧气才能精确测量。对测量一氧化碳或用红外传感器测量甲烷，此现象并无影
响。可从仪器制造商获得更多指导。
2
采样和测量程序
2.1
2.1.1
设备
载运该货物的船舶应配备一种能测量甲烷、氧气和一氧化碳浓度的仪器。该仪器
应装有一个抽吸器、柔性接管和一段防火花金属管，以能从舱口范围内获得代表性样品。
2.1.2
当制造商有建议时，应使用一个合适的滤器来保护该仪器不让水分进入。即使存
在小量水分，也将有损测量精度。
2.2
2.2.1
采样点位置的确定
为就该货物在货物处所内的性状获得有意义的资料，对每一货物处所均应通过一
个采样点进行气体测量。为确保在恶劣天气下灵活进行测量，每一货物处所均应设有两个采
样点，一个在舱口盖或舱口围板的左舷侧，另一个右舷侧（参见气体采样点示意图）。从这
两个位置中的任一位置进行测量均妥。
第119页
气体采样点示意图
2.2.2 每一采样点应由一个直径约12 mm的测量孔构成，尽可能靠近舱口围板顶部。该
孔应用一封帽密封以防水和空气进入。极为重要的是，每次测量后要将封帽放回原处盖紧以
保持严密封闭。
2.2.3 任何采样点的设置均不得有损船舶的适航性。
2.3
测量
对测量程序的解释如下：
.1
.2
.3
.4
.5
2.4
卸下封帽，将防火花金属管插入采样点，上紧套环以确保充分密封；
将测量仪与采样管连接；
用抽吸器通过该管抽取空气样品，直到取得稳定读数；
将结果记入表中，载明每次测量的货舱、日期和时间；和
将封帽放回原处。
测量对策
按气体浓度的测量来识别初始自热，这在未通风条件下更容易做到。该方法并非总是可
取，因为甲烷可能积聚到危险的浓度。这主要是，但不完全是航程早期阶段的问题。因此建
议一开始就对货物处所通风，直至甲烷的实测浓度达到可接受的低水平。
第120页
2.5
未通风货舱内的测量
作为预防措施，在正常条件下每天测量一次即够。但如一氧化碳含量高于30 ppm，则应
按适当间隔时间将次数增至每天至少两次。任何附加测量结果均应记入航海日志。
2.6
已通风货舱内的测量
2.6.1 如因存在甲烷而要求通风筒保持打开状态，则应执行不同的程序，使任何初始自
热刚开始就能发现。
2.6.2 为获得有意义的数据，在测量前应将通风筒关闭一段时间。这段时间的选择可与
船舶的操作要求相适应，但建议不少于四小时。关闭时间无论选在哪个时段均应持续不断，
这对数据解读十分重要。这些测量应每天进行。
2.7
重力输送自卸式散货船货物处所和自卸式处所内的测量
2.7.1 未通风货物处所和自卸式处所内的测量
2.7.1.1
通风。
当托运人已申报货煤具有或可能具有自热特征时，货舱除本节另有规定外不得
2.7.1.2 作为预防措施，在正常条件下每天测量一次即够。如一氧化碳含量高于30
ppm，则应按适当间隔时间将测量次数增至每天至少两次。任何附加测量结果均应记入航海
日志。
2.7.1.3 如任一货舱的一氧化碳含量稳定上升或达到50 ppm，则某种自热状况可能正在
发生，应按程序所述通知船东。如超过此含量，船舶即应进行“负压”通风，以减少一氧化碳
量。应继续定期监测一氧化碳含量。
2.7.1.4
处所。①
不戴自给式呼吸器的人员不得进入一氧化碳含量高于30 ppm的货物处所或卸货
2.7.2 已通风货物处所和自卸式处所内的测量
2.7.2.1 如通过监测发现存在甲烷而要求通风，则应执行不同的程序，使任何可能的自
热刚开始就能发现。应进行“正压”或“贯穿”通风以消除甲烷。
2.7.2.2 为获得有意义的数据，在测量前应将通风筒和/或通风关闭一段时间。这段时间
的选择可与船舶的操作要求相适应，但建议不少于四小时。关闭时间无论选在哪个时段均应
持续不断，这对数据解读十分重要。这些测量应每天进行。如测量结果表明一氧化碳含量稳
定上升或超过50 ppm，应通知船东。

当有船员在自卸式处所内时，无论何时均不得关闭通风；
–
船舶可能需要专用灭火设备和/或程序；
–
为重力输送自卸式散货船规定具体的船员培训内容。

人员不得进入已装载的货物处所或相邻封闭处所，除非该处所经过通风并经检测查明其所含
气体安全且含有足以维持生命的氧气。尽管如此，在紧急情况下仍可准许不经通风和空气检
测或既不通风也不检测空气即进入货物处所，但应在一名负责高级船员的监督下，仅由经培
训的人员戴上自给式呼吸器进入货物处所，且不将火源带入货物处所。
装载前，应安排从内底层面注入干燥惰性气体，使惰性气体驱除货物内的空气并充满货
物上方的自由容积。为此最好用氮气。所有透气口，出入通道和舱口围板泄水孔之类会让惰
性气体从载运该货的货物处所流失的其他开口应关闭并密封。
船舶应有设备确保在整个航行期间达到本规则关于将氧浓度保持为小于5%的要求。船舶
的固定式CO2灭火系统不得用于此目的。应考虑为船舶提供按航程持续时间，用另行储备的
惰性气体注满货物处所的设备。
船舶应有设备在航行期间可靠测量货堆内部多点温度并确定货物处所空气中氢和氧的浓
度。应采取相应措施尽实际可能将惰性气体的损失减至最低限度。
任何货物如在装入货物处所后除其天然含水量外又另外接触淡水或海水且变得潮湿，或
其内部开始发生反应且其温度超过120℃，应随即卸下。
货物处所在装载完成后应立即关闭和密封。随后应注入足够的惰性气体，使整个货物处
所的氧浓度小于5%。
船舶在船长和装货港国家主管机关认可的一名主管人员对下列各点确认前不得开航：
.1
所有已装载的货物处所均已密封和惰化；
.2
所有测量点的货物温度均已稳定且不超过65℃；和
.3
惰化过程结束时，货舱内自由空间的氢浓度已稳定且按体积计不超过0.2%。

为测量氢和氧的含量，该货物载运期间船上应有合适的探测器。探测器应适合在缺氧的
空气中使用，且为经核准在爆炸性空气中使用的安全类型。载运该货的货物处所中的氢和氧
的浓度应在航行期间定期测量，测量结果应有记录并在船上保存至少2年。
装有该货的货物处所应通过注满惰性气体，将氧浓度在航程持续期间始终保持为小于
5%。
货物温度应在航行期间定期测量，测量结果应有记录并在船上保存至少2年。如货物处
所的温度超过65℃或监测到的氢浓度按体积计超过1%（> 25% LEL），则在紧急情况下应按
托运人提供的程序采取相应的安全预防措施。如有疑问，应征询专家意见。
应定期检查舱底污水井是否有水。如发现舱底污水井有水，应用泵将水抽除或把水泄
完。在坏天气过后，应考虑增加货物监测的次数。所有测量均应进行，以尽实际可能将货物
处所惰性气体的损失减至最低限度。
卸货
在对舱口盖进行任何开启操作前，应先测量货物处所的氢浓度。如氢浓度按体积计大于
1%（> 25% LEL），则在紧急情况下应遵照托运人提供的程序或主管当局的建议采取一切相
应的安全预防措施。如有疑问，应征询专家意见。
在降水期间，货物所有装卸作业均应中止，装有货物的货舱均应关闭。应恢复监测装有
货物的货舱的氢浓度。
清扫
该货物在甲板或货物处所近旁积聚的粉尘应尽快除去。宜避免用海水冲洗。应考虑仔

第252页
附
录
废金属
该货物的装卸方式不一，有磁铁式也有抓斗式，通常视货物的大小而定。该货物所包括
的物品，其大小可能如车身一般，也可能小如细碎金属切屑（金属碎屑）。单件重量也会有
很大差别，大到重型机械小到易拉罐。
装载
装载前，应按一般装载操作方式准备好货物处所。任何易受掉落货物损坏的区域均应用
舱垫加以保护。这包括货物进入货物处所时经过的甲板和舱口围板。可取的做法是拆除船舷
护栏。
应在舱口范围的内底仔细铺上一层该货物，以减少脱落物的冲击。应向磁铁或抓斗的操
作员说明，不要在离货堆太高的位置释放载荷。
通常的装载方法是沿船舶的中心线卸成一堆，利用坡度使货物滚到两端和两侧。须尽最
大努力推向两舷和两端以使货物重量均匀分布。如未达到这种状况，重量轻而体积大的货块
就会滚到两侧，体积小而重量大的货块则会集中在舱口范围内。
当抽除舱底污水井的水时，船长应意识到预计会有来自旧机器的一定数量污垢和油。可
能存在碎玻璃和锋利的锯齿状边缘，在废金属附近工作的人员应小心。
舱口关闭前，应检查货物处所以防锋利突出物刺破船舷。

实验室试验程序、相关器具和标准
可流态化货物的试验程序和相关器具
目前有三种通用的适运水分极限（TML）试验方法：
.1
流盘试验；
.2
压入试验；
.3
普氏/法氏试验。
由于每种方法各有优点，宜按当地操作方式或由有关当局选定试验方法。
1.1
流盘试验程序
1.1.1 适用范围
流盘一般适合最大粒度为1 mm的精矿或其他细粒物质。也可适用于最大粒度达到7 mm
的物质。不适合颗粒大于此限的物质，并且测试结果对于某些粘土含量高的物质可能也不理
想。如流盘试验不适合所要试验的物质，则采用的试验程序宜为港口国管理机构批准的程
序。
下述试验用于测定：
.1
货物样品（下文称为试验物质）的含水量；
.2
试验物质在流盘撞击力或循环力作用下的流动水分点（FMP）；和
.3
试验物质的适运水分极限。
1.1.2 器具（见图1.1.2）
.1
标准流盘和框架（ASTM所用名称（C230-68）– 见3）。
第300页

流盘及附属器具
.2
流盘的安装（ASTM所用名称（C230-68）– 见3）。
.3
模具（ASTM所用名称（C230-68）– 见3）。
.4
夯具（见图1.1.2.4）：所需的夯实压力可利用经校准的受压弹簧式夯具（示例见图
1.1.2.4）或其
他某种设计合适的，通过直径为30 mm的夯头施加受控压力的夯具达到。
.5
天平与法码（ASTM所用名称（C109-73）– 见3）及合适的装样容器。
.6
容量分别为100 – 200 ml和10 ml的玻璃刻度量筒和量管。
.7
一个直径约为30 cm的半球形搅拌碗、橡皮手套和烘干盘或锅。或者，可以用一个
容量相似的自
动搅拌器进行搅拌。在此情况下，宜注意确保这种机械搅拌器的使用不会缩减试验
物质的粒度或密度。
.8
一个最高温度约为110℃的控温烘干炉，该炉宜无空气循环。
第301页
图1.2.2.4
受压弹簧式夯具示例
1.1.3 温度和湿度
最好在能使样品不受超限温度、气流和湿度变化影响的房间内工作。物质准备的所有阶
段和试验程序宜在一个合理的时间范围内完成，以尽量减少水分损失，而且无论在任何在当
天完成。如有可能，装样容器宜用塑料薄膜遮盖或有其他合适的遮盖。
1.1.4 试验程序
流动水分试验所需的物质数量按试验物质的比重而有区别。其范围为煤约需2 kg，精矿
约需3 kg等等。所收集的物质宜为所装运货物的代表性样品。经验表明通过确保试样的含水
量增至而非减至FMP，所得试验结果将更为准确。
第302页
因此，建议一般按下述方式进行流动水分预备试验以表明试样的状况，即含水量和加水
速率以及在开始流动水分主试验前是否宜将样品风干减少其含水量。
1.1.4.1
试样的准备
将试验物质的代表性样品放入搅拌碗充分搅拌。按下述方式从搅拌碗中取出（A）、
（B）和（C）三个子样：宜将大约五分之一样品（A）立即称重并放入烘干炉以确定试样
“收到时”的含水量。然后宜再取两份子样，各约为总重的五分之二，其中一份（B）用于预
备试验，另一份（C）用于测定FMP的主试验：
.1 装填模具。将模具放在流盘的中央，分三步装填取自搅拌器的物质。第一次装填
经夯实后宜装至约占模具深度的三分之一。为此所需的试样数量随试验物质的不
同有区别，但对所试验物质的填密特性取得一些经验后就容易确定。
第二次装填经夯实后宜装至约占模具深度的三分之二，第三次即最后一次装填经夯
实后宜正好装至模具顶部下面（见图1.1.4.2）。
.2
夯实程序。夯实所要达到的压实度与所试验物质装货上船后通常的底部密实度相
似。施加的正确压力按下式计算：
夯实压力（Pa） =
散货密度（kg/m3）
× 货物最大深度（m）
× 重力加速度（m/s2）
对含水量为装载时建议数值的货物样品，散货密度能用ASTM标准D-698或JIS-A-1210
所述的普氏C器具经单次试验测出。
在计算夯实压力时如无货物深度的资料，则宜用可能的最大深度。
或者，可从表1.1.4.1中估算压力。
夯实动作次数（每次均施加正确、稳定的压力）宜为底层约35次，中层约25次，
顶层约20次，每层均连续夯及整个面积直至试样边缘，以形成均匀的平整表面。
.3
取出模具。轻拍模具侧面至其松动，将截锥形试样留在流盘上。

l.l.4.2 流动水分预备试验
.1
取出模具后，立即将流盘从12.5 mm高度以每分钟25次的速率升落50次。如物
质含水量低于FMP，则其通常随流盘的连续下落而碎裂和颠成碎块(见图1.1.4-3)。
.2
在此阶段停住流盘，将物质放回搅拌碗并在其表面喷洒5 – 10 ml或更多的水，用
戴橡皮手套的手指或自动搅拌器充分搅拌。
再次装填模具，按1.1.4.2.1所述方式操作流盘至多50次。如未出现流动状态，则再
加水重复该过程，直至达到流动状态。
.3
流动状态的识别。流盘的撞击作用使颗粒重新排列，质地变得密实。结果，物
质按任一特定程度所含水分的固定体积占总体积的百分比增加了。当试样的含水
量和密实状况所产生的饱和度使塑性变形出现，则视为已达到流动状态①。在此阶
段，试样的模制边可能变形，造成中凸或中凹外形（见图1.1.4-4）。
____________________
①
在某些情况下，锥体的直径可能在达到流动水分点前截就会增加，这是由于颗粒之间的轻微摩擦，而
不是由于塑性流动。不得将此误认为流动状态。
第304页
随着流盘的反复动作，试样继续塌落并向外流动，某些物质的顶面还可能出现裂
缝。但是，裂缝中出现自由水分并非表明产生了流动状态。在多数情况下，测量
变形有助于确定是否发生了塑性流动。样规对此是一种有用的基准，例如它会指
出锥体任何部分的直径在3 mm以内的增加幅度。进行另外一些观察可能有用。例
如：当（正在增加的）含水量FMP时，试样锥体开始出现粘附在模具上的倾向。
此外，将试样推出流盘时，试样可能在流盘上留下水迹（水纹）。如看到这种水
纹，则含水量可能高于FMP。没有水迹（水纹）并非必定表明含水量低于FMP。
测量锥体底部或中部的直径总是有用的。以0.4%至0.5%的增量加水，将流盘下落
25次，通常直径首先增加1至5 mm,再次加水后，底部直径会增大5至10 mm。
.4
对于许多精矿，可以用下述方式替代上述程序来快速查明近似FMP：
当含水量肯定超过FMP时，将流盘下落25次后测量锥体直径，加水后重复进行
试验，测量锥体直径并按图1.1.4-1所示画一示意图，对照含水量标出直径的增加
点线。经过直径和含水量这二点画一直线穿过含水量轴线，两线交点即是近似
FMP。
完成了FMP预备试验后，将主试验所用试样的含水量按要求调至低于流动点（约低1%至
2%）。
1.1.4.3 流动水分主试验
当在预备试验中已达到流动状态时，将子样（C）的含水量调至比预备试验中未引起流
动的最后值约低1%至2%（提此建议仅为避免主试验开始时过于接近FMP而不得不浪费时间
进行风干后重新开始）。然后对该经过调整的试样进行最后的试验，方式与预备试验相同，
但在此情况下以不超过试验物质重量0.5%的增量加水（“预备”FMP越低，加水量宜越少）。
在每一阶段后，全部模制试样宜放入容器中，立即称重，需要时留作测定水分用。如试样流
动或下一个湿度稍大的试样流动，这就很有必要。如不需要，可将其放回搅拌碗。
当已达到流动状态时，宜测定两份试样的含水量，一份的含水量正好高于FMP，另一份
的含水量正好低于FMP。此两值之差宜为0.5%或更小，FMP取为这两个值平均值。

含水量的测定
引言
应注意，对于许多物质，国际上和国家有公认的测定含水量的方法。应采用这些方法或
己经证明给出同等结果的方法。
第307页
精矿和类似物质
将试样干燥到恒定质量显然是重要的。实际工作中是在105℃下经过一段适当的干燥时
间后，按数小时间隔时间将试样连续称重来确定这一状态。如质量保持恒定，则干燥已完
成，而如质量仍在减少，则宜继续干燥。
干燥时间的长短取决于许多可变因素，例如物质在炉中的放置、使用的容器类型、粒
度、传热率等。5个小时对一种精矿试样可能是充裕的，而对另一种则可能不足。硫化物精
矿有氧化的倾向，因此对这些物质不建议使用有空气循环系统的烘干炉，试样在烘干炉中的
留置时间也不宜多于4小时。
煤
测定含水量的推荐方法为ISO 589-1974“硬煤 – 总含水量的测定”中所述的方法。宜采用
该方法或已证明能得出同等结果的方法。
含水量、FMP和适运水分极限的计算：
m1取为“收到时”子样的精确质量（见1.1.4.1），
m2取为“收到时”子样干燥后的精确质量，
m3取为试样正好达到流动状态后的精确质量（见1.1.4.3），
m4取为试样正好达到流动状态后经干燥的精确质量，
m5取为试样正要达到流动状态前的精确质量（见1.1.4.3），
m6取为试样正要达到流动状态前经干燥的精确质量，
于是：
.1
精矿“收到时”含水量为：
( m1 − m2 )
×100 ，以百分比为单位
m1
.2
（1.1.4.4.1）
该物质的FMP为：
( m3 − m4 ) m5 − m6
+
m3
m5
×100 ，以百分比为单位

.3
该物质的适运水分极限为FMP的90%。
第308页
（1.1.4.4.2）
泥煤苔
对所有泥煤苔，使用ASTM或CEN（20升）方法测定散货密度。
为获得正确的TML，泥煤苔密度按干重计宜为90 kg/m3左右。
如1.1.1所示，宜测定以下各值：
.1
货样的含水量（MC）；
.2
流动水分点（FMP）；
.3
适运水分极限（TML）。TML的测定方式如下：
1.2
.3.1
对散货密度按干重计大于90 kg/m3的泥煤苔，TML为FMP的85%；和
.3.2
对散货密度按干重计为90 kg/m3或以下的泥煤苔，TML为FMP的90%。
压入试验程序
压入试验的程序是使一种物质在筒形容器中振动。流动水分点根据指示器的压入深度来
确定。
1.2.1 适用范围
.1
压入试验一般适合于精矿、类似物质以及最大粒度为25 mm的煤。
.2
按本程序试验时，筒形容器内的试样经受2g rms ± 10%（g = 重力加速度）垂向振
动6分钟。如放在试样表面的一个压入棒的压入深度超过50 mm，则判定试样的含
水量大于流动水分点。
.3
本程序由获得流动水分点近似值的预备试验和精确测定流动水分点的主试验构
成。当已知流动水分点的近似值时，预备试验可以免去。
.4
试样的试验室宜按1.1.3所述进行准备。

振动器（见图1.2.2.2）有一台面能将筒形容器夹住，宜能激发30 kg质量以50 Hz或
60 Hz频率作3 g rms或更高的加速，且振动器能受到控制以调节加速程度。
.3
筒形容器的尺寸（见图1.2.2.3-1和1.2.2.3-2）如下：

容器应由具有适当刚性、无磁性，不渗透的轻质材料制成，如丙烯酸或氯乙烯。
最大粒度为10 mm或以下的物质选用小筒形容器；最大粒度为25 mm或以下的物质
选用大筒形容器。
.4
压入棒（见图1.2.2.4）由黄铜制成。用于煤的压入棒的质量宜调至88 g(5kPa)；
用于精矿者宜调至177 g（10 kPa）。当试样含有粗粒时，建议在试样表面放上二
支压力相同的压入棒，以免判断错误。
.5
宜制作一个托架（见图1.2.2.5）来引导压入棒的棒杆以最小的摩擦力到达筒形容
器的中心。当使用二支压入棒时，其位置宜与图1.2.2相符。
.6
筒形容器和压入指示器宜按试样的性质和状况，即粒度和散货密度来选择。
1.2.3 程序
1.2.3.1
.1
试验和振动台的准备：
所需试样的数量约为所选容筒形器容量的6倍或以上。各容器所装代表性试样的
数量宜为：小容器约1,700 cm3，大容器约4,700 cm3。
.2
将试样搅拌均匀，并分成大致相等的三份子样， 即（A）、（B）和（C）。子样
（A）宜立即称重并放入烘干炉以确定试样“收到时”的含水量。
第310页
子样（B）和（C）分别用于预备试验和主试验。
.3
振动台的振动量宜使用加速仪在试验前校准。宜在台上安设一个装有试样的容
器，将振动台的加速度调至2 g rms ±10%。
1.2.3.2 流动水分预备试验
本试验是用子样（B）快速测定近似流动水分点。每次压入试验后均按一定增量加水。
当试样已达到流动状态时，测量其正好达到流动状态后的含水量。试样正要达到流动状态前
的含水量，从试样总质量中减去前次所加水量就能算出。
.1
用子样（B）明确分四步装填相应的筒型容器，每装入一层后均用规定的夯具夯
实。精矿的夯实压力见1.1.4.1，煤的夯实压力为40 kPa。在该物质整个表面均匀施
压，直到形成均匀的平整表面。
.2
将压入棒穿过托架放在物质表面。
.3
振动器以50 Hz或60 Hz频率和为2 g rms ± 10%加速度运转6分钟。如有必要，宜参
照装在振动台上的加速仪的读数校核加速程度。
.4
振动6分钟后，读取压入深度。
.5
当插入深度小于50 mm时，则判定未发生流化。此时：
.6
.1
将该物质从筒型容器中取出，连同剩余试样放回搅拌碗。
.2
将搅拌碗中的物质搅拌均匀并称重。
.3
喷洒加水，增量不多于碗中试样质量的1%，并搅拌均匀。
.4
重复1.2.3.2.1至1.2.3.2.5所述程序。
当压入深度大于50 mm时，则判定认为已发生流化。此时：

将物质从筒型容器中取出，放回搅拌碗。
第311页
.2
按1.1.4.4所述程序测量含水量。
.3
根据所加水量计算试样正要达到流动水分点前的含水量。
.7
如第一次试验的压入深度大于50 mm，即试样收到时已流化，则将子样（B）和
（C）混合，在室温下干燥以减少水分。然后，将该物质分成子样（B）和（C），
重作预备试验。
1.2.3.3
流动水分主试验
.1
宜在预备试验的基础上进行主试验，更为精确地确定流动水分点。
.2
将子样（C）的含水量调至流动水分预备试验中最后一个不会引起流动的数值。
.3
流动水分主试验第一次试验在此经调整的试样上按1.2.3.2所述同样方式进行。但在
此情况下，依次所加水量宜不多于试样质量的0.5%。
.4
如预先知道流动水分点的近似值，则子样（C）的含水量调至该值的90%左右。
.5
当已达到流动状态时，按1.1.4.3所述确定流动水分点。

在每次压实试验时，向经干燥的试验物质样品中加入适量的水，充分搅拌5分钟。
取约五分之一搅拌过的试样装入模具并整平，然后将加装的试样表面均匀夯实。
夯实方式是通过导管落锤25次，每次落下高度均为0.2 m。对全部五层试样均照此
操作。当最后一层试样夯实后，卸下延伸件，并沿模具边缘整平试样。当确定了
模具连同夯实试样的重量后，把圆筒撤空，将试样干燥和称重。
然后对含水量不同的其他试样重复进行该试验。

细粒物质（粒径小于10 mm）静止角的测定：“倾箱试验”。供实验室或装货港使用
2.1.1 适用范围
本试验用于测定非粘性细粒（粒径小于10 mm）物质的静止角。在就有关物质解释本规
则第5节和第6节时可使用本试验所得结果。
2.1.2 定义
由本试验所得出的静止角是试验箱中的散装物质刚开始大量滑动时，箱顶与水平面的夹角。
2.1.3 试验原理
在用本方法测量静止角时，物质表面最初宜平整并与箱底平行。将箱倾斜时无振动，在
物质刚开始大量滑动时停止倾斜。
2.1.4 器具（见图2.1.4）
所用器具如下：
.1
一个顶部装有一开口箱的框架。一根轴穿过固定在框架和开口箱端部的轴承将开
口箱与框架连接起来，使开口箱能进行可控倾斜。
.2
开口箱的尺寸为长600 mm，宽400 mm，高200 mm。
.3 为防止物质在倾斜时沿箱底滑动，装填物质前在箱底放置一个紧密贴合的格栅(开
孔30 mm × 30 mm × 25 mm)。
.4 用装在框架和箱底之间的一个液压缸将箱倾斜。可用其他手段达到所要求的倾斜，
但无论如何必须消除振动。
.5
可用一液压气动蓄能器给液压缸加压，用空气或气体以大约5 kp/cm2压力加压。
.6
倾斜速率宜为约0.3°/s。
.7
倾斜范围宜至少为50°。
第323页
图2.1.4
倾斜箱基本结构图
.8
在轴端安装一个量角器。量角器上有一标杆，可用螺丝调至水平。
.9
量角器宜以0.5°以内精度测量箱顶边与水平线的夹角。
.10
应备有一个气泡式水准仪或其他某种水准仪，以将量角器调至零位。
第324页
2.1.5 程序
向箱内装填所要试验的物质时，从可行的最低高度上小心缓慢倒入，做到均匀装填。
用一个直规将多余的物质刮掉，直规朝刮的方向倾斜45°。
然后启动倾斜系统，并在物质刚开始大量滑动时停下。
用量角器测量并记录箱顶与水平线的夹角。
2.1.6 求值
静止角按三次测量的平均值计算，试验报告中所用精度为半度以内。
注：试验宜最好用三份独立试样进行。
宜注意在试验前将轴调为水平。
2.2
无倾箱时测定静止角的替代或船上试验方法
2.2.1 定义
按本方法，静止角为半高处量取的锥体斜面与水平线的夹角。
2.2.2 试验原理
为测定静止角，将一定数量所要试验的物质从料瓶中小心倒在一张粗质纸上，形成一个
对称的锥体。
2.2.3 设备
进行该试验所需设备如下：
–
一张不受振动影响的水平桌；
–
一张倒物质用的粗质纸；
–
一个量角器；和
–
一个容量为3升的锥形料瓶。
2.2.4 程序
将粗质纸放在桌上。将10升所要试验的物质分成三份子样，每份按下述方法进行试验：
将一份子样的2/3（即2升）倒在粗质纸上，形成一初始锥体。然后，将该子样的剩余部
分从几毫米高极为小心地倒在锥顶。宜注意使锥形形状对称，为此可将料瓶贴近锥顶缓慢围
绕其倾倒物质。
第325页
测量时宜注意量角器不要接触锥体，否则可能使物质滑动而破坏试验。
必须在锥体四周按大约90°间隔，取四个位置测量角度。
对其他二份子样宜重复进行该试验。
2.2.5 计算
静止角取为12次测量的平均值，试验报告中所用精确度为半度。该数字能按下式换算成
倾箱数值：
at = as + 3°
（2.2.5）
式中： at = 按倾箱试验测定的静止角
as = 按检查试验测定的静止角

确定含硝酸盐化肥自续放热分解的试验槽试验①
4.1
定义
能发生自续分解化肥的定义为局部引发的分解将扩散至整体的化肥。交运的化肥发生这
种分解的倾向能用试验槽试验来确定。在该试验中，水平安装的试验槽中放入一层化肥，从
其局部引发分解。移去引发热源后，测量分解在其整体中的的蔓延量。

4.2
装置和材料
该装置（图4-1）由一个内尺寸为150 mm × 150 mm × 500 mm，顶部开口试验槽构成。试
验槽由方格网（最好为不锈钢丝网）制成，网格宽约1.5 mm，网丝直径1.0 mm，其支架由宽
15 mm、直径2 mm的钢条制成。试验槽两端的丝网可用厚1.5 mm、150 mm × 150 mm不锈钢
板代替。试验槽宜有合适的支托。因粒度分布而会从网格中大量漏出的化肥，宜用网格较小
的试验槽或用衬有较小网格丝网的试验槽进行试验。在引发分解时，应保持足量供热，以形
成一个均匀的分解锋面。下面建议两种加热方法供选用，即：
A
铝或不锈钢挡板（厚3 mm）
B 隔热板（厚5 mm）
C 铝箔或不锈钢板（厚3 mm）
D
图4-2
槽中加热装置位置
电加热器（功率250 W）
4.2.1 电热
将一个封装在不锈钢盒内的电热元件（功率250 W）放入试验槽一端内侧（图4-2）。不
锈钢盒尺寸为145 mm × 145 mm × 10 mm，壁厚3 mm。该盒不与化肥接触的一侧宜用一挡热
板（5 mm厚隔热板）防护。该盒加热一侧可用铝箔或不锈钢板防护。
第332页
4.2.2 气体燃烧器
在试验槽一端内侧放入一钢板（厚1 mm至3 mm），使之与丝网接触（图4-1）。钢板用
两个固定在支架上的燃烧器加热，燃烧器能将钢板的温度保持在400℃至600℃之间，即处于
暗红热状态。
4.2.3 为防止沿试验槽外侧传热，宜在离试验槽加热端约50 mm处装上一块用钢板(厚2 mm)
制成的挡热板。
4.2.4 该装置如全部用不锈钢制成，其寿命可以延长。这对网式试验槽尤为重要。
4.2.5 可用放入试验物质的热电耦来测量蔓延，记录反应锋面到达热电耦时温度突然升
高的时间。
4.3
程序
4.3.1 该装置宜安在一个烟罩下面，以将分解时产生的毒气排掉，或安在开敞场地使烟
气能很快消散。虽然没有爆炸危险，但进行试验时在观测人员和该装置之间最好有一防护挡
板，如合适的透明塑料板。
4.3.2 将化肥以其交运形态装入试验槽，用上述电热方式或气体燃烧器在一端引发分
解。加热宜持续到化肥分解己充分确定，并已观察到锋面蔓延（约30 mm至50 mm）时止。
对热稳定性很高的货品，可能需要持续加热两小时。如化肥出现熔化倾向，则加热时宜谨
慎，即用小火。
4.3.3 在加热中断约20分钟后，记下分解锋面的位置。反应锋面的位置能按色差来确
定，例如褐色（未分解的化肥）对白色（已分解的化肥）；或按反应锋面两侧的各热电耦所
示温度来确定。蔓延速率可通过观测和计时或按热电耦的记录来确定。宜记下加热中断后是
否没有蔓延，或是否蔓延到遍及槽内物质。
4.4
试验衡准和评价结果的方法
4.4.1 如分解的蔓延持续到遍及槽内物质，则该化肥视为能出现自续分解。
4.4.2 如分解未蔓延到遍及槽内物质，则该化肥视为无自续分解危害。

防爆试验说明
5.1
5.1.1
原理
将试样封入一个钢管经受助爆装药的爆轰冲击。钢管在试验期间平卧于若干铅柱
上，按铅柱的压缩程度来确定爆轰的蔓延。
第333页
5.2
试样的准备
5.2.1 试验须在货物的代表性样品上进行。全部试样在进行防爆试验前，于密封的钢管
内在25℃和50℃（±1℃）之间作五次热循环。试样在每次热循环期间应保持最高温度（试样
正中量取）至少一小时，并在全部循环结束后保持20℃（±3℃）至试验为止。
5.3
材料
不锈钢管按ISO 65-1981-重金属标准或同等标准
管长
1,000 mm
标称外径
114 mm
标称壁厚
5 – 6.5 mm
焊接性能良好的底板（160 × 160 mm），厚5至6 mm，与钢管的一端全周对接焊。
起爆系统和助爆药
电雷管或非金属外皮导火线（10至13 g/m）。
次级炸药压缩球团，如旋风炸药/腊 95/5或三硝基苯甲硝胺，正中有一凹处容纳起爆剂。
含83至86%季戊炸药的塑料炸药500 ±1克，用纸板或塑料管制成柱形，爆轰速度为7,300
至7,700 m/s。
六个由精炼铅铸成的取证铅柱，用于检测爆轰。
直径50 mm × 高100 mm，由纯度至少99.5%的精炼铅制成。
5.4
程序
试验温度：15至20°C。试验布置如图1和2所示。
钢管装填试样至其高度约1/3处，在离地10 cm处垂直下落五次。在各次跌落之间用锤轻
敲管壁以提高压缩度。应向管内添装试样，使所装试样压实后或钢管升落20次并间歇锤击总
计20次后，在管内装至距管口70 mm处。
将塑料炸药柱插入钢管，并用一木模将其压下。次级炸药压缩球团放入塑料炸药凹处正
中。用一木质圆盘封住塑料炸药，使其与试样保持接触。在一坚硬且抗变形或位移的水平固
体表面，将钢管平放于6个中心间距为150 mm的铅柱上，最后一个铅柱的中心与底板的距离
为75 mm。插入电雷管或导火线。
第334页
确保采取一切必要的安全预防措施后，连接和引爆炸药。
记录每根铅柱的压缩程度，用初始高度100 mm的百分比表示。对斜向压缩，变形取为最
大和最小变形的平均值。
5.5
结果
试验要进行2次，如每次试验中有一根或多根支承铅柱的击碎率小于5%，则试样视为达
到防爆要求。

FOREWORD
The International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea, 1974 (SOLAS Convention), as
amended, deals with various aspects of maritime safety and contains, in parts A and B of
chapter VI and part A-1 of chapter VII, the mandatory provisions governing the carriage of solid
bulk cargoes and the carriage of dangerous goods in solid form in bulk, respectively.
These provisions are amplified in the International Maritime Solid Bulk Cargoes Code
(IMSBC Code).
Detailed fire protection arrangements for ships carrying solid bulk cargoes are incorporated
into chapter II-2 of the SOLAS Convention by regulations 10 and 19. Attention is drawn to
regulation II-2/19.4 of the SOLAS Convention as amended. This provides for an appropriate
document as evidence of compliance of construction and equipment with the requirements of
regulation II-2/19 to be issued to ships constructed on or after 1 July 2002 and carrying
dangerous goods in solid form in bulk as defined in regulation VII/7 of the Convention, except
class 6.2 and class 7.
For:
-
cargo ships of 500 gross tonnage or over constructed on or after 1 September 1984
but before 1 July 2002; or
-
cargo ships of less than 500 gross tonnage constructed on or after 1 February 1992
but before 1 July 2002,
the requirements of regulation II-2/54 of SOLAS, 1974, as amended by resolutions
MSC.1(XLV), MSC.6(48), MSC.13(57), MSC.22(59), MSC.24(60), MSC.27(61), MSC.31(63)
and MSC.57(67), apply (see SOLAS regulation II-2/1.2).
For cargo ships of less than 500 gross tonnage constructed on or after 1 September 1984 and
before 1 February 1992, it is recommended that Contracting Parties extend such application to
these cargo ships as far as possible.
The problems involved in the carriage of bulk cargoes were recognized by the delegates to
the 1960 International Conference on Safety of Life at Sea, but at that time it was not possible to
frame detailed requirements, except for the carriage of grain. The Conference did recommend,
however, in paragraph 55 of Annex D to the Convention, that an internationally acceptable code
of safe practice for the shipment of bulk cargoes should be drawn up under the sponsorship of the
International Maritime Organization (IMO). This work was undertaken by the Organization’s
Sub-Committee on Containers and Cargoes and several editions of the Code of Safe Practice for
Solid Bulk Cargoes (BC Code) have been published, since the first edition in 1965.
The Sub-Committee was expanded to include dangerous goods and is now called the
Sub-Committee on Dangerous Goods, Solid Cargoes and Containers (DSC Sub-Committee).
The prime hazards associated with the shipment of solid bulk cargoes are those relating to
structural damage due to improper cargo distribution, loss or reduction of stability during
a voyage and chemical reactions of cargoes. Therefore the primary aim of this Code is to
facilitate the safe stowage and shipment of solid bulk cargoes by providing information on the
dangers associated with the shipment of certain types of solid bulk cargoes and instructions
I:\MSC\85\26-Add-2.doc
MSC 85/26/Add.2
ANNEX 3
Page 4
on the procedures to be adopted when the shipment of solid bulk cargoes is contemplated.
The requirements for the transport of grain are covered by the International Code for the Safe
Carriage of Grain in Bulk (International Grain Code, 1991).
The IMSBC Code that was adopted by resolution MSC.268(85) was recommended to
Governments for adoption or for use as the basis for national regulations in pursuance of their
obligations under regulation of the SOLAS Convention, as amended. The Code is mandatory
under the provision of the SOLAS Convention from 1 January 2011. However, some parts of the
Code continue to be recommendatory or informative. It needs to be emphasized that, in the
context of the language of the Code: the words “shall”, “should” and “may”, when used in the
Code, mean that the relevant provisions are “mandatory”, “recommendatory” and “optional”,
respectively. Observance of the Code harmonizes the practices and procedures to be followed
and the appropriate precautions to be taken in the loading, trimming, carriage and discharge of
solid bulk cargoes when transported by sea, ensuring compliance with the mandatory provisions
of the SOLAS Convention.
The Code has undergone many changes, both in layout and content, in order to keep pace with
the expansion and progress of industry. The Maritime Safety Committee (MSC) is authorized by
the Organization’s Assembly to adopt amendments to the Code, thus enabling the IMO to
respond promptly to developments in transport.
The MSC, at its eighty-fifth session, agreed that, in order to facilitate the safe transport of solid
bulk cargoes, the provisions of the Code may be applied as from 1 January 2009 on a voluntary
basis, pending their official entry into force on 1 January 2011 without any transitional period.
This is described in resolution MSC.268(85).

Section 1
General provisions
1.1
Introductory note
1.1.1 It should be noted that other international and national regulations exist and that those
regulations may recognize all or part of the provisions of this Code. In addition, port authorities
and other bodies and organizations should recognize the Code and may use it as a basis for their
storage and handling bye-laws within loading and discharge areas.
1.2
Cargoes listed in this Code
1.2.1 Typical cargoes currently shipped in bulk, together with advice on their properties and
methods of handling, are given in the schedules for individual cargoes. However, these
schedules are not exhaustive and the properties attributed to the cargoes are given only for
guidance. Consequently, before loading, it is essential to obtain current valid information from
the shipper on the physical and chemical properties of the cargoes presented for shipment.
The shipper shall provide appropriate information about the cargo to be shipped
(see section 4.2).
1.2.2 Where a solid bulk cargo is specifically listed in appendix 1 to this Code (individual
schedules for solid bulk cargoes), it shall be transported in accordance with the provisions in its
schedule in addition to the provisions in sections 1 to 10 and 11.1.1 of this Code. The master
shall consider to consult the authorities at the ports of loading and discharge, as necessary,
concerning the requirements which may be in force and applicable for the carriage.
1.3
Cargoes not listed in this Code
1.3.1 If a solid cargo which is not listed in appendix 1 to this Code is proposed for carriage in
bulk, the shipper shall, prior to loading, provide the competent authority of the port of loading
with the characteristics and properties of the cargo in accordance with section 4 of this Code.
Based on the information received, the competent authority will assess the acceptability of the
cargo for safe shipment.
1.3.1.1 When it is assessed that the solid bulk cargo proposed for carriage may present hazards
as those defined by group A or B of this Code as defined in 1.7, advice is to be sought from the
competent authorities of the port of unloading and of the flag State. The three competent
authorities will set the preliminary suitable conditions for the carriage of this cargo.
1.3.1.2 When it is assessed that the solid bulk cargo proposed for carriage presents no specific
hazards for transportation, the carriage of this cargo shall be authorized. The competent
authorities of the port of unloading and of the flag State shall be advised of that authorization.

1.4.3 In certain parts of this Code, a particular action is prescribed, but the responsibility for
carrying out the action has not been specifically assigned to any particular person. Such
responsibility may vary according to the laws and customs of different countries and the
international conventions into which these countries have entered. For the purpose of this Code,
it is not necessary to make this assignment, but only to identify the action itself. It remains the
prerogative of each Government to assign this responsibility.
1.5
Exemptions and equivalent measures
1.5.1 Where this Code requires that a particular provision for the transport of solid bulk
cargoes shall be complied with, a competent authority or competent authorities (port State of
departure, port State of arrival or flag State) may authorize any other provision by exemption if
satisfied that such provision is at least as effective and safe as that required by this Code.
Acceptance of an exemption authorized under this section by a competent authority not party to it
is subject to the discretion of that competent authority. Accordingly, prior to any shipment
covered by the exemption, the recipient of the exemption shall notify other competent authorities
concerned.

Section 2
General loading, carriage and unloading precautions
2.1
Cargo distribution
2.1.1
General
A number of accidents have occurred as a result of improper loading and unloading of solid bulk
cargoes. It shall be noted that solid bulk cargoes have to be properly distributed throughout the
ship to provide adequate stability and to ensure that the ship’s structure is never overstressed.
Furthermore, the shipper shall provide the master with adequate information about the cargo,
as specified in section 4, to ensure that the ship is properly loaded.*
2.1.2
To prevent the structure being overstressed
A general cargo ship is normally constructed to carry cargoes in the range of 1.39 to 1.67 cubic
metres per tonne when loaded to full bale and deadweight capacities. When loading
a high-density solid bulk cargo, particular attention shall be paid to the distribution of weights to
avoid excessive stresses, taking into account that the loading conditions may be different from
those found normally and that improper distribution of such cargo may be capable of stressing
either the structure under the load or the entire hull. To set out exact rules for the distribution of
loading is not practicable for all ships because the structural arrangements of each vessel may
vary greatly. The information on proper distribution of cargo may be provided in the ship’s
stability information booklet or may be obtained by the use of loading calculators, if available.
2.1.3
To aid stability
2.1.3.1 Having regard to regulation II-1/22.1 of SOLAS Convention, a stability information
booklet shall be provided aboard all ships subject to the Convention. The master shall be able to
calculate the stability for the anticipated worst conditions during the voyage as well as that on
departure and demonstrate that the stability is adequate.
2.1.3.2 Shifting divisions and bins, of adequate strength, shall be erected whenever solid bulk
cargoes, which are suspected of readily shifting, are carried in ’tween-deck cargo spaces or in
only partially filled cargo spaces.
2.1.3.3 As far as practicable, high-density cargoes shall be loaded in the lower hold cargo
spaces in preference to ’tween-deck cargo spaces.
2.1.3.4 When it is necessary to carry high-density cargoes in ’tween-decks or higher cargo
spaces, due consideration shall be paid to ensure that the deck area is not overstressed and that
the ship’s stability is not reduced below the minimum acceptable level specified in the ship’s
stability data.
*
Also refer to the Code of Practice for the Safe Loading and Unloading of Bulk Carriers, adopted by the
Organization by resolution A.862(20), as amended.

2.2
Loading and unloading
2.2.1 Cargo spaces shall be inspected and prepared for the particular cargo which is to be
loaded.*
2.2.2 Due consideration shall be paid to bilge wells and strainer plates, for which special
preparation is necessary, to facilitate drainage and to prevent entry of the cargoes into the
bilge system.
2.2.3 Bilge lines, sounding pipes and other service lines within the cargo space shall be in
good order.
2.2.4 Because of the velocity at which some high-density solid bulk cargoes are loaded, special
care may be necessary to protect cargo space fittings from damage. To sound bilges after the
completion of loading may be effective to detect damage on cargo space fittings.
2.2.5 As far as practicable, ventilation systems shall be shut down or screened and air
conditioning systems placed on recirculation during loading or discharge, to minimize dust
ingress into the living quarters or other interior spaces.
2.2.6 Due consideration shall be paid to minimize the extent to which dust may come into
contact with moving parts of deck machinery and external navigational aids.
*
Refer to the Guidance to ships’ crews and terminal personnel for bulk carrier inspections, adopted by the
Organization by resolution A.866(20).

Section 3
Safety of personnel and ship
3.1
General requirements
3.1.1 Prior to and during loading, carriage and discharge of a solid bulk cargo, all necessary
safety precautions shall be observed.
3.1.2 A copy of the instructions on emergency response and medical first aid* relevant to
incidents involving dangerous goods in solid form in bulk shall be on board.
3.2
Poisoning, corrosive and asphyxiation hazards
3.2.1 Some solid bulk cargoes are susceptible to oxidation, which may result in oxygen
depletion, emission of toxic gases or fumes and self-heating. Some cargoes are not liable to
oxidize but may emit toxic fumes, particularly when wet. There are also cargoes which, when
wetted, are corrosive to skin, eyes and mucous membranes or to the ship’s structure. When these
cargoes are carried particular attention shall be paid to protection of personnel and the need for
special precautions to be taken prior to loading and after unloading.
3.2.2 Appropriate attention shall be paid that cargo spaces and adjacent spaces may be depleted
in oxygen or may contain toxic or asphyxiating gases, and that an empty cargo space or tank
which has remained closed for some time may have insufficient oxygen to support life.
3.2.3 Many solid bulk cargoes are liable to cause oxygen depletion in a cargo space or tank.
These include, but are not limited to, most vegetable products and forest products, ferrous metals,
metal sulphide concentrates and coal cargoes.
3.2.4 Prior to entry into an enclosed space aboard a ship, appropriate procedures shall be
followed taking into account the recommendations developed by the Organization.** It is to be
noted that, after a cargo space or tank has been tested and generally found to be safe for entry,
small areas may exist where oxygen is deficient or toxic fumes are still present.
3.2.5 When carrying a solid bulk cargo that is liable to emit a toxic or flammable gas, and/or
cause oxygen depletion in the cargo space, the appropriate instrument(s) for measuring the
concentration of gas and oxygen in the cargo space shall be provided.
3.2.6 Emergency entry into a cargo space shall be undertaken only by trained personnel
wearing self-contained breathing apparatus and protective clothing and always under the
supervision of a responsible officer.
*
Refer to the Medical First Aid Guide for Use in Accidents Involving Dangerous Goods (MFAG)
(MSC/Circ.857).

3.3
Health hazards due to dust
To minimize the chronic and acute risks associated with exposure to the dust of some solid bulk
cargoes, the need for a high standard of personal hygiene of those exposed to the dust cannot be
overemphasized. Precautions, including the use of appropriate breathing protection, protective
clothing, protective skin creams, adequate personal washing and laundering of outer clothing,
shall be taken as necessary.
3.4
Flammable atmosphere
3.4.1 Dust of some solid bulk cargoes may constitute an explosion hazard, especially while
loading, unloading and cleaning. This risk can be minimized by ventilating to prevent the
formation of a dust-laden atmosphere and by hosing down rather than sweeping.
3.4.2 Some cargoes may emit flammable gases in sufficient quantities to constitute a fire or
explosion hazard. Where this is indicated in the cargo schedule in this Code or by the cargo
information provided by the shipper, the cargo spaces shall be effectively ventilated as necessary.
The atmosphere in the cargo spaces shall be monitored by means of an appropriate gas detector.
Due consideration shall be paid to the ventilation and monitoring of the atmosphere in the
enclosed spaces adjacent to the cargo spaces.
3.5
Ventilation
3.5.1 Unless expressly provided otherwise, when cargoes which may emit toxic gases are
carried, the cargo spaces shall be provided with mechanical or natural ventilation; and, when
cargoes which may emit flammable gases are carried, the cargo spaces shall be provided with
mechanical ventilation.
3.5.2 If maintaining ventilation would endanger the ship or the cargo, it may be interrupted
unless this would produce a risk of explosion.
3.5.3 When continuous ventilation is required by the schedule for the cargo in this Code or by
the cargo information provided by the shipper, ventilation shall be maintained while the cargo is
on board, unless a situation develops where ventilation would endanger the ship.
3.5.4 Ventilation openings shall be provided in holds intended for the carriage of cargoes that
require continuous ventilation. Such openings shall comply with the requirements of the Load
Line Convention as amended for openings not fitted with means of closure.
3.5.5 Ventilation shall be such that any escaping hazardous gases, vapours or dust cannot enter
the accommodation or other interior spaces in hazardous concentrations. Due consideration shall
be given to prevent escaping hazardous gases, vapours or dust from reaching enclosed work
areas. Adequate precautions shall be taken to protect the personnel in these work areas.
3.5.6 When a cargo may heat spontaneously, ventilation other than surface ventilation shall not
be applied. On no account shall air be directed into the body of the cargo.
3.6
Cargo under in-transit fumigation
Fumigation shall be performed based on the recommendations developed by the Organization.*
*
Refer to the Recommendations on the safe use of pesticides in ships applicable to the fumigation of cargo holds
(MSC.1/Circ.1264).

UN Manual of Tests and Criteria, part III. The various properties of a solid bulk cargo required
by this Code shall be determined, as appropriate to that cargo, in accordance with the test
procedures approved by a competent authority in the country of origin, when such test
procedures exist. In the absence of such test procedures, those properties of a solid bulk cargo
shall be determined, as appropriate to that cargo, in accordance with the test procedures
prescribed in appendix 2 to this Code.
4.2
Provision of information
4.2.1 The shipper shall provide the master or his representative with appropriate information on
the cargo sufficiently in advance of loading to enable the precautions which may be necessary for
proper stowage and safe carriage of the cargo to be put into effect.
4.2.2 Cargo information shall be confirmed in writing and by appropriate shipping documents

Certificates of test
4.3.1 To obtain the information required in 4.2.1 the shipper shall arrange for the cargo to be
properly sampled and tested. The shipper shall provide the ship’s master or his representative
with the appropriate certificates of test, if required in this Code.
4.3.2 When a concentrate or other cargo which may liquefy is carried, the shipper shall provide
the ship’s master or his representative with a signed certificate of the TML, and a signed
certificate or declaration of the moisture content. The certificate of TML shall contain, or be
accompanied by the result of the test for determining the TML. The declaration of moisture
content shall contain, or be accompanied by, a statement by the shipper that the moisture content
is, to the best of his knowledge and belief, the average moisture content of the cargo at the time
the declaration is presented to the master.
4.3.3 When a concentrate or other cargo which may liquefy is to be loaded into more than one
cargo space of a ship, the certificate or the declaration of moisture content shall certify the
moisture content of each type of finely grained material loaded into each cargo space.
Notwithstanding this requirement, if sampling according to internationally or nationally accepted
standard procedures indicates that the moisture content is uniform throughout the consignment,
then one certificate or declaration of average moisture content for all cargo spaces is acceptable.
4.3.4 Where certification is required by the individual schedules for cargoes possessing
chemical hazards, the certificate shall contain, or be accompanied by, a statement from the
shipper that the chemical characteristics of the cargo are, to the best of his knowledge, those
present at the time of the ship’s loading.
4.4
Sampling procedures
4.4.1 Physical property tests on the consignment are meaningless unless they are conducted
prior to loading on truly representative test samples.
4.4.2 Sampling shall be conducted only by persons who have been suitably trained in sampling
procedures and who are under the supervision of someone who is fully aware of the properties of
the consignment and also the applicable principles and practices of sampling.
4.4.3 Prior to taking samples, and within the limits of practicability, a visual inspection of the
consignment which is to form the ship’s cargo shall be carried out. Any substantial portions of
material which appear to be contaminated or significantly different in characteristics or moisture
content from the bulk of the consignment shall be sampled and analysed separately. Depending
upon the results obtained in these tests, it may be necessary to reject those particular portions as
unfit for shipment.
4.4.4 Representative samples shall be obtained by employing techniques which take the
following factors into account:
.1
the type of material;
.2
the particle size distribution;
I:\MSC\85\26-Add-2.doc
MSC 85/26/Add.2
ANNEX 3
Page 27
.3
composition of the material and its variability;
.4
the manner in which the material is stored, in stockpiles, rail wagons or other
containers, and transferred or loaded by material-handling systems such as
conveyors, loading chutes, crane grabs, etc.;
.5
the chemical hazards (toxicity, corrosivity, etc.);
.6
the characteristics which have to be determined: moisture content, TML, bulk
density/stowage factor, angle of repose, etc.;
.7
variations in moisture distribution throughout the consignment which may occur
due to weather conditions, natural drainage, e.g., to lower levels of stockpiles or
containers, or other forms of moisture migration; and
.8
variations which may occur following freezing of the material.
4.4.5 Throughout the sampling procedures, utmost care shall be taken to prevent changes in
quality and characteristics. Samples shall be immediately placed in suitable sealed containers
which are properly marked.
4.4.6 Unless expressly provided otherwise, sampling for the test required by this Code shall
follow an internationally or nationally accepted standard procedure.
4.5
Interval between sampling/testing and loading for TML and moisture content
determination
4.5.1 A test to determine the TML of a solid bulk cargo shall be conducted within six months to
the date of loading the cargo. Notwithstanding this provision, where the composition or
characteristics of the cargo are variable for any reason, a test to determine the TML shall be
conducted again after it is reasonably assumed that such variation has taken place.
4.5.2 Sampling and testing for moisture content shall be conducted as near as practicable to the
time of loading. If there has been significant rain or snow between the time of testing and
loading, check tests shall be conducted to ensure that the moisture content of the cargo is still less
than its TML. The interval between sampling/testing and loading shall never be more
than seven days.
4.5.3 Samples of frozen cargo shall be tested for the TML or the moisture content after the free
moisture has completely thawed.
4.6
Sampling procedures for concentrate stockpiles
4.6.1 It is not practicable to specify a single method of sampling for all consignments since the
character of the material and the form in which it is available will affect the selection of the
procedure to be used. In the absence of internationally or nationally accepted standard sampling
procedures, the following sampling procedures for concentrate stockpiles may be used to
determine the moisture content and the TML of mineral concentrates. These procedures are not
intended to replace sampling procedures, such as the use of automatic sampling, that achieve
equal or superior accuracy of either moisture content or TML.
I:\MSC\85\26-Add-2.doc
MSC 85/26/Add.2
ANNEX 3
Page 28
4.6.2 Sub-samples are taken in a reasonably uniform pattern, where possible from
a levelled stockpile.
4.6.3 A plan of the stockpile is drawn and divided into areas, each of which contains
approximately 125 t, 250 t or 500 t depending on the amount of concentrate to be shipped. Such
a plan will indicate the number of sub-samples required and where each is to be taken. Each
sub-sample taken is drawn from approximately 50 cm below the surface of the designated area.
4.6.4 The number of sub-samples and sample size are given by the competent authority or
determined in accordance with the following scale:
Consignments of not more than 15,000 t:
One 200 g sub-sample is taken for each 125 t to be shipped.
Consignments of more than 15,000 but not more than 60,000 t:
One 200 g sub-sample is taken for each 250 t to be shipped.
Consignments of more than 60,000 t:
One 200 g sub-sample is taken for each 500 t to be shipped.
4.6.5 Sub-samples for moisture content determination are placed in sealed containers (such as
plastic bags, cans or small metallic drums) immediately on withdrawal for conveyance to the
testing laboratory, where they are thoroughly mixed in order to obtain a fully representative
sample. Where testing facilities are not available at the testing site, such mixing is done under
controlled conditions at the stockpile and the representative sample placed in a sealed container
and shipped to the test laboratory.
4.6.6
Basic procedural steps include:
.1
identification of consignment to be sampled;
.2
determination of the number of individual sub-samples and representative
samples, as described in 4.6.4, which are required;
.3
determination of the positions from which to obtain sub-samples and the method
of combining such sub-samples to arrive at a representative sample;
.4
gathering of individual sub-samples and placing them in sealed containers;
.5
thorough mixing of sub-samples to obtain the representative sample; and
.6
placing the representative sample in a sealed container if it has to be shipped to a
test laboratory.

Section 5
Trimming procedures
5.1
General provisions for trimming
5.1.1 Trimming a cargo reduces the likelihood of the cargo shifting and minimizes the air
entering the cargo. Air entering the cargo could lead to spontaneous heating. To minimize these
risks, cargoes shall be trimmed reasonably level, as necessary.
5.1.2 Cargo spaces shall be as full as practicable without resulting in excessive loading on the
bottom structure or ’tween-deck to prevent sliding of a solid bulk cargo. Due consideration shall
be given to the amount of a solid bulk cargo in each cargo space, taking into account the
possibility of shifting and longitudinal moments and forces of the ship. Cargo shall be spread as
widely as practicable to the boundary of the cargo space. Alternate hold loading restrictions, as
required by SOLAS chapter XII, may also need to be taken into account.
5.1.3 The master has the right to require that the cargo be trimmed level, where there is any
concern regarding stability based upon the information available, taking into account the
characteristics of the ship and the intended voyage.
5.2
Special provisions for multi-deck ships
5.2.1 When a solid bulk cargo is loaded only in lower cargo spaces, it shall be trimmed
sufficiently to equalize the mass distribution on the bottom structure.
5.2.2 When solid bulk cargoes are carried in ’tween-decks, the hatchways of such ’tween-decks
shall be closed in those cases where the loading information indicates an unacceptable level of
stress of the bottom structure if the hatchways are left open. The cargo shall be trimmed
reasonably level and shall either extend from side to side or be secured by additional longitudinal
divisions of sufficient strength. The safe load-carrying capacity of the ’tween-decks shall be
observed to ensure that the deck structure is not overloaded.
5.2.3 If coal cargoes are carried in ’tween decks, the hatchways of such ’tween-decks shall be
tightly sealed to prevent air moving up through the body of the cargo in the ’tween decks.
5.3
Special provisions for cohesive bulk cargoes
5.3.1 All damp cargoes and some dry ones possess cohesion. For cohesive cargoes, the general
provisions in subsection 5.1 shall apply.
5.3.2 The angle of repose is not an indicator of the stability of a cohesive bulk cargo and it is
not included in the individual schedules for cohesive cargoes.
5.4
Special provisions for non-cohesive bulk cargoes
5.4.1 Non-cohesive bulk cargoes are those listed in paragraph 1 in appendix 3 and any other
cargo not listed in the appendix, exhibiting the properties of a non-cohesive material.
I:\MSC\85\26-Add-2.doc

ANNEX 3
Page 31
5.4.2 For trimming purposes, solid bulk cargoes can be categorized as cohesive or
non-cohesive. The angle of repose is a characteristic of non-cohesive bulk cargoes which is
indicative of cargo stability and has been included in the individual schedules for non-cohesive
cargoes. The angle of repose of the cargoes shall establish which provisions of this section
apply. Methods for determining the angle of repose are given in section 6.
5.4.3
Non-cohesive bulk cargoes having an angle of repose less than or equal to 30º
These cargoes, which flow freely like grain, shall be carried according to the provisions
applicable to the stowage of grain cargoes*. The bulk density of the cargo shall be taken into
account when determining:
.1
the scantlings and securing arrangements of divisions and bin bulkheads; and
.2
the stability effect of free cargo surfaces.
5.4.4 Non-cohesive bulk cargoes having an angle of repose greater than 30° to 35° inclusive
These cargoes shall be trimmed according to the following criteria:
5.4.5
.1
the unevenness of the cargo surface measured as the vertical distance (∆h)
between the highest and lowest levels of the cargo surface shall not exceed B/10,
where B is the beam of the ship in metres, with a maximum allowable ∆h = 1.5 m;
or
.2
loading is carried out using trimming equipment approved by the competent
authority.
Non-cohesive bulk cargoes having an angle of repose greater than 35°
These cargoes shall be trimmed according to the following criteria:
*
.1
the unevenness of the cargo surface measured as the vertical distance (∆h)
between the highest and lowest levels of the cargo surface shall not exceed B/10,
where B is the beam of the ship in metres, with a maximum allowable ∆h = 2 m;
or
.2
loading is carried out using trimming equipment approved by the competent
authority.
Reference is made to chapter VI of the SOLAS Convention, and the International Code for the Safe Carriage of
Grain in Bulk adopted by the Maritime Safety Committee of the Organization by resolution MSC.23(59).

General
An angle of repose of a non-cohesive solid bulk material shall be measured by a method
approved by the appropriate authority as required by section 4.1.4 of this Code.
6.2
Recommended test methods
There are various methods in use to determine the angle of repose for non-cohesive solid bulk
materials. The recommended test methods are listed below:
6.2.1
Tilting box method
This laboratory test method is suitable for non-cohesive granular materials with a grain size not
greater than 10 mm. A full description of the equipment and procedure is given in subsection 2.1
of appendix 2.
6.2.2
Shipboard test method
In the absence of a tilting box apparatus, an alternative procedure for determining the
approximate angle of repose is given in subsection 2.2 of appendix 2.

Section 7
Cargoes which may liquefy
7.1
Introduction
7.1.1 The purpose of this section is to bring to the attention of masters and others with
responsibilities for the loading and carriage of bulk cargoes, the risks associated with liquefaction
and the precautions to minimize the risk. Such cargoes may appear to be in a relatively dry
granular state when loaded, and yet may contain sufficient moisture to become fluid under the
stimulus of compaction and the vibration which occurs during a voyage.
7.1.2 A ship’s motion may cause a cargo to shift sufficiently to capsize the vessel. Cargo shift
can be divided into two types, namely, sliding failure or liquefaction consequence. Trimming the
cargo in accordance with section 5 can prevent sliding failure.
7.1.3
Some cargoes which may liquefy may also heat spontaneously.
7.2
Conditions for hazards
7.2.1 Group A cargoes contain a certain proportion of small particles and a certain amount of
moisture. Group A cargoes may liquefy during a voyage even when they are cohesive and
trimmed level. Liquefaction can result in cargo shift. This phenomenon may be described
as follows:
7.2.2
.1
the volume of the spaces between the particles reduces as the cargo is compacted
owing to the ship motion, etc.;
.2
the reduction in space between cargo particles causes an increase in water pressure
in the space; and
.3
the increase in water pressure reduces the friction between cargo particles
resulting in a reduction in the shear strength of the cargo.
Liquefaction does not occur when one of the following conditions is satisfied:
.1
the cargo contains very small particles. In this case particle movement is
restricted by cohesion and the water pressure in spaces between cargo particles
does not increase;
.2
the cargo consists of large particles or lumps. Water passes through the spaces
between the particles and there is no increase in the water pressure.
Cargoes which consist entirely of large particles will not liquefy;
.3
the cargo contains a high percentage of air and low moisture content.
Any increase in the water pressure is inhibited. Dry cargoes are not liable to
liquefy.
I:\MSC\85\26-Add-2.doc
MSC 85/26/Add.2
ANNEX 3
Page 34
7.2.3 A cargo shift caused by liquefaction may occur when the moisture content exceeds the
TML. Some cargoes are susceptible to moisture migration and may develop a dangerous wet
base even if the average moisture content is less than the TML. Although the cargo surface may
appear dry, undetected liquefaction may take place resulting in shifting of the cargo. Cargoes
with high moisture content are prone to sliding, particularly when the cargo is shallow and
subject to large heel angles.
7.2.4 In the resulting viscous fluid state cargo may flow to one side of the ship with a roll but
not completely return with a roll the other way. Consequently the ship may progressively reach a
dangerous heel and capsize quite suddenly.
7.3
Provisions for cargoes which may liquefy
7.3.1
General
7.3.1.1 Concentrates or other cargoes which may liquefy shall only be accepted for loading
when the actual moisture content of the cargo is less than its TML. Notwithstanding this
provision, such cargoes may be accepted for loading on specially constructed or fitted cargo
ships even when their moisture content exceeds the TML.
7.3.1.2 Cargoes which contain liquids other than packaged canned goods or the like shall not be
stowed in the same cargo space above or adjacent to these solid bulk cargoes.
7.3.1.3 Adequate measures shall be taken to prevent liquids entering the cargo space in which
these solid bulk cargoes are stowed during the voyage.
7.3.1.4 Masters shall be cautioned about the possible danger of using water to cool these cargoes
while the ship is at sea. Introducing water may bring the moisture content of these cargoes to a
flow state. When necessary, due regard shall be paid to apply water in the form of a spray.
7.3.2
Specially constructed or fitted cargo ships
7.3.2.1 Cargoes having a moisture content in excess of the TML shall only be carried in
specially constructed cargo ships or in specially fitted cargo ships.
7.3.2.2 Specially constructed cargo ships shall have permanent structural boundaries, so arranged
as to confine any shift of cargo to an acceptable limit. The ship concerned shall carry evidence
of approval by the Administration.
7.3.2.3 Specially fitted cargo ships shall be fitted with specially designed portable divisions to
confine any shift of cargo to an acceptable limit. Specially fitted cargo ships shall be in
compliance with the following requirements:
.1
The design and positioning of such special arrangements shall adequately provide
not only the restraint of the immense forces generated by the flow movement of
high-density bulk cargoes, but also for the need to reduce to an acceptable safe
level the potential heeling movements arising out of a transverse cargo flow across
the cargo space. Divisions provided to meet these requirements shall not be
constructed of wood.
I:\MSC\85\26-Add-2.doc
MSC 85/26/Add.2
ANNEX 3
Page 35
.2
The elements of the ship’s structure bounding such cargo shall be strengthened,
as necessary.
.3
The plan of special arrangements and details of the stability conditions on which
the design has been based shall have been approved by the Administration.
The ship concerned shall carry evidence of approval by the Administration.
7.3.2.4 A submission made to an Administration for approval of such a ship shall include:
.1
relevant structural drawings, including scaled longitudinal and transverse sections;
.2
stability calculations, taking into account loading arrangements and possible cargo
shift, showing the distribution of cargo and liquids in tanks, and of cargo which
may become fluid; and
.3
any other information which may assist the Administration in the assessment of
the submission.

Section 8
Test procedures for cargoes which may liquefy
8.1
General
For a Group A cargo, the actual moisture content and transportable moisture limit shall be
determined in accordance with a procedure determined by the appropriate authority as required
by section 4.1.4 of this Code, unless the cargo is carried in a specially constructed or fitted ship.
8.2
Test procedures for measurement of moisture content
There are recognized international and national methods for determining moisture content for
various materials. Reference is made to paragraph 1.1.4.4 of appendix 2.
8.3
Methods for determining transportable moisture limit
The recommended methods for determining transportable moisture limit are given in appendix 2.
8.4
Complementary test procedure for determining the possibility of liquefaction
A ship’s master may carry out a check test for approximately determining the possibility of flow
on board ship or at the dockside by the following auxiliary method:
Half fill a cylindrical can or similar container (0.5 to 1 litre capacity) with a sample of the
material. Take the can in one hand and bring it down sharply to strike a hard surface such as a
solid table from a height of about 0.2 m. Repeat the procedure 25 times at one- or two-second
intervals. Examine the surface for free moisture or fluid conditions. If free moisture or a fluid
condition appears, arrangements should be made to have additional laboratory tests conducted on
the material before it is accepted for loading.

Section 9
Materials possessing chemical hazards
9.1
General
Solid bulk cargoes which may possess a chemical hazard during transport, because of their
chemical nature or properties, are in Group B. Some of these materials are classified as
dangerous goods and others are materials hazardous only in bulk (MHB). It is essential to obtain
current, valid information about the physical and chemical properties of the cargoes to be shipped
in bulk, prior to loading.
9.2
Hazard classification
9.2.1 The classification of materials possessing chemical hazards and intended to be shipped in
bulk under the requirements of this Code shall be in accordance with 9.2.2 and 9.2.3.
9.2.2
Classification of dangerous goods
SOLAS regulation VII/7 defines dangerous goods in solid form in bulk. For the purpose of
this Code, dangerous goods shall be classified in accordance with part 2 of the IMDG Code.
9.2.2.1 Class 4.1: Flammable solids
The materials in this class are readily combustible solids and solids which may cause fire through
friction.
9.2.2.2 Class 4.2: Substances liable to spontaneous combustion
The materials in this class are materials, other than pyrophoric materials, which, in contact with
air without energy supply, are liable to self-heating.
9.2.2.3 Class 4.3: Substances which, in contact with water, emit flammable gases
The materials in this class are solids which, by interaction with water, are liable to become
spontaneously flammable or to give off flammable gases in dangerous quantities.
9.2.2.4 Class 5.1: Oxidizing substances
The materials in this class are materials while in themselves not necessarily combustible, may,
generally by yielding oxygen, cause, or contribute to, the combustion of other material.
9.2.2.5 Class 6.1: Toxic substances
The materials in this class are materials liable either to cause death or serious injury or to harm
human health if swallowed or inhaled, or by skin contact.
I:\MSC\85\26-Add-2.doc
MSC 85/26/Add.2
ANNEX 3
Page 38
9.2.2.6 Class 7: Radioactive material
The materials in this class are any materials containing radionuclides where both the activity
concentration and the total activity in the consignment exceed the values specified in 2.7.7.2.1
to 2.7.7.2.6 of the IMDG Code.
9.2.2.7
Class 8: Corrosive substances
The materials in this class are materials which, by chemical action, will cause severe damage
when in contact with living tissue or will materially damage, or even destroy, other goods or the

The materials in this class are materials and articles which, during transport, present a danger not
covered by other classes.
9.2.3
Materials hazardous only in bulk (MHB)
These are materials which may possess chemical hazards when transported in bulk other than
materials classified as dangerous goods in the IMDG Code.
9.3
Stowage and segregation requirements
9.3.1
General requirements
9.3.1.1 The potential hazards of the cargoes in Group B and falling within the classification
of 9.2.2 and 9.2.3 entail the need for segregation of incompatible cargoes. Segregation shall also
take account of any identified subsidiary risk.
9.3.1.2 In addition to general segregation as between whole classes of materials there may be a
need to segregate a particular material from others. In the case of segregation from combustible
materials this shall be understood not to include packaging material, ceiling or dunnage; the latter
shall in these circumstances be kept to a minimum.
9.3.1.3 For the purpose of segregating incompatible materials, the words “hold” and
“compartment” are deemed to mean a cargo space enclosed by steel bulkheads or shell plating
and by steel decks. The boundaries of such a space shall be resistant to fire and liquid.
9.3.1.4 When two or more different solid bulk cargoes of Group B are to be carried, the
segregation between them shall be in accordance with 9.3.4.
9.3.1.5 Where different grades of a solid bulk cargo are carried in the same cargo space, the
most stringent segregation provisions applicable to any of the different grades shall apply to all
of them.
9.3.1.6 When solid bulk cargoes of Group B and dangerous goods in packaged form are to be
carried, the segregation between them shall be in accordance with 9.3.3.
I:\MSC\85\26-Add-2.doc
MSC 85/26/Add.2
ANNEX 3
Page 39
9.3.1.7 Incompatible materials shall not be handled simultaneously. Upon completion of
loading one cargo, the hatch covers of every cargo space shall be closed and the decks cleaned of
residue before the loading of other material is commenced. When discharging, the same
procedures shall be followed.
9.3.1.8 To avoid contamination, all foodstuffs shall be stowed:
.1
“separated from” a material which is indicated as toxic;
.2
“separated by a complete compartment or hold from” all infectious materials;
.3
“separated from” radioactive materials; and
.4
“away from” corrosive materials.
The terms are defined in 9.3.3 and 9.3.4, as appropriate.
9.3.1.9 Materials which may evolve toxic gases in sufficient quantities to affect health shall
not be stowed in those spaces from where such gases may penetrate into living quarters or
ventilation systems connecting to living quarters.
9.3.1.10 Materials which present corrosive hazards of such intensity as to affect either human
tissue or the ship’s structure shall only be loaded after adequate precautions and protective
measures have been taken.
9.3.1.11 After discharge of toxic or oxidizing cargoes, the spaces used for their carriage shall be
inspected for contamination before being used for other cargoes. A space which has been
contaminated shall be properly cleaned and examined before being used for other cargoes.
9.3.1.12 After discharge of cargoes, a close inspection shall be made for any residue, which
shall be removed before the ship is presented for other cargoes.
9.3.1.13 For cargoes for which in case of an emergency the hatches shall be opened, these
hatches shall be kept free to be capable of being opened up.
9.3.2
Special requirements
9.3.2.1 Materials of classes 4.1, 4.2 and 4.3
9.3.2.1.1 Materials of these classes shall be kept as cool and dry as reasonably practicable and,
unless expressly provided otherwise in this Code, shall be stowed “away from” all sources of
heat or ignition.
9.3.2.1.2 Electrical fittings and cables shall be in good condition and properly safeguarded
against short circuits and sparking. Where a bulkhead is required to be suitable for segregation
purposes, cable and conduit penetrations of the decks and bulkheads shall be sealed against the
passage of gas and vapour.

9.3.2.1.3 Cargoes liable to give off vapours or gases which can form an explosive mixture with
air shall be stowed in a mechanically ventilated space.
9.3.2.1.4 Prohibition of smoking in dangerous areas shall be enforced, and clearly legible
“NO SMOKING” signs shall be displayed.
9.3.2.2 Materials of class 5.1
9.3.2.2.1 Cargoes of this class shall be kept as cool and dry as reasonably practicable and,
unless expressly provided otherwise in this Code, shall be stowed “away from” all sources of
heat or ignition. They shall also be stowed “separated from” other combustible materials.
9.3.2.2.2 Before loading cargoes of this class, particular attention shall be paid to the cleaning
of the cargo spaces into which they will be loaded. As far as reasonably practicable,
non-combustible securing and protecting materials shall be used and only a minimum of dry
wooden dunnage shall be used.
9.3.2.2.3 Precautions shall be taken to avoid the penetration of oxidizing materials into other
cargo spaces, bilges and other spaces which may contain a combustible material.
9.3.2.3 Materials of class 7
9.3.2.3.1 Cargo spaces used for the transport of Low Specific Activity Materials (LSA-I) and
Surface Contaminated Objects (SCO-I) shall not be used for other cargoes until decontaminated
by a qualified person so that the non-fixed contamination on any surface when averaged over an
area of 300 cm2 does not exceed the following levels:
4 Bq/cm2 (10-4 µCi/cm2)
for beta and gamma emitters and the low-toxicity alpha emitters;
natural uranium; natural thorium; uranium-235 or uranium-238;
thorium-232; thorium-228 and thorium-230 when contained in ores,
physical or chemical concentrates; radionuclides with a half-life of
less than 10 days; and
0.4 Bq/cm2 (10-5 µCi/cm2) for all other alpha emitters.
9.3.2.4
9.3.2.4.1
Materials of class 8 or materials having similar properties
These cargoes shall be kept as dry as reasonably practicable.
9.3.2.4.2 Prior to loading these cargoes attention shall be paid to the cleaning of the cargo
spaces into which they will be loaded particularly to ensure that these spaces are dry.
9.3.2.4.3 Penetration of these materials into other cargo spaces, bilges, wells and between the
ceiling boards shall be prevented.
9.3.2.4.4 Particular attention shall be paid to the cleaning of the cargo spaces after unloading,
as residues of these cargoes may be highly corrosive to the ship’s structure. Hosing down of the
cargo spaces followed by careful drying shall be considered.

Carriage of solid wastes in bulk
10.1
Preamble
10.1.1 The transboundary movement of wastes represents a threat to human health and to the
environment.
10.1.2 Wastes shall be carried in accordance with the relevant international recommendations
and conventions and in particular, where it concerns transport in bulk by sea, with the provisions
of this Code.
10.2
Definitions
10.2.1 Wastes, for the purpose of this section, means solid bulk cargoes containing or
contaminated with one or more constituents which are subject to the provisions of this Code
applicable to cargoes of classes 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 5.1, 6.1, 8 or 9 for which no direct use is envisaged
but which are carried for dumping, incineration or other methods of disposal.
10.2.2 Transboundary movement of waste means any shipment of wastes from an area under
the national jurisdiction of one country to or through an area under the national jurisdiction of

Classification of wastes
10.6.1 A waste containing only one constituent which is a cargo subject to the provisions of
this Code applicable to cargoes of classes 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 5.1, 6.1, 8 or 9 shall be regarded as being
that particular cargo. If the concentration of the constituent is such that the waste continues to
present a hazard inherent in the constituent itself, it shall be classified as the class applicable to
that constituent.
10.6.2 A waste containing two or more constituents which are cargoes subject to the provisions
of this Code applicable to cargoes of classes 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 5.1, 6.1, 8 or 9 shall be classified under
the applicable class in accordance with their dangerous characteristics and properties as described
in 10.6.3 and 10.6.4.
10.6.3 The classification according to dangerous characteristics and properties shall be carried
out as follows:
.1
determination of the physical and chemical characteristics and physiological
properties by measurement or calculation followed by classification according to
the criteria applicable to the constituents; or
.2
if the determination is not practicable, the waste shall be classified according to
the constituent presenting the predominant hazard.
10.6.4 In determining the predominant hazard, the following criteria shall be taken into
account:
10.7
.1
if one or more constituents fall within a certain class and the waste presents
a hazard inherent in these constituents, the waste shall be included in that class; or
.2
if there are constituents falling under two or more classes, the classification of the
waste shall take into account the order of precedence applicable to cargoes with
multiple hazards set out in the IMDG Code.
Stowage and handling of wastes
Wastes shall be stowed and handled in accordance with the provisions of sections 1 to 9 of this
Code and with any additional provisions included in the individual schedules for cargoes in
Group B applicable to the constituents presenting the hazards.

Section 11
Security provisions
Introductory note
The provisions of this section address the security of bulk cargoes in transport by sea. It should
be borne in mind that some substances shipped as bulk cargo may, through their intrinsic nature,
or when shipped in combination with other substances, be used as constituents for, or enhance
the effect of, weapons used in the commission of unlawful acts. (It should also be borne in mind
that ships used to carry bulk cargoes may also be used as a means to transport unauthorized
weapons, incendiary devices or explosives, irrespective of the nature of the cargo carried.)
National competent authorities may apply additional security provisions, which should be
considered when offering or transporting bulk cargoes. The provisions of this chapter remain
recommendatory except subsection 11.1.1.
11.1
General provisions for companies, ships and port facilities
11.1.1
The relevant provisions of chapter XI-2 of SOLAS 74, as amended, and of part A of
the ISPS Code shall apply to companies, ships and port facilities both engaged in the handling
and transport of solid bulk cargoes and to which regulation XI-2 of SOLAS 74, as amended,
applies, taking into account the guidance given in part B of the ISPS Code.
11.1.2
Due regard should be given to the security-related provisions of the ILO/IMO Code of
practice on security in ports and the IMDG Code, as appropriate.
11.1.3
Any shore-based company personnel, ship-based personnel and port facility personnel
engaged in the handling and transport of bulk cargoes should be aware of any security
requirements for such cargoes, in addition to those specified in the ISPS Code, and
commensurate with their responsibilities.
11.1.4
The training of the company security officer, shore-based company personnel having
specific security duties, port facility security officer and port facility personnel having specific
duties, engaged in the handling and transport of bulk cargoes, should also include elements of
security awareness related to the nature of those cargoes, for example where such cargoes are
materials hazardous only in bulk.
11.1.5 All shipboard personnel and port facility personnel who are not mentioned in
subsection 11.1.4 and are engaged in the transport of bulk cargoes should be familiar with the
provisions of the relevant security plans related to those cargoes, commensurate with their
responsibilities.
11.2
General provisions for shore-side personnel
11.2.1 For the purpose of this subsection, shore-side personnel covers individuals such as
those who:
I:\MSC\85\26-Add-2.doc
MSC 85/26/Add.2
ANNEX 3
Page 49
-
prepare transport documents for bulk cargoes;
offer bulk cargoes for transport;
accept bulk cargoes for transport;
handle bulk cargoes;
prepare bulk cargoes’ loading/stowage plans;
load/unload bulk cargoes into/from ships; and
enforce or survey or inspect for compliance with applicable rules and regulations; or
are otherwise involved in the handling and transport of bulk cargoes as determined by
the competent authority.
However, the provisions of subsection 11.2 do not apply to:
-
the company security officer and appropriate shore-based personnel mentioned in
section A/13.1 of the ISPS Code;
the ship security officer and the shipboard personnel mentioned in sections A/13.2
and A/13.3 of the ISPS Code; and
the port facility security officer, the appropriate port facility security personnel and
the port facility personnel having specific security duties mentioned in
sections A/18.1 and A/18.2 of the ISPS Code.
For the training of those officers and personnel, refer to the ISPS Code.
11.2.2
Shore-side personnel engaged in transport by sea of bulk cargoes should consider
security provisions for the transport of bulk cargoes commensurate with their responsibilities.
11.2.3
Security training
11.2.3.1 The training of shore-side personnel should also include elements of security
awareness, the need to control access to cargoes and ships, and general guidance on the types of
bulk cargoes of security significance.
11.2.3.2 Security awareness training should address the nature of security risks, recognizing
security risks, methods to address and reduce risks and actions to be taken in the event of a security
breach. It should include awareness of security plans (if appropriate, refer to subsection 11.3),
commensurate with the responsibilities of individuals and their part in implementing security plans.
11.2.3.3 Such training should be provided or verified upon employment in a position involving
transport of bulk cargoes by sea and should be periodically supplemented with retraining.
11.2.3.4 Records of all security training undertaken should be kept by the employer and made
available to the employee if requested.
11.3
Provisions for high consequence solid bulk cargoes
11.3.1
For the purposes of this subsection, high consequence solid bulk cargoes with high
potential security implications are those which have the potential for misuse in an unlawful act and
which may, as a result, produce serious consequences such as mass casualties or mass destruction,
for example, Class 5.1 ammonium nitrate UN 1942 and ammonium nitrate fertilizers UN 2067.

AMMONIUM NITRATE BASED FERTILIZER UN 2071
DESCRIPTION
Usually granules. Wholly or partly soluble in water. Hygroscopic.
Ammonium nitrate-based fertilizers classified as UN 2071 are uniform ammonium nitrate based
fertilizer mixtures of the nitrogen, phosphate or potash, containing not more than 70%
ammonium nitrate and not more than 0.4% total combustible organic material calculated as
carbon or with not more than 45% ammonium nitrate and unrestricted combustible material.
Fertilizers within these composition limits are not subject to the provisions of this schedule when
shown by a trough test (see UN Manual of Tests and Criteria, part III, subsection 38.2) that they
are not liable to self-sustaining decomposition.
Notes:
1.
2.
3.
All nitrate ions for which there is present in the mixture a molecular equivalent of
ammonium ions should be calculated as ammonium nitrate.
The transport of ammonium nitrate materials which are liable to self-heating sufficient to
initiate a decomposition is prohibited.
The NPK proportions for a fertilizer should not be used as a guide to its ability to undergo
self-sustaining decomposition as this depends on the chemical species present (refer to
UN Manual of Tests and Criteria, part III, subsection 38.2).

HAZARD
These mixtures may be subject to self-sustaining decomposition if heated. The temperature in
such a reaction can reach 500°C. Decomposition, once initiated, may spread throughout the
remainder, producing gases which are toxic. None of these mixtures is subject to the explosion
hazard.
Fertilizer dust might be irritating to skin and mucous membranes.
This cargo is hygroscopic and will cake if wet.
STOWAGE & SEGREGATION
“Separated by a complete compartment or hold from” combustible materials (particularly liquid),
bromates, chlorates, chlorites, hypochlorites, nitrites, perchlorates, permanganates, powdered
metals and vegetable fibres (e.g., cotton, jute, sisal, etc.).
“Separated from” all other goods.
“Separated from” sources of heat or ignition (see also Loading).
Not to be stowed immediately adjacent to any tank or double bottom containing fuel oil heated to

BROWN COAL BRIQUETTES
HAZARD
1.
This cargo is easily ignited, liable to heat spontaneously and deplete oxygen in the cargo
space.
2.
This cargo is subject to oxidation, leading to depletion of oxygen and an increase in
carbon dioxide in the cargo space (see also section 3).
3.
This cargo is liable to heat spontaneously and may ignite spontaneously in the cargo
space. When spontaneous heating occurs, flammable and toxic gases, including carbon
monoxide, may be produced. Carbon monoxide is an odourless gas, slightly lighter than
air, and has flammable limits in air of 12% to 75% by volume. It is toxic by inhalation,
with an affinity for blood haemoglobin over 200 times that of oxygen. The recommended
threshold limit value (TLV) for carbon monoxide exposure is 50 ppm.
STOWAGE & SEGREGATION
1.
Boundaries of cargo spaces where these cargoes are carried shall be resistant to fire and
liquids.
2.
This cargo shall be “separated from” goods of classes 1 (division 1.4), 2, 3, 4 and 5 in
packaged form (see IMDG Code) and “separated from” solid bulk material of classes 4
and 5.1.
3.
Stowage of goods of class 5.1 in packaged form or solid bulk materials of class 5.1 above
or below this cargo shall be prohibited.
4.
This cargo shall be “separated longitudinally by an intervening complete compartment or
hold from” goods of class 1 other than division 1.4.
5
This cargo shall not be stowed adjacent to hot areas.
Note: For interpretation of these terms, see section 9.
LOADING
1.
Prior to loading, the shipper, or their appointed agent, shall provide in writing to the
master the characteristics of the cargo and the recommended safe handling procedures for
loading and transport of the cargo. As a minimum, the cargo’s contract specifications for
moisture content, sulphur content and size shall be stated.
2.
This cargo shall be stored for 7 days prior to loading. This substantially reduces the risk
of spontaneous combustion in subsequent transport, storage and handling.
3.
Before loading this cargo, the master shall ensure the following:
3.1
weather deck enclosures to the cargo space have been inspected to ensure their
integrity. Such closures are closed and sealed;
3.2
all electrical cables and components situated in cargo spaces and adjacent
enclosed spaces are free from defects. Such cables and electrical components are
safe to be used in a flammable and/or dusty atmosphere or positively isolated.
The provisions of this clause need not apply to engine-rooms where the
engine-room is separated from the cargo space by a gastight bulkhead with no
direct access.

Smoking and the use of naked flames shall not be permitted in the cargo areas and
adjacent spaces and appropriate warning notices shall be posted in conspicuous places.
Burning, cutting, chipping, welding or other sources of ignition shall not be permitted in
the vicinity of cargo spaces or in other adjacent spaces.
This cargo shall not be dropped more than one metre during loading to minimize the
production of dust and fines.
Individual cargo spaces shall be loaded without interruption, where possible. Hot spots
may develop in a cargo space that has been kept open for more than six days (or less in
weather over 30°C).
Prior to departure, the master shall be satisfied that the surface of the material has been
trimmed reasonably level to the boundaries of the cargo space to avoid the formation of
gas pockets and to prevent air from permeating the body of the briquettes. Casing leading
into the cargo space shall be adequately sealed. The shipper shall ensure that the master
receives the necessary cooperation from the loading terminal.
Individual cargo spaces shall be closed and sealed as soon as practicable after the cargo
has been loaded into each cargo space.
PRECAUTIONS
1.
The ship shall be suitably fitted and carry on board appropriate instruments for measuring
the following without requiring entry into the cargo space:
.1
concentration of methane in the atmosphere above the cargo and opening cargo
space enclosures;
.2
concentration of oxygen in the atmosphere above the cargo;
.3
concentration of carbon monoxide in the atmosphere above the cargo;
.4
pH value of cargo hold bilge samples.
These instruments shall be regularly serviced and calibrated. Ship personnel shall be
trained in the use of such instruments.
2.
It is recommended that means be provided for monitoring the temperature of the cargo in
the range of 0°C to 100°C to enable the measurement of temperature of the cargo during
the voyage without requiring entry into the cargo space.
CARRIAGE
1.
As far as practicable, any gases which may be emitted from the cargo shall not be allowed
to accumulate in adjacent enclosed spaces, such as store-rooms, carpenter’s shop,
passageways, tunnels, etc. Such spaces shall be adequately ventilated and regularly
monitored for methane, oxygen and carbon monoxide.
2.
Under no circumstances, except in emergency, shall the hatches be opened or the cargo
space be ventilated or entered during the voyage.
3.
The atmosphere in the space above the cargo in each cargo space shall be regularly
monitored for the concentrations of methane, oxygen and carbon monoxide.
4.
The frequency of the monitoring shall be determined based upon the information
provided by the shipper and the information obtained through the analysis of the
atmosphere in the cargo space. The monitoring shall be conducted at least daily and as
close as practical to the same time of day. The results of monitoring shall be recorded.
The shipper may request more frequent monitoring, particularly if there is evidence of
significant self-heating during the voyage.

ANNEX 3
Page 102

7.
8.
The following issues shall be taken into account:
5.1
The oxygen level in the sealed cargo space will fall from an initial 21% over a
period of days to stabilize at levels of the order of 6 to 15%. If the oxygen level
does not fall below 20%, or rapidly increases after an initial fall, it is possible that
the cargo space is inadequately sealed and is at risk of spontaneous combustion.
5.2
Carbon monoxide levels will build up to concentrations which fluctuate in
the 200 to 2000 parts per million (ppm) range in a safe, well-sealed cargo space.
A rapid increase of approximately 1000 ppm in carbon monoxide levels in this
cargo over a 24-hour period is a possible indicator of spontaneous combustion,
particularly if accompanied by an increase in methane levels.
5.3
The methane composition in briquette cargo is normally low, less than 5 ppm and
does not constitute a hazard. However, a sudden and continuing rise in methane
levels, to concentrations above 10 ppm, is an indicator of the occurrence of
spontaneous combustion in the hold.
5.4
The temperature in this cargo in a well-sealed cargo space normally remains
at 5 to 10°C above seawater temperature, the increase being due to normal diurnal
breathing of small quantities of air into the cargo space. Checking of the cargo
space seals to minimize air leakage is essential. A rapid increase in temperature
of approximately 20°C over 24 hours is evidence of spontaneous combustion.
Regular hold bilge testing shall be systematically carried out. If the pH monitoring
indicates that a corrosion risk exists, the master shall ensure that all bilges are kept dry
during the voyage in order to avoid possible accumulation of acids on tanktops and in the
bilge system.
When the behaviour of the cargo during the voyage differs from that specified in the
cargo information, the master shall report such differences to the shipper. Such reports
will enable the shipper to maintain records on the behaviour of this cargo, so that the
information being provided to the master can be reviewed in the light of the transport
experience.
When the master is concerned that the cargo is showing any signs of self-heating or
spontaneous combustion, such as an increase in the concentration of methane or carbon
monoxide or an increase in temperature, as described above, the following actions shall
be taken:
8.1
Consult with the ship’s agent at the loading port. The company’s designated
person ashore shall be advised immediately.
8.2
Check the seal of the cargo space and re-seal the cargo space, as necessary.
8.3
Do not enter the cargo space and do not open the hatches, unless the master
considers access is necessary for the safety of the ship or safety of life. When any
ship’s personnel have entered into a cargo space, re-seal the cargo space
immediately after the personnel vacate the cargo space.
8.4
Increase the frequency of monitoring the gas composition, and temperature when
practicable, of the cargo.
8.5
Send the following information, as soon as possible, to the ship’s owner or agent
at the loading port to obtain expert advice:
.1
the number of cargo spaces involved;
.2
monitoring results of the carbon monoxide, methane and oxygen
concentrations;
.3
if available, temperature of the cargo, location and method used to obtain
results;

special precautions indicated on the declaration;
the date of loading, and Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA) at the intended
discharge port (which shall be specified); and
any other comments or observations the master may consider relevant.
DISCHARGE
Prior to, and during, discharge:
1.
The cargo space shall be kept closed until just before the commencement of discharge of
that space. The cargo may be sprayed with a fine water spray to reduce dust.
2.
Personnel shall not enter the cargo space without having tested the atmosphere above the
cargo. The personnel entering into a cargo space in which the atmosphere contains
oxygen levels below 21% shall wear self-contained breathing apparatus. Carbon dioxide
and carbon monoxide gas levels shall also be tested prior to entry into the cargo spaces.
The recommended threshold limit value (TLV) for carbon monoxide is 50 ppm.
3.
During discharge, attention shall be paid to the cargo for signs of hot spots
(i.e. steaming). If a hot spot is detected, the area shall be sprayed with fine water spray
and the hot spot shall be removed immediately to prevent spreading. The hot spot cargo
shall be spread out on the wharf away from the remainder of the cargo.
4.
Prior to suspending the discharge of this cargo for more than eight hours, the hatch covers
and all other ventilation for the cargo space shall be closed.
PROCEDURES FOR GAS MONITORING OF
BROWN COAL BRIQUETTE CARGOES
1
Observations
1.1
Carbon monoxide monitoring, when conducted in accordance with the following
procedures, will provide a reliable early indication of self-heating within this cargo. This allows
preventive action to be considered without delay. A sudden rapid rise in carbon monoxide
detected within a cargo space, particularly if accompanied by an increase in methane levels, is a
conclusive indication that self-heating is taking place.
1.2
All vessels engaged in the carriage of this cargo shall carry on board an instrument for
measuring methane, oxygen and carbon monoxide gas concentrations, to enable the monitoring
of the atmosphere within the cargo space. This instrument shall be regularly serviced and
calibrated in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. Care shall be exercised in
interpreting methane measurements carried out in the low oxygen concentrations often found in
unventilated cargo holds. The catalytic sensors normally used for the detection of methane rely
on the presence of sufficient oxygen for accurate measurement. This phenomenon does not
affect the measurement of carbon monoxide, or measurement of methane by infrared sensor.
Further guidance may be obtained from the instrument manufacturer.

Sampling and measurement procedure
2.1
Equipment
2.1.1 An instrument which is capable of measuring methane, oxygen and carbon monoxide
concentrations shall be provided on board a ship carrying this cargo. The instrument shall be
fitted with an aspirator, flexible connection and a length of spark-proof metal tubing to enable a
representative sample to be obtained from within the square of the hatch.
2.1.2 When recommended by the manufacturer, a suitable filter shall be used to protect the
instrument against the ingress of moisture. The presence of even a small amount of water will
compromise the accuracy of the measurement.
2.2
Siting of sampling points
2.2.1 In order to obtain meaningful information about the behaviour of this cargo in a cargo space,
gas measurements shall be made via one sample point per cargo space. To ensure flexibility of
measurement in adverse weather, however, two sample points shall be provided per cargo space,
one on the port side and one on the starboard side of the hatch cover or hatch coaming (refer to
diagram of gas sampling point). Measurement from either of these locations is satisfactory.
2.2.2 Each sample point shall comprise a hole of diameter approximately 12 mm positioned as
near to the top of the hatch coaming as possible. It shall be sealed with a sealing cap to prevent
ingress of water and air. It is essential this cap be securely replaced after each measurement to
maintain a tight seal.
2.2.3
The provision of any sample point shall not compromise the seaworthiness of the vessel.

ANNEX 3
Page 126
APPENDIX
COAL
Properties and characteristics
1.
Coals may emit methane, a flammable gas. A methane/air mixture containing between 5%
and 16% methane constitutes an explosive atmosphere which can be ignited by sparks or
naked flame, e.g., electrical or frictional sparks, a match or lighted cigarette. Methane is
lighter than air and may, therefore, accumulate in the upper region of the cargo space or
other enclosed spaces. If the cargo space boundaries are not tight, methane can seep
through into spaces adjacent to the cargo space.
2.
Coals may be subject to oxidation, leading to depletion of oxygen and an increase in
carbon dioxide or carbon monoxide concentrations in the cargo space. Carbon monoxide
is an odourless gas, slightly lighter than air, and has flammable limits in air of 12%
to 75% by volume. It is toxic by inhalation with an affinity for blood haemoglobin
over 200 times that of oxygen.
3.
Some coals may heat spontaneously and the spontaneous heating may lead to spontaneous
combustion in the cargo space. Flammable and toxic gases, including carbon monoxide,
may be produced.
4.
Some coals may be liable to react with water and produce acids which may cause
corrosion. Flammable and toxic gases, including hydrogen, may be produced. Hydrogen
is an odourless gas, much lighter than air, and has flammable limits in air of 4% to 75%
by volume.
Segregation and stowage requirements
1.
Unless expressly provided otherwise, boundaries of cargo spaces where this cargo is
carried shall be resistant to fire and liquids.
2.
This cargo shall be “separated from” goods of classes 1 (division 1.4), 2, 3, 4 and 5 in
packaged form (see IMDG Code) and “separated from” solid bulk materials of classes 4
and 5.1.
3.
Stowage of goods of class 5.1 in packaged form or solid bulk materials of class 5.1 above
or below this cargo shall be prohibited.
4.
The master shall ensure that this cargo is not stowed adjacent to hot areas.
5.
This cargo shall be “separated longitudinally by an intervening complete compartment or
hold from” goods of class 1 other than division 1.4.
Note: For interpretation of these terms, see section 9.
General requirements for all types of these cargoes
1.
Prior to loading, the shipper or his appointed agent shall provide in writing to the master
the characteristics of the cargo and the recommended safe handling procedures for
loading and transport of the cargo. As a minimum, the cargo’s contract specifications for
moisture content, sulphur content and size shall be stated, and especially whether the
cargo may be liable to emit methane or self-heat.
2.
Before loading, the master shall ensure the following:
2.1
All cargo spaces and bilge wells are clean and dry. Any residue of waste material or
previous cargo is removed, including removable cargo battens; and

All electrical cables and components situated in cargo spaces and adjacent enclosed
spaces are free from defects. Such cables and electrical components are safe for use in an
explosive atmosphere or positively isolated. The provisions of this clause need not apply
to engine-rooms where the engine-room is separated from the cargo space by a gastight
bulkhead with no direct access.
The ship shall be suitably fitted and carry on board appropriate instruments for measuring
the following without requiring entry in the cargo space:
.1
concentration of methane in the atmosphere;
.2
concentration of oxygen in the atmosphere;
.3
concentration of carbon monoxide in the atmosphere; and
.4
pH value of cargo space bilge samples.
These instruments shall be regularly serviced and calibrated. Ship personnel shall be
trained in the use of such instruments. Details of gas measurement procedures are given
at the end of this appendix.
It is recommended that means be provided for measuring the temperature of the cargo in
the range 0°C to 100°C to enable the measurement of temperature of the cargo while
being loaded and during voyage without requiring entry into the cargo space.
Smoking and the use of naked flames shall not be permitted in the cargo areas and
adjacent spaces and appropriate warning notices shall be posted in conspicuous places.
Burning, cutting, chipping, welding or other sources of ignition shall not be permitted in
the vicinity of cargo spaces or in other adjacent spaces, unless the space has been properly
ventilated and the methane gas measurements indicate it is safe to do so.
Prior to departure, the master shall be satisfied that the surface of the material has been
trimmed reasonably level to the boundaries of the cargo space to avoid the formation of
gas pockets and to prevent air from permeating the body of the briquettes. Casings
leading into the cargo space shall be adequately sealed. The shipper shall ensure that the
master receives the necessary co-operation from the loading terminal.
The atmosphere in the space above the cargo in each space shall be regularly monitored
for the concentration of methane, oxygen and carbon monoxide. Details of gas
monitoring procedures are given at the end of this appendix. The results of monitoring
shall be recorded. The frequency of the monitoring shall be determined based upon the
information provided by the shipper and the information obtained through the analysis of
the atmosphere in the cargo space.
Unless expressly provided otherwise, surface ventilation shall be conducted in all cargo
spaces carrying this cargo for the first 24 hours after departure from the loading port.
During this period, the atmosphere in the cargo spaces shall be monitored once from one
sample point per cargo space and for the purpose of the gas monitoring, the ventilation
shall be stopped for an appropriate period prior to the gas monitoring.
When the methane concentrations monitored within 24 hours after departure are at an
acceptably low level, the ventilation openings shall be closed and the atmosphere in the
cargo spaces shall be monitored. When the methane concentrations monitored
within 24 hours after departure are not at an acceptably low level, surface ventilation shall
be maintained, except for an appropriate period for gas monitoring, and the atmosphere in
the cargo spaces shall be monitored. This procedure shall be followed until the methane
concentrations become acceptably low level. In any event, the atmosphere in the cargo
spaces shall be monitored on a daily basis.
When significant concentrations of methane are subsequently observed in unventilated
cargo spaces, the appropriate special precautions for coals emitting methane shall apply.

The master shall ensure, as far as practicable, that any gases which may be emitted from
this cargo do not accumulate in adjacent enclosed spaces.
The master shall ensure that enclosed working spaces such as storerooms, carpenter’s
shop, passageways, tunnels, etc., are regularly monitored for the presence of methane,
oxygen and carbon monoxide. Such spaces shall be adequately ventilated.
Regular hold bilge testing shall be systematically carried out during voyage carrying this
cargo. If the pH monitoring indicates that a corrosion risk exists, bilges shall be
frequently pumped out during the voyage in order to avoid possible accumulation of acids
on tanktops and in the bilge system.
If the behaviour of the cargo during the voyage differs from that specified in the cargo
declaration, the master shall report such differences to the shipper. Such reports will
enable the shipper to maintain records on the behaviour of the coal cargoes, so that the
information provided to the master can be reviewed in the light of transport experience.
Special precautions
1
Coals emitting methane
When the shipper has informed that the cargo is liable to emit methane or analysis of the
atmosphere in the cargo space indicates the presence of methane in excess of 20% of the Lower
Explosion Limit (LEL), the following additional precautions shall be taken:
.1
.2
.3
.4
Adequate surface ventilation shall be maintained, except for an appropriate period for the
purpose of gas monitoring.
Care shall be taken to remove any accumulated gases prior to operation of the hatch
covers or other openings for any reason, including discharging. Care shall be taken to
operate hatch covers of the cargo spaces and other openings to avoid creating sparks.
Smoking and the use of naked flame shall be prohibited.
Personnel shall not be permitted to enter the cargo space or enclosed adjacent spaces
unless the space has been ventilated and the atmosphere tested and found to be gas-free
and to have sufficient oxygen to support life. Notwithstanding these provisions,
emergency entry into the cargo space may be permitted without ventilation, testing the
atmosphere or the both, provided that the entry into the cargo space is undertaken only by
trained personnel wearing self-contained breathing apparatus under the supervision of a
responsible officer and special precautions are observed to ensure that no source of
ignition is carried into the space.
The master shall ensure that enclosed working spaces such as storerooms, carpenter’s
shops, passageways, tunnels, etc., are regularly monitored for the presence of methane.
Such spaces shall be adequately ventilated and, in the case of mechanical ventilation, only
equipment safe for use in an explosive atmosphere shall be used.
2
Self-heating coals
When the shipper informed that the cargo is likely to self-heat or analysis of the atmosphere in
the cargo space indicates an increasing concentration of carbon monoxide, then the following
additional precautions shall be taken:
.1
The cargo spaces shall be closed immediately after completion of loading in each cargo
space. The hatch covers may also be additionally sealed with a suitable sealing tape.
Only natural surface ventilation shall be permitted and ventilation shall be limited to the
absolute minimum time necessary to remove methane which may have accumulated.
I:\MSC\85\26-Add-2.doc
MSC 85/26/Add.2
ANNEX 3
Page 129
.2
.3
.4
.5
3
Personnel shall not enter the cargo space during voyage, unless they are wearing
self-contained breathing apparatus and access is critical to safety of life and the safety of
the ship.
Prior to loading, temperature of this cargo shall be monitored. This cargo shall only be
accepted for loading when the temperature of the cargo is not higher than 55°C.
When the carbon monoxide level is increasing steadily, a potential self-heating may be
developing. In such a case, the cargo space shall be completely closed and all ventilation
ceased, and the master shall seek expert advice immediately. Water shall not be used for
cooling material or fighting coal cargo fires at sea, but may be used for cooling the
boundaries of the cargo space.
When the carbon monoxide level in any cargo space reaches 50 ppm or exhibits a steady
rise over three consecutive days, a self-heating condition may be developing and the
master shall inform the shipper and the company of, at least, the following information if
an accurate assessment of the situation is to be achieved:
.1
identity of the cargo spaces involved; monitoring results covering carbon
monoxide, methane and oxygen concentrations;
.2
if available, temperature of the cargo, location and method used to obtain results;
.3
time gas sample taken (monitoring routine);
.4
time ventilators opened/closed;
.5
quantity of coal in hold(s) involved;
.6
type of coal as per cargo information, and any special precautions indicated on
information;
.7
date loaded, and ETA at intended discharge port (which shall be specified); and
.8
comments or observations from the ship’s master.
Gravity fed self-unloading bulk carrier
3.1
A gravity fed self-unloading bulk carrier means a vessel that has gravity fed systems from
the bottom of cargo holds, using gates that may be opened or closed to feed the cargo onto
conveyor belts. Such belts run in fore and aft direction underneath the holds; from there the
cargo is carried by means of conveyor systems to the deck and discharged onto shore with a
self-unloading boom that can extend over the shore and has a conveyor belt. This is not
applicable for the vessels with unloading systems such as cranes and grabs.
3.2
When this cargo is carried on a gravity fed self-unloading bulk carrier, the following
requirements of this appendix need not apply:
-
paragraph 1 of “Segregation and stowage requirements”; and
-
paragraph 9 of “General requirements for all types of these cargoes”.
3.3
Loaded voyage procedures for atmospheric monitoring of cargoes
3.3.1
Bulk coal cargo safety procedures
3.3.1.1 These requirements apply when these cargoes are to be carried on a gravity fed
self-unloading bulk carrier. It is recommended that a document, such as a flow chart, describing
cargo operations and carriage procedures for these cargoes be provided to the ship by the vessel’s
operator.
I:\MSC\85\26-Add-2.doc
MSC 85/26/Add.2
ANNEX 3
Page 130
3.4
Ventilation
3.4.1 When ventilating, it shall be ensured that excess air does not ingress excessively into the
body of the cargo of coal as this may eventually promote self-heating.
3.4.2 Due to the presence of non-airtight unloading gates at the bottom of the cargo hoppers
just above the tunnels, the following methods of ventilation shall be used:
-
if methane is detected in the tunnel, it shall be “positive pressure” ventilated (more
supply than exhaust in the tunnels to remove methane gas); and
-
if carbon monoxide is detected in the tunnel, it shall be “negative pressure” ventilated
(more exhaust than supply in the tunnels to remove carbon monoxide). The release of
carbon monoxide may be an indication of self-heating.
Procedures for gas monitoring of coal cargoes
1
Observations
1.1
Carbon monoxide monitoring, when conducted in accordance with the following
procedures, will provide a reliable early indication of self-heating within this cargo. This allows
preventive action to be considered without delay.
A steady rise in the level of carbon monoxide detected within a cargo space is a conclusive
indication that self-heating is taking place.
1.2
All vessels engaged in the carriage of this cargo shall carry on board an instrument for
measuring methane, oxygen and carbon monoxide gas concentrations, to enable the monitoring
of the atmosphere within the cargo space. This instrument shall be regularly serviced and
calibrated in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. Care shall be exercised in
interpreting methane measurements carried out in the low oxygen concentrations often found in
unventilated cargo holds. The catalytic sensors normally used for the detection of methane rely
on the presence of sufficient oxygen for accurate measurement. This phenomenon does not
affect the measurement of carbon monoxide, or measurement of methane by infrared sensor.
Further guidance may be obtained from the instrument manufacturer.
2
Sampling and measurement procedure
2.1
Equipment
2.1.1 An instrument which is capable of measuring methane, oxygen and carbon monoxide
concentrations shall be provided on board a ship carrying this cargo. The instrument shall be
fitted with an aspirator, flexible connection and a length of spark-proof metal tubing to enable a
representative sample to be obtained from within the square of the hatch.
2.1.2 When recommended by the manufacturer, a suitable filter shall be used to protect the
instrument against the ingress of moisture. The presence of even a small amount of moisture will
compromise the accuracy of the measurement.

ANNEX 3
Page 131
2.2
Siting of sampling points
2.2.1 In order to obtain meaningful information about the behaviour of this cargo in a cargo
space, gas measurements shall be made via one sample point per cargo space. To ensure
flexibility of measurement in adverse weather two sample points shall be provided per cargo
space, one on the port side and one on the starboard side of the hatch cover or hatch coaming.
(Refer to the diagram of gas sampling point.) Measurement from either of these locations is
satisfactory.

connect the instrument to the sampling tube;
draw a sample of the atmosphere through the tube, using the aspirator, until steady
readings are obtained;

ANNEX 3
Page 132

.5
2.4
log the results on a form which records cargo space, date and time for each
measurement; and
put back the sealing cap.
Measurement strategy
The identification of incipient self-heating from measurement of gas concentrations is more
readily achieved under unventilated conditions. This is not always desirable because of the
possibility of the accumulation of methane to dangerous concentrations. This is primarily, but
not exclusively, a problem in the early stages of a voyage. Therefore it is recommended that
cargo spaces are initially ventilated until measured methane concentrations are at an acceptably
low level.
2.5
Measurement in unventilated holds
Under normal conditions one measurement per day is sufficient as a precautionary measure.
However, if carbon monoxide levels are higher than 30 ppm then the frequency shall be
increased to at least twice a day at suitably spaced intervals. Any additional results shall be
logged.
2.6
Measurement in ventilated holds
2.6.1 If the presence of methane is such that the ventilators are required to remain open, then a
different procedure shall be applied to enable the onset of any incipient self-heating to be
detected.
2.6.2 To obtain meaningful data the ventilators shall be closed for a period before the
measurements are taken. This period may be chosen to suit the operational requirements of the
vessel, but it is recommended that it is not less than four hours. It is vital in the interests of data
interpretation that the shutdown time is constant whichever time period is selected. These
measurements shall be taken on a daily basis.

Measurement in unventilated cargo and self-unloading spaces
2.7.1.1 When the shipper has declared that the coal cargo has or may have self-heating
characteristics, the holds shall not be ventilated unless otherwise specified in this section.
2.7.1.2 Under normal conditions one measurement per day is sufficient as a precautionary
measure. If carbon monoxide levels are higher than 30 ppm then the frequency of measurements
shall be increased to at least twice daily, at suitable intervals. Any additional results shall be
logged.

2.7.1.3 If the carbon monoxide level in any hold indicates a steady rise or reaches 50 ppm a
self-heating condition may be developing and the owners of the vessel shall be notified as
outlined in the procedures. Above this level, the vessel shall operate on “negative pressure”
ventilation, in order to reduce the amount of carbon monoxide. Regular monitoring of carbon
monoxide levels shall continue.
2.7.1.4 Persons entering cargo or unloading spaces with carbon monoxide levels higher
than 30 ppm shall not do so without self-contained breathing apparatus.*
2.7.2
Measurement in ventilated cargo and self-unloading spaces
2.7.2.1 If the presence of methane is indicated by monitor, and such that ventilation is required,
then a different procedure shall be applied to enable the onset of any possible self-heating to be
detected. “Positive pressure” or “through ventilation” shall be operated to remove the methane.
2.7.2.2 To obtain meaningful data the ventilators and/or ventilation shall be closed for a period
before measurements are taken. This period may be chosen to suit the operational requirements
of the vessel, but it is recommended that it is not less than four hours. It is vital in the interests of
data interpretation that the shutdown time is constant whichever time period is selected. These
measurements shall be taken on a daily basis. If the carbon monoxide results exhibit a steady
rise, or exceed 50 ppm on any day, the owner shall be notified.
2.7.2.3 In addition the following points shall be considered:
*
-
at no time shall ventilation be shut down when crew members are in the
self-unloading spaces;
-
special fire-fighting equipment and/or procedures may be necessary for the vessel;
and
-
establish specific crew training for gravity fed self-unloading bulk carriers.
Refer to the Recommendations for entering enclosed spaces aboard ships, adopted by the Organization by

WEATHER PRECAUTIONS
This cargo shall be kept as dry as practicable during loading and the voyage. Open storage is
acceptable prior to loading. This cargo shall not be loaded onto ships or transferred between
ships or barges during precipitation. During loading of this cargo all non-working hatches of the
cargo spaces into which this cargo is loaded or to be loaded shall be kept closed. Only when
weather permits may non-working hatch covers be left open for a minimum of 1 hour after
completion of each pour to allow cooling after cargo handling in bulk.
LOADING
Prior to loading this cargo, the shipper shall provide the master with a certificate issued by a
competent person recognized by the National Administration of the port of loading stating that
the cargo, at the time of loading, is suitable for shipment and that it conforms with the
requirements of this Code; that the quantity of fines and small particles (up to 6.35 mm in size)
is no more than 5% by weight; the moisture content is less than 1.0% and the temperature does
not exceed 65°C.
This cargo shall not be loaded when the temperature is in excess of 65°C, if its moisture content
is in excess of 1.0% or if the quantity of fines and small particles (up to 6.35 mm in size)
exceeds 5% by weight.
Appropriate precautions shall be taken during loading in order to have a cargo composed of
essentially whole briquettes. The cargo shall be loaded in such a way so as to minimize breakage
of briquettes and the additional generation of fines and small particles and concentration of fines
in any area of the cargo. The addition of fines and particles less than 6.35 mm or dust in
homogenous cargoes of briquettes shall be prohibited.
Trim in accordance with the relevant provisions required under sections 4 and 5 of the Code.
Due consideration shall be given to evenly spreading the cargo across the tanktop to minimize
the concentration of fines.
The cargo temperature shall be monitored during loading and recorded in a log detailing the
temperature for each lot of cargo loaded, a copy of which shall be provided to the master. After
loading, a certificate, confirming that throughout the whole consignment the fines and small
particles (under 6.35 mm in size) are less than 5% by weight, shall be issued by a competent
person recognized by the National Administration of the port of loading.
PRECAUTIONS
The carrier’s nominated technical persons or other representatives shall have reasonable access to
stockpiles and loading installations for inspection.
Shippers shall provide comprehensive information on the cargo and safety procedures to be
followed in the event of emergency. The shipper may also provide advice in amplification of this
Code but the advice shall not be contrary thereto in respect of safety.
Where practicable, ballast tanks adjacent to the cargo spaces containing this cargo, other than
double-bottom tanks, shall be kept empty. Weather deck closures and hatch covers shall be
inspected and tested to ensure integrity and weather tightness which shall be maintained
throughout the voyage.

HAZARD
Temporary increase in temperature of about 30oC due to self-heating may be expected after
material handling in bulk.
There is a risk of overheating, fire and explosion during transport. This cargo reacts with air and
with fresh water or seawater to produce heat and hydrogen. Hydrogen is a flammable gas that
can form an explosive mixture when mixed with air in concentrations above 4% by volume. The
reactivity of this cargo depends upon the origin of the ore, the process and temperature of
reduction, and the subsequent ageing procedures. Cargo heating may generate very high
temperatures that are sufficient to ignite the cargo. Build-up of fines may also lead to
self-heating, auto-ignition and explosion. Oxygen in cargo spaces and enclosed spaces may be
depleted.
STOWAGE & SEGREGATION
“Separated from” goods of classes 1 (division 1.4S), 2, 3, 4 and 5, and class 8 acids in packaged
form (See IMDG Code).
“Separated from” solid bulk materials of classes 4 and 5.
Goods of class 1, other than division 1.4S, shall not be carried in the same ship.
Boundaries of compartments where this cargo is carried shall be resistant to fire and passage of
liquid.

HOLD CLEANLINESS
The cargo spaces shall be clean, dry and free from salt and residues of previous cargoes. Prior to
loading, wooden fixtures such as battens, loose dunnage, debris and combustible materials shall
be removed.
WEATHER PRECAUTIONS
The cargo shall be kept dry at all times during storage, before and during loading, and during
transportation. The cargo shall not be loaded onto ships, or transferred between ships or barges,
during precipitation. During loading of this cargo, all non-working hatches of cargo spaces into
which this cargo is loaded, or is to be loaded, shall be kept closed.
LOADING
Prior to loading, the terminal shall ensure that the conveyor belts used for loading this cargo
contain no accumulation of water or other substances. Each time cargo operations are
commenced or restarted, particularly after rain or washing down, any loading belt shall be
operated empty and not over a ship’s cargo space.
Prior to loading, an ultrasonic test or another equivalent method with a suitable instrument shall
be conducted to ensure weather tightness of the hatch covers and closing arrangements and all
readings shall confirm weather tightness.
Prior to loading this cargo, the shipper shall provide the master with a certificate issued by a
competent person recognized by the National Administration of the port of loading stating that the
cargo, at the time of loading, is suitable for shipment, and that it conforms with the requirements
of this Code; that the quantity of fines and small particles is no more than 5% by weight; that the
moisture content is less than 0.3%; and that the temperature does not exceed 65°C. This
certificate shall state the date of manufacture for each lot of cargo to be loaded in order to meet
the loading criteria in regards to ageing and material temperature.
The cargo shall not be accepted for loading when its temperature is in excess of 65°C or if its
moisture content is in excess of 0.3% or if the quantity of fines and small particles exceeds 5%
by weight. Any cargo that has been wetted, or is known to have been wetted, shall not be loaded
into any cargo space.
Prior to loading, provision shall be made to introduce a dry, inert gas at tanktop level so that the
inert gas purges the air from the cargo and fills the free volume above. Nitrogen is preferred for
this purpose. All vents, accesses and other openings such as coaming drains that could allow the
inert atmosphere to be lost from cargo spaces carrying this cargo shall be closed and sealed.
The cargo shall be loaded in such a way as to minimize both the breakage of the cold-moulded
briquettes, pellets, lumps and the additional generation of fines and the concentrating of fines in
any area of the cargo. This cargo shall be homogenous with no added waste. The addition of
DRI particles, fines or dust in this cargo shall be prohibited.
Due consideration shall be given to evenly spreading the cargo across the tanktop to minimize
the concentration of fines. Trim in accordance with the relevant provisions required under
sections 4 and 5 of the Code.

ANNEX 3
Page 155
The cargo temperature and moisture shall be monitored during loading and recorded in a log
detailing the temperature and moisture for each lot of cargo loaded, a copy of which shall be
provided to the master. After loading, a certificate shall be issued by a competent person
recognized by the National Administration of the port of loading confirming that throughout the
whole consignment fines and small particles (under 6.35 mm size) are less than 5% by weight,
that the moisture content has not exceeded 0.3% and the temperature does not exceed 65°C.
On completion of loading of a cargo space, it shall be immediately closed and sealed. Sufficient
inert gas shall then be introduced to achieve an oxygen concentration less than 5% throughout the
cargo space.
PRECAUTIONS
Due consideration shall be given to the possibility of moisture inside the cargo pile in order to
avoid loading of wet cargo or a wet part of the cargo recognizing that the bottom of the pile can
be wet even though the surface of cargo pile looks dry. The carrier’s nominated technical
persons or other representatives shall have reasonable access to stockpiles and loading
installations for inspection.
Prior to shipment, the cargo shall be aged for at least 3 days, or treated with an air-passivation
technique, or another equivalent method, that reduces the reactivity to the same level as the aged
product. Such aging process shall be approved by the competent authority that shall also provide
a certificate to that effect.
Shippers shall provide comprehensive information on the cargo and safety procedures to be
followed in the event of emergency. This advice may be an amplification of this Code, but shall
not be contrary thereto in respect of safety.
Where practicable, ballast tanks adjacent to the cargo spaces containing this cargo, other than
double-bottom tanks, shall be kept empty. Weather tightness shall be maintained throughout the
voyage. Bilge wells of the cargo spaces shall be clean, dry and protected from ingress of the
cargo using non-combustible material.
Due consideration shall be given to protecting equipment, machinery and accommodation spaces
from the dust of the cargo. Radars and exposed radio communication equipment of ships which
carry this cargo shall be protected from the dust of this cargo. Persons who may be exposed to
the dust of the cargo shall wear protective clothing, goggles or other equivalent dust
eye-protection and dust filter masks, as necessary.
During any handling of this cargo “NO SMOKING” signs shall be posted on decks and in areas
adjacent to cargo spaces, and no naked lights shall be permitted in these areas. Smoking,
burning, cutting, chipping, grinding or other sources of ignition shall not be allowed in the
vicinity of cargo spaces containing this cargo at any time.
Cargo spaces containing this cargo and adjacent spaces may become oxygen-depleted.
Flammable gas may also build up in these spaces. All precautions shall be taken when entering
the cargo spaces.

ANNEX 3
Page 156
The ship shall be provided with the means to ensure that the requirement of this Code to maintain
the oxygen concentration below 5% can be achieved throughout the voyage. The ship’s fixed
CO2 fire-fighting system shall not be used for this purpose. Consideration shall be given to
providing the vessel with the means to top up the cargo spaces with additional supplies of inert
gas taking into account the duration of the voyage.
The ship shall be provided with the means for reliably measuring the temperatures at several
points within the stow, and determining the concentrations of hydrogen and oxygen in the cargo
space atmosphere on voyage whilst minimizing as far as practicable the loss of the inert
atmosphere.
Any cargo that has already been loaded into a cargo space and which subsequently becomes
wetted, or in which reactions have started, shall be discharged without delay.
The ship shall not sail until the master and a competent person recognized by the National
Administration of the port of loading are satisfied:
.1
that all loaded cargo spaces are correctly sealed and inerted;
.2
that the temperature of the cargo has stabilized at all measuring points and that the
temperature does not exceed 65oC; and
.3
that at the end of the inerting process, the concentration of hydrogen in the free space of
the holds has stabilized and does not exceed 0.2% by volume.
VENTILATION
The cargo spaces carrying this cargo shall remain tightly sealed and the inert condition
maintained during the voyage.
CARRIAGE
For quantitative measurements of hydrogen and oxygen, suitable detectors shall be on board

GASES RELEASES FROM FERROSILICON IMPURITIES WHEN WATER IS ADDED
(i)
Arsine
Arsine is a toxic, colourless gas with a garlic like odour.
Toxicity
Arsine is a nerve and blood poison. There is generally a delay before the onset of symptoms
(sometimes a day or so). These are at first indefinite.
Symptoms
1
Feeling of malaise, difficulty in breathing, severe headache, giddiness, fainting fits,
nausea, vomiting and gastric disturbances.
2
In severe cases, vomiting may be pronounced, the mucous membranes may have a bluish
discolouration and urine is dark and bloodstained. After a day or so there is severe anaemia and
jaundice.
Concentration
A concentration of 500 ppm is lethal to humans after exposure of a few minutes, while
concentrations of 250 ppm are dangerous to life after 30 minutes exposure. Concentrations
of 6.25 to 15.5 ppm are dangerous after exposure of 30 to 60 minutes. A concentration
of 0.05 ppm is the threshold long limit to which a person may be exposed.
(ii)
Phosphine
Phosphine is colourless, flammable and highly toxic and has the odour of rotting fish.
Toxicity
Phosphine acts on the central nervous system and the blood.
Symptoms
The symptoms exhibited by phosphine poisoning are an oppressed feeling in the chest, headache,
vertigo, general debility, loss of appetite and great thirst. Concentrations of 2000 ppm for a few
minutes and 400 to 600 ppm are dangerous to life. 0.3 ppm is the maximum concentration
tolerable for several hours without symptoms.
No long-term exposures to this gas shall be permitted.

METAL SULPHIDE CONCENTRATES
(See also Mineral Concentrates schedule)
DESCRIPTION
Mineral concentrates are refined ores in which the valuable components have been enriched by
eliminating the bulk of waste materials. Generally the particle size is small although
agglomerates sometimes exist in concentrates which have not been freshly produced.
The most common concentrates in this category are: zinc concentrates, lead concentrates,
copper concentrates and low grade middling concentrates.

PEAT MOSS
DESCRIPTION
Surface mined from mires, bogs, fens, muskeg and swamps. Types include moss peat, sedge peat
and grass peat. Physical properties depend on organic matter, water and air content, botanical
decomposition and degree of decomposition.
May range from a highly fibrous cohesive mass of plant remains which when squeezed in its
natural state exudes clear to slightly coloured water, to a well decomposed, largely amorphous
material with little or no separation of liquid from solids when squeezed.
Typically air-dried peat has low density, high compressibility and high water content; in its
natural state it can hold 90 percent or more of water by weight of water when saturated.

APPENDIX
SCRAP METAL
Handling of this cargo varies from magnets to spider grabs, depending usually on the size of
material. This cargo may include articles from the size of car bodies to fine metal turnings
(swarf). The weight of individual pieces will also vary greatly, ranging from heavy machinery to
tin cans.
Loading
Before loading, the cargo spaces shall be prepared as per general loading practice and any areas
liable to be damaged by falling cargo shall be protected with dunnage. This includes decks and
coamings in way of the material’s path to the cargo spaces. Removing the ship’s side rails may
be advisable.
A layer of this cargo shall be carefully placed over the tanktop in the square to cushion any
fall out. Magnet and grab drivers shall be instructed not to release their loads too high above the
pile.
The usual method of loading is to form a pile along the ship’s centre line and use the slope to roll
material into the ends and sides. Every effort must be made to work the wings and ends to
evenly distribute the weight. If this is not done, the light high volume pieces will roll to the
wings and the small heavy pieces will concentrate in the square.
When pumping the bilge wells, the master shall be aware of that a certain amount of dirt and oil
can be expected from old machinery. Broken glass and sharp jagged edges may be present and
care shall be taken by personnel working near scrap.
Before hatches are closed, the cargo spaces shall be checked that no sharp projections could
pierce the ship’s side.

WOOD PELLETS
DESCRIPTION
The Wood Pellets are light blond to chocolate brown in colour; very hard and cannot be easily
squashed. Wood Pellets have a typical specific density between 1,100 to 1,700 kg/m3 and a bulk
density of 600 to 750 kg/m3. Wood Pellets are made of sawdust, planer shavings and other wood
waste such as bark coming out of the lumber manufacturing processes. Normally there are no
additives or binders blended into the pellet, unless specified. The raw material is fragmented,
dried and extruded into pellet form. The raw material is compressed approximately 3.5 times and
the finished Wood Pellets typically have a moisture content of 4 to 8%. Wood Pellets are used as
a fuel in district heating and electrical power generation as well as a fuel for small space heaters
such as stoves and fireplaces.
Wood Pellets are also used as animal bedding due to the absorption characteristics. Such Wood
Pellets typically have a moisture content of 8 to 10%.

LABORATORY TEST PROCEDURES, ASSOCIATED APPARATUS
AND STANDARDS
1
Test procedures for materials which may liquefy and associated apparatus
Three methods of testing for the transportable moisture limit are currently in general use:
.1
flow table test;
.2
penetration test;
.3
Proctor/Fagerberg test.
As each method has its advantages, the selection of the test method should be determined by
local practices or by the appropriate authorities.
1.1
Flow table test procedure
1.1.1
Scope
The flow table is generally suitable for mineral concentrates or other fine material with a
maximum grain size of 1 mm. It may also be applicable to materials with a maximum grain size
up to 7 mm. It will not be suitable for materials coarser than this and may also not give
satisfactory results for some materials with high clay content. If the flow table test is not suitable
for the material in question, the procedures to be adopted should be those approved by the
authority of the port State.
The test described below provides for determination of:
.1
the moisture content of a sample of cargo, hereinafter referred to as the test
material;
.2
the flow moisture point (FMP) of the test material under impact or cyclic forces of
the flow table apparatus; and
.3
the transportable moisture limit of the test material.

be used for the mixing operations. In this case, care should be exercised to ensure
that the use of such a mechanical mixer does not reduce the particle size or
consistency of the test material.
.8

should be without air circulation.

1.1.3
Temperature and humidity
It is preferable to work in a room where the samples will be protected from excessive
temperatures, air currents and humidity variations. All phases of the material preparation and
testing procedure should be accomplished in a reasonable space of time to minimize moisture
losses and, in any event, within the day of commencement. Where possible, sample containers
should be covered with plastic film or other suitable cover.
1.1.4
Procedure
The quantity of material required for a flow moisture test will vary according to the specific
gravity of the material to be tested. It will range from approximately 2 kg for coal to 3 kg for
mineral concentrates. It should be collected as a representative sample of the cargo being
shipped. Experience has shown that more accurate test results will be obtained by ensuring that
the moisture content of the test sample is increased rather than decreased towards the FMP.
I:\MSC\85\26-Add-2.doc
MSC 85/26/Add.2
ANNEX 3
Page 329
Consequently, it is recommended that a preliminary flow moisture test should be conducted,
generally in accordance with the following, to indicate the condition of the test sample, i.e. the
quantity of water and the rate at which it is to be added or whether the sample should be air-dried
to reduce its moisture content before commencing the main flow moisture test.
1.1.4.1
Preparation of the test sample
The representative sample of test material is placed in the mixing bowl and thoroughly mixed.
Three subsamples (A), (B) and (C) are removed from the mixing bowl as follows: about one fifth
of the sample (A) should be immediately weighed and placed in the drying oven to determine the
moisture content of the sample “as received”. Two further subsamples, each of about two fifths
of the gross weight, should then be taken, one (B) for the preliminary FMP test and the other (C)
for the main FMP determination:
.1
Filling the mould. The mould is placed on the centre of the flow table and filled
in three stages with the material from the mixing bowl. The first charge, after
tamping, should aim to fill the mould to approximately one third of its depth.
The quantity of sample required to achieve this will vary from one material to
another, but can readily be established after some experience has been gained of
the packing characteristics of the material being tested.
The second charge, after tamping, should fill the mould to about two thirds of its
depth and the third and final charge, after tamping, should reach to just below the
top of the mould (see figure 1.1.4.2).
.2
Tamping procedure. The aim of tamping is to attain a degree of compaction
similar to that prevailing at the bottom of a shipboard cargo of the material being
tested. The correct pressure to be applied is calculated from:
Tamping pressure (Pa)
= Bulk density of cargo (kg/m3)
x Maximum depth of cargo (m)
x Gravity acceleration (m/s2)
Bulk density can be measured by a single test, using the Proctor C apparatus
described in ASTM Standard D-698 or JIS-A-1210, on a sample of the cargo at
the proposed moisture content of loading.
When calculating the tamping pressure, if no information concerning cargo depth
is available the maximum likely depth should be used.
Alternatively, the pressure may be estimated from table 1.1.4.1.
The number of tamping actions (applying the correct, steady pressure each time)
should be about 35 for the bottom layer, 25 for the middle and 20 for the top layer,
tamping successively over the area completely to the edges of the sample to
achieve a uniformly flat surface for each layer.
.3
Removal of the mould. The mould is tapped on its side until it becomes loose,
leaving the sample in the shape of a truncated cone on the table.

1.1.4.2
The preliminary flow moisture test:
.1
Immediately after removing the mould, the flow table is raised and dropped up
to 50 times through a height of 12.5 mm at a rate of 25 times per minute. If the
material is below the FMP, it usually crumbles and bumps off in fragments with
successive drops of the table (see figure 1.1.4-3).
.2
At this stage, the flow table is stopped and the material returned to the mixing
bowl, where 5-10 ml of water, or possibly more, is sprinkled over the surface and
thoroughly mixed into the material, either with rubber-gloved fingers or an
automatic mixer.
The mould is again filled and the flow table is operated as described in 1.1.4.2.1
for up to 50 drops. If a flow state is not developed, the process is repeated with
further additions of water until a flow state has been reached.
.3
*
Identification of a flow state. The impacting action of the flow table causes the
grains to rearrange themselves to produce compaction of the mass. As a result,
the fixed volume of moisture contained in the material at any given level increases
as a percentage of the total volume. A flow state is considered to have been
reached when the moisture content and compaction of the sample produce a level
of saturation such that plastic deformation occurs*. At this stage, the moulded
sides of the sample may deform, giving a convex or concave profile
(see figure 1.1.4-4).
In certain conditions, the diameter of the cone may increase before the flow moisture point is reached, due to
low friction between the grains rather than to plastic flow. This must not be mistaken for a flow state.
I:\MSC\85\26-Add-2.doc
MSC 85/26/Add.2
ANNEX 3
Page 331
With repeated action of the flow table, the sample continues to slump and to flow
outwards. In certain materials, cracks may also develop on the top surface.
Cracking, with the appearance of free moisture, is not, however, an indication of
development of a flow state. In most cases, measurement of the deformation is
helpful in deciding whether or not plastic flow has occurred. A template which,
for example, will indicate an increase in diameter of up to 3 mm in any part of the
cone is a useful guide for this purpose. Some additional observations may be
useful. For example: when the (increasing) moisture content is approaching
the FMP, the sample cone begins to show a tendency to stick to the mould.
Further, when the sample is pushed off the table, the sample may leave tracks
(stripes) of moisture on the table. If such stripes are seen, the moisture content
may be above the FMP: the absence of tracks (stripes) is not necessarily an
indication of being below the FMP.
Measuring the diameter of the cone, at the base or at half height, will always be
useful. By addition of water in increments of 0.4% to 0.5% and applying 25 drops
of the flow table, the first diameter increase will generally be between 1 and 5 mm
and after a further increment of water the base diameter will have expanded
by between 5 and 10 mm.
.4
As an alternative to the procedure described above, for many concentrates a fast
way of finding the approximate FMP is as follows:
When the moisture content is definitely beyond the FMP, measure the diameter
after 25 drops, repeat the test after adding a further increment of water, measure
the diameter and draw a diagram as illustrated in figure 1.1.4-1, showing increase
in diameter plotted against moisture content. A straight line drawn through the
two points will cross the moisture content axis close to the FMP.
Having completed the preliminary FMP test, the sample for the main test is adjusted to the
required level of moisture content (about 1% to 2%) below the flow point.
1.1.4.3
Main flow moisture test
When a flow state has been reached in the preliminary test, the moisture content of
sub-sample (C) is adjusted to about 1% to 2% less than the last value which did not cause flow in
the preliminary test (this is suggested simply to avoid starting the main test too close to the FMP
and then having to waste time air-drying it and starting again). The final test is then carried out
on this adjusted sample in the same manner as for the preliminary test, but in this case with the
addition of water in increments of no more than 0.5% of the mass of the test material (the lower
the “preliminary” FMP, the smaller the increments should be). After each stage, the whole
moulded sample should be placed in a container, weighed immediately and retained for moisture
determination if required. This will be necessary if the sample flowed or if the next, slightly
wetter, sample flows. If not required it may be returned to the mixing bowl.
When a flow state has been reached, the moisture content should be determined on two samples,
one with moisture content just above the FMP and the other with moisture content just below the
FMP. The difference between the two values should then be 0.5% or less, and the FMP is taken
as the mean of these two values.

Determination of moisture content
Introduction
It should be noted that, for many materials, there are recognized international and national
methods for determining moisture content. These methods, or ones that have been established to
give equivalent results, should be followed.
I:\MSC\85\26-Add-2.doc
MSC 85/26/Add.2
ANNEX 3
Page 334
Concentrates and similar materials
It is clearly important that the samples should be dried to a constant mass. In practice, this is
ascertained after a suitable drying period at 105oC by weighing the sample successively with an
interval of several hours elapsing. If the mass remains constant, drying has been completed,
whereas if the mass is still decreasing, drying should be continued.
The length of the drying period depends upon many variables, such as the disposition of the
material in the oven, the type of container used, the particle size, the rate of heat transfer, etc.
It may be that a period of five hours is ample for one concentrate sample, whereas it is not
sufficient for another. Sulphide concentrates tend to oxidize, and therefore the use of drying
ovens with air circulation systems is not recommended for these materials, nor should the test
sample be left in the drying oven for more than four hours.
Coal
The recommended methods for determination of the moisture content are those described
in ISO 589-1974, “Hard Coal – Determination of Total Moisture”. This method, or ones that
have been established to give equivalent results, should be followed.
Calculation of moisture content, FMP and transportable moisture limit:
Taking m1 as the exact mass of the subsample “as received” (see 1.1.4.1),
Taking m2 as the exact mass of the “as received” subsample, after drying,
Taking m3 as the exact mass of the sample just above the flow state (see 1.1.4.3),
Taking m4 as the exact mass of the sample just above the flow state, after drying,
Taking m5 as the exact mass of the sample just below the flow state (see 1.1.4.3),
Taking m6 as the exact mass of the sample just below the flow state, after drying,
Then:
.1
The moisture content of the concentrate “as received” is:
(m1 − m 2 )
× 100, in per cent
m1
.2
The FMP of the material is:
(m3 − m 4 ) m5 − m 6

Peat Moss
For all Peat Moss, determine the bulk density, using either the ASTM or CEN (20 litres) method.
Peat should be above or below 90kg/cubic metre on a dry weight basis in order to obtain the
correct TML.
As indicated in 1.1.1, the following should be determined:
1.2
.1
the moisture content of a sample of cargo (MC);
.2
the flow moisture point (FMP);
.3
the transportable moisture limit (TML). The TML will be determined as follows:
.3.1
for peat with a bulk density of greater than 90 kg/cubic metre on a dry weight
is 85% of the FMP; and
.3.2
for peat with a bulk density of 90 kg/cubic metre or less on a dry weight,
the TML is 90% of the FMP.
Penetration test procedure
The penetration test constitutes a procedure whereby a material in a cylindrical vessel is vibrated.
The flow moisture point is determined on the basis of the penetration depth of an indicator.
1.2.1 Scope
.1
The penetration test is generally suitable for mineral concentrates, similar
materials, and coals up to a top size of 25 mm.
.2
In this procedure, the sample, in a cylindrical vessel, is subjected to vertical
vibration of 2g rms + 10% (g = gravity acceleration) for 6 minutes. When the
penetration depth of a bit put on the surface exceeds 50 mm, it is judged that the
sample contains a moisture greater than the flow moisture point.
.3
This procedure consists of a preliminary test to get an approximate value of the
flow moisture point and a main test to determine the accurate flow moisture point.
When the approximate value of the flow moisture point is known, the preliminary
test can be omitted.
.4
The room where the samples are tested should be prepared as mentioned in 1.1.3.
1.2.2 Apparatus (see figure 1.2.2)
.1
The test apparatus consists of:
.1
I:\MSC\85\26-Add-2.doc
a vibrating table;
MSC 85/26/Add.2
ANNEX 3
Page 336
.2
cylindrical vessels;
.3
indicators (penetration bits and a holder);
.4
a tamper (see 1.1.2.4); and
.5
ancillary equipment (see 1.1.2.5 to .8).
.2
The vibrator (see figure 1.2.2.2), with a table on which a cylindrical vessel can be
clamped, should be capable of exciting a mass of 30 kg at a frequency of
either 50 Hz or 60 Hz with an acceleration of 3g rms or more, and it can be
controlled to adjust the acceleration level.
.3
Dimensions of cylindrical vessels (see figures 1.2.2.3-1 and 1.2.2.3-2) are as
follows:
Cylinder size
Inner diameter
Depth
Wall thickness
small
146 mm
202 mm
9.6 mm or more
large
194 mm
252 mm
10.3 mm or more
The vessels should be made of reasonably rigid, non-magnetic, impermeable and
lightweight material such as acrylics or vinyl chloride.
The small cylindrical vessel is selected for the materials having a maximum
particle size of 10 mm or less. The large cylindrical vessel is for those having a
maximum particle size of 25 mm or less.
.4
Penetration bits (see figure 1.2.2.4) are made of brass. The mass of the bit for coal
should be adjusted to 88 g (5 kPa), and that for concentrates to 177 g (10 kPa).
When the sample contains coarse particles, it is recommended that two bits of the
same pressure are put on the surface to avoid misjudgment.
.5
A holder (see figure 1.2.2.5) should be made to guide the rod of a bit with
minimum friction to the centre of a cylindrical vessel. When two bits are used,
they should be positioned in accordance with figure 1.2.2.
.6
A cylindrical vessel and penetration indicators should be selected in accordance
with the nature and condition of the test sample, viz. size of particles and
bulk density.

Page 337
1.2.3 Procedure
1.2.3.1
Preparation of the test sample and the vibrating table:
.1
The quantity of the sample required is approximately six times or more the
capacity of the selected cylindrical vessel. The amount of representative test
sample with which each container is filled should be as follows:
approximately 1,700 cm3 for the small container, and 4,700 cm3 for the large
container.
.2
Mix the sample well and divide into three approximately equal sub-samples,
namely (A), (B) and (C). The sub-sample (A) should be immediately weighed
and placed in the drying oven to determine the moisture content of the sample
“as received”.
The sub-samples (B) and (C) are used for the preliminary test and the main test,
respectively.
.3
1.2.3.2
The vibration level of the vibrating table should be calibrated, using an
acceleration meter, prior to carrying out testing. The acceleration of the table
should be adjusted to 2g rms + 10% with a container filled with a sample mounted
on the table.
Preliminary flow moisture test
This test is intended to measure quickly the approximate flow moisture point, using
sub-sample (B). Water is added in increments after every penetration test. When a flow state has
been reached, the moisture content of the sample just above the flow state is measured.
The moisture content of the sample just below the flow state can be calculated by deducting the
increment of water last added from the gross mass of the sample.
.1
Fill the appropriate cylindrical vessel with sub-sample (B) in four distinct stages
and tamp after the addition of each layer using a specified tamper. Tamp to
a pressure denoted in 1.1.4.1 for mineral concentrates or to 40 kPa for coals, and
apply the pressure evenly over the whole surface area of the material until
a uniformly flat surface is obtained.
.2
Place the penetration bit on the surface of the material through the holder.
.3
Operate the vibrator at a frequency of 50 Hz or 60 Hz with an acceleration
of 2g rms + 10% for 6 minutes. If necessary, the acceleration level should be
checked by referring to the output of the acceleration meter attached to the
vibrating table.
.4
After 6 minutes of vibration, read the depth of penetration.

Measure the moisture content in accordance with the procedure described
in 1.1.4.4.
.3
Calculate the moisture content of the sample just below the flow moisture
point on the basis of the amount of water added.
If the penetration depth in the first attempt exceeds 50 mm, i.e. the sample as
received liquefied, mix sub-samples (B) and (C) and dry at room temperature to
reduce the moisture. Then, divide the material into two sub-samples (B) and (C),
and repeat the preliminary test.
The main flow moisture test
.1
On the basis of the preliminary test, the main test should be carried out to
determine the flow moisture point more accurately.
.2
Adjust the moisture content of the sub-sample (C) to the last value, which did not
cause flow in the preliminary flow moisture test.
.3
The first test of the main flow moisture test is carried out on this adjusted sample
in the same manner as described in 1.2.3.2. In this case, however, the addition of
water in increments should not be more than 0.5% of the mass of the test material.
.4
When the approximate value of the flow moisture point is known in advance, the
moisture content of the sub-sample (C) is adjusted to approximately 90% of
this value.
.5
When a flow state has been reached, the flow moisture point is determined as
described in 1.1.4.3.

Proctor/Fagerberg test procedure
1.3.1 Scope
.1
Test method for both fine and relatively coarse-grained ore concentrates or similar
materials up to a top size of 5 mm. This method should not be used for coal or
other porous materials.
.2
Before the Proctor/Fagerberg test is applied to coarser materials with a top size
greater than 5 mm, an extensive investigation for adoption and improvement is
required.
.3
The transportable moisture limit (TML) of a cargo is taken as equal to the critical
moisture content at 70% degree of saturation according to the Proctor/Fagerberg
method test.
1.3.2 Proctor/Fagerberg test equipment
.1
The Proctor apparatus (see figure 1.3.2) consists of a cylindrical iron mould with a
removable extension piece (the compaction cylinder) and a compaction tool
guided by a pipe open at its lower end (the compaction hammer).
.2
Scales and weights (see 3.2) and suitable sample containers.
.3
A drying oven with a controlled temperature interval from 100o C to
maximum 105oC. This oven should be without air circulation.
.4
A suitable mixer. Care should be taken to ensure that the use of the mixer does
not reduce the particle size or consistency of the test material.
.5
Equipment to determine the density of the solid material, for example a
pycnometer.
1.3.3.3 Temperature and humidity (see 1.1.3)
1.3.4 Procedure
.1
Establishment of a complete compaction curve. A representative sample
according to a relevant standard (see section 4.7, page 20) of the test material is
dried at a temperature of approximately 100oC. The total quantity of the test
material should be at least three times as big as required for the complete test
sequence. Compaction tests are executed for five to ten different moisture
contents (five to ten separate tests). The samples are adjusted in order that dry to
almost saturated (plastic) samples are obtained. The required quantity per
compaction test is about 2000 cm3.

Figure 1.3.4.2
At each compaction test a suitable amount of water is added to the sample of the dried
test material and mixed thoroughly for 5 minutes. Approximately one fifth of the mixed
sample is filled into the mould and levelled and then the increment is tamped uniformly
over the surface of the increment. Tamping is executed by dropping the hammer 25 times
through the guide pipe, 0.2 m each time. The performance is repeated for all five layers.
When the last layer has been tamped the extension piece is removed and the sample is
levelled off along the brim of the mould. When the weight of the cylinder with the
tamped sample has been determined, the cylinder is emptied, the sample is dried and the
weight is determined.
The test then is repeated for the other samples with different moisture contents.

Test procedures to determine the angle of repose and associated apparatus
2.1
Determination of angle of repose of fine-grained materials (size less than 10 mm):
“tilting box test”. For use in laboratory or port of loading
2.1.1 Scope
The test provides for the determination of the angle of repose of fine-grained non-cohesive
materials (size less than 10 mm). The results so obtained may be used when interpreting
sections 5 and 6 of this Code for the materials in question.
2.1.2 Definition
The angle of repose obtained by this test is the angle formed between the horizontal and the top
of the testbox when the material in the box just begins to slide in bulk.
2.1.3 Principle of test
When measuring the angle of repose by this method, the material surface should initially be level
and parallel to the testbox base. The box is tilted without vibration and tilted without vibration
and tilting is stopped when the product just begins to slide in bulk.
2.1.4 Apparatus (see figure 2.1.4)
Apparatus is as follows:
.1
A framework, on top of which is attached an open box. Attachment of the box to
the frame is by means of a shaft passing through bearings affixed to both the
frame and the end of the box, enabling the box to be subjected to a controlled tilt.
.2
The dimensions of the box are 600 mm long, 400 mm wide and 200 mm high.
.3
To prevent sliding of the material along the bottom of the box during tilting, a
tightly fitting grating (openings 30 mm x 30 mm x 25 mm) is placed on the
bottom of the box before filling.
.4
Tilting of the box is effected by a hydraulic cylinder fitted between the frame and
the bottom of the box. Other means may be used to obtain the required tilting but
in all cases vibration must be eliminated.
.5
To pressurize the hydraulic cylinder, a hydropneumatic accumulator may be used,
pressurized by air or gas at a pressure of about 5 kp/cm2.
.6
The rate of tilting should be approximately 0.3o/s.
.7
Range of tilt should be at least 50o.
I:\MSC\85\26-Add-2.doc
MSC 85/26/Add.2
ANNEX 3
Page 350
Figure 2.1.4 – Basic sketch of tilting box
.8
A protractor is fitted to the end of the shaft. One lever of the protractor is fitted so
that it may be screw-adjusted to the horizontal.
.9
The protractor should measure the angle of the top of the box to the horizontal to
within an accuracy of 0.5o.
.10
A spirit level or some other levelling device should be available to zero
the protractor.
I:\MSC\85\26-Add-2.doc
MSC 85/26/Add.2
ANNEX 3
Page 351
Procedure
2.1.5
The box is filled with the material to be tested by pouring it slowly and carefully from the lowest
practical height into the box in order to obtain uniformity of loading.
The excess material is scraped off with the aid of a straight edge, inclined at about 45o towards
the direction of scraping.
The tilting system is then activated and stopped when the material just begins to slide in bulk.
The angle of the top of the box to the horizontal is measured by the protractor and recorded.
Evaluation
2.1.6
The angle of repose is calculated as the mean of three measurements and is reported to within
half a degree.
Preferably the test should be carried out with three independent samples.
Notes:
Care should be taken to ensure that the shaft is adjusted to be horizontal before testing.
2.2
Alternative or shipboard test method to be used for the determination of the angle of
repose when the tilting box is not available
2.2.1
Definition
According to this method the angle of repose is the angle between the cone slope and the
horizontal measured at half height.
Principle of test
2.2.2
To determine the angle of repose, a quantity of the material to be tested is poured very carefully
out of a flask onto a sheet of rough-textured paper, in such a way that a symmetrical cone is
formed.
Equipment
2.2.3
The necessary equipment to carry out this test is as follows:
-
a horizontal table free from vibrations;
-
a sheet of rough-textured paper onto which the material should be poured;
-
a protractor; and
-
a 3-litre conical flask.
I:\MSC\85\26-Add-2.doc
MSC 85/26/Add.2
ANNEX 3
Page 352
2.2.4
Procedure
Put the sheet of paper on the table. Split 10l of the material to be tested into three sub-samples
and test each in the following way:
Pour two thirds of the sub-sample (i.e. 2 l) onto the sheet, producing a starting cone. The remainder
of this sub-sample is then poured very carefully from a height of a few millimetres on top of the
cone. Care should be taken that the cone will be built up symmetrically. This may be achieved
by revolving the flask slowly close around the top of the cone when pouring.
When measuring, care should be taken that the protractor does not touch the cone; otherwise this
may result in sliding of the material and spoil the test.
The angle has to be measured at four places around the cone, about 90 degrees apart.
This test should be repeated on the other two sub-samples.
2.2.5
Calculations
The angle of repose is taken as the mean of the 12 measurements and is reported to half a degree.
This figure can be converted to the tilting box value as follows:
at = as + 3o
(2.2.5)
Where at = angle of repose according to the tilting box text
as = angle of repose according to the survey test

Trough test for determination of the self-sustaining exothermic decomposition of
fertilizers containing nitrates*
4.1
Definition
A fertilizer capable of self-sustaining decomposition is defined as one in which decomposition
initiated in a localized area will spread throughout the mass. The tendency of a fertilizer offered
for transport to undergo this type of decomposition can be determined by means of the trough
test. In this test localized decomposition is initiated in a bed of the fertilizer to be contained in a
horizontally mounted trough. The amount of propagation, after removal of the initiating heat
source, of decomposition through the mass is measured.

Apparatus and materials
The apparatus (figure 4-1) consists of a trough of internal dimensions 150 mm x 150 mm x 500 mm,
open at the top. The trough is constructed of square-meshed gauze (preferably stainless steel)
with a mesh width of about 1.5 mm and a wire thickness of 1.0 mm supported on a frame made
from, for example, 15 mm wide, 2 mm thick steel bars. The gauze at each end of the trough may
be replaced by 1.5 mm thick, 150 mm x 150 mm stainless steel plates. The trough should be
rested on a suitable support. Fertilizers with a particle size distribution such that a significant
amount falls through the mesh of the trough should be tested in a trough of smaller mesh gauze,
or alternatively in a trough lined with gauze of a smaller mesh. During initiation sufficient heat
should be provided and maintained to establish a uniform decomposition front. Two alternative
heating methods are recommended, viz:
A
Aluminium or stainless steel sheathing (thickness 3 mm)
B
Insulating plate (thickness 5 mm)
C
Aluminium foil or stainless steel plate (thickness 3 mm)
D
Position of heating device in trough
Figure 4-2 – Electrical heating device (capacity 250 W)
4.2.1 Electrical heating
An electrical heating element (capacity 250 W) enclosed in a stainless steel box is placed inside
and at one end of the trough (figure 4-2). The dimensions of the stainless steel box
are 145 mm x 145 mm x 10 mm, and the wall thickness is 3 mm. The side of the box which is not
in contact with the fertilizer should be protected with a heat shield (insulation plate 5 mm thick).
The heating side of the box may be protected with aluminium foil or a stainless steel plate.

ANNEX 3
Page 359
4.2.2
Gas burners
A steel plate (thickness 1 mm to 3 mm) is placed inside one end of the trough and in contact with
the wire gauze (figure 4-1). The plate is heated by means of two burners which are fixed to the
trough support and are capable of maintaining the plate at temperatures between 400oC and 600o C,
i.e. dull red heat.
4.2.3 To prevent heat transport along the outside of the trough, a heat shield consisting of a
steel plate (2 mm thick) should be installed at about 50 mm from the end of the trough where the
heating takes place.
4.2.4 The life of the apparatus may be prolonged if it is constructed of stainless steel
throughout. This is particularly important in the case of the gauze trough.
4.2.5 Propagation may be measured using thermocouples in the substance and recording the
time at which a sudden temperature rise occurs as the reaction front reaches the thermocouple.
4.3
Procedure
4.3.1 The apparatus should be set up under a fume hood to remove toxic decomposition gases
or in an open area where the fumes can be readily dispersed. Although there is no explosion risk,
when performing the test it is advisable to have a protective shield, e.g., of suitable transparent
plastics, between the observer and the apparatus.
4.3.2 The trough is filled with the fertilizer in the form to be offered for shipment and
decomposition is initiated at one end, either electrically or by means of gas burners as described
above. Heating should be continued until decomposition of the fertilizer is well established and
propagation of the front (over approximately 30 mm to 50 mm) has been observed. In the case of
products with high thermal stability, it may be necessary to continue heating for two hours.
If fertilizers show a tendency to melt, the heating should be done with care, i.e. using a
small flame.
4.3.3 About 20 minutes after the heating has been discontinued, the position of the
decomposition front is noted. The position of the reaction front can be determined by difference
in colour, e.g., brown (undecomposed fertilizer) to white (decomposed fertilizer), or by the
temperature indicated by adjacent pairs of thermocouples which bracket the reaction front.
The rate of propagation may be determined by observation and timing or from thermocouple
records. It should be noted whether there is no propagation after heating is discontinued or
whether propagation occurs throughout the substance.
4.4
Test criteria and method of assessing results
4.4.1 If propagation of the decomposition continues throughout the substance the fertilizer is
considered capable of showing self-sustaining decomposition.
4.4.2 If propagation does not continue throughout the substance, the fertilizer is considered to
be free from the hazard of self-sustaining decomposition.

Description of the Test of Resistance to Detonation
5.1
Principle
5.1.1 The test sample is confined in a steel tube and subjected to detonation shock from an
explosive booster charge. Propagation of the detonation is determined from the degree of
compression of lead cylinders on which the tube rests horizontally during the test.
5.2
Sample preparation
5.2.1 The test must be carried out on a representative sample of cargo. Before being tested for
resistance to detonation, the whole mass of the sample is to be thermally cycled five times
between 25°C and 50°C (+ 1°C) in sealed tubes. The sample shall be maintained at the extreme
temperatures, measured at the centre of the sample, for at least 1 hour during each thermal cycle
and at 20°C (+ 3°C) after complete cycling until tested.
5.3
Materials
Seamless steel tube to ISO 65-1981-Heavy or equivalent
Tube length
1,000 mm
Nominal external diameter
114 mm
Nominal wall thickness
5 to 6.5 mm
Bottom plate (160 x 160 mm) of good weldable quality, thickness 5 to 6 mm to be butt-welded to
one end of the tube around the entire circumference.
Initiation system and booster
Electrical blasting cap or detonating cord with non-metallic sleeve (10 to 13 g/m).
Compressed pellet of secondary explosive, such as hexogen/wax 95/5 or tetryl, with a
central recess to take the detonator.
500 ± 1 gramme plastic explosive containing 83 to 86 % penthrite, formed into a cylinder
in a cardboard or plastic tube. Detonation velocity 7,300 to 7,700 m/s.
Six witness cylinders of refined, cast lead for detecting detonation.
50 mm diameter x 100 mm high, refined lead of at least 99.5% purity.
5.4
Procedure
Test Temperature: 15 to 20°C. Figures 1 and 2 show the test arrangement.
Fill the tube about one-third of its height with the test sample and drop it 10 cm vertically five
times on the floor. Improve the compression by striking the side wall with a hammer between

MSC 85/26/Add.2
ANNEX 3
Page 361
drops. A further addition shall be made such that, after compaction or by raising and dropping
the tube 20 times and a total of 20 intermittent hammer blows, the charge fills the tube to a
distance of 70 mm from its orifice.
Insert the plastic explosive into the tube and press it down with a wooden die. Place the
compressed pallet centrally in the recess within the plastic explosive. Close it with a wooden
disc so that it remains in contact with the test sample. Lay the test tube horizontally on the 6 lead
cylinders placed at 150 mm intervals (centric), with the centre of the last cylinder 75 mm from
the bottom plate, on a firm, level, solid surface that is resistant to deformation or displacement.
Insert the electrical blasting cap or the detonating cord.
Ensure that all necessary safety precautions are taken, connect and detonate the explosive.
Record, for each of the lead cylinders, the degree of compression expressed as a percentage of
the original height of 100 mm. For oblique compression, the deformation is taken as the average
of the maximum and minimum deformation.
5.5
Results
The test is to be carried out twice. If in each test one or more of the supporting lead cylinders are
crushed by less than 5%, the sample is deemed to satisfy the resistance to detonation
requirements.

Self-heating test for charcoal
6.1
Apparatus
6.1.1 Oven. A laboratory oven fitted with internal air circulation and capable of being
controlled at 140oC + 2oC.
6.1.2 Wire mesh cube. Construct an open-top cube, 100 mm side, from phosphor bronze
gauze 18,000 mesh per square centimetre (350 x 350 mesh). Insert it inside a slightly larger,
well-fitting cube, made of phosphor bronze gauze 11 mesh per square centimetre (8 x 8 mesh).
Fit the outer cube with a handle or hooks so that it can be suspended from above.
6.1.3 Temperature measurement. A suitable system to measure and record the temperature of the
oven and in the centre of the cube. “Chromel-alumel” thermocouples, made from 0.27 mm diameter
wire, are suitable for measuring the temperature range expected.
6.2
Procedure
6.2.1 Fill the cube with carbon and tap down gently, adding carbon until the cube is full.
Suspend the sample in the centre of the oven which has been preheated to 140oC + 2oC. Insert
one of the thermocouples in the centre of the sample and the other between the cube and the oven
wall. Maintain the temperature of the oven at 140oC + 2oC for 12 hours and record the oven
temperature and the sample temperature.
6.3
Results
6.3.1 Non-activated carbon, non-activated charcoal, carbon black and lamp black fail the test if
the temperature at any time during the 12 hours exceeded 200oC.
6.3.2 Activated carbon and activated charcoal fail the test if the temperature at any time during
the 12 hours exceeded 400oC.

PROPERTIES OF SOLID BULK CARGOES
1
Non-cohesive cargoes
1.1
The following cargoes are non-cohesive when dry:
AMMONIUM NITRATE
AMMONIUM NITRATE BASED FERTILIZERS (TYPE A, TYPE B and
NON-HAZARDOUS)
AMMONIUM SULPHATE
BORAX, anhydrous
CALCIUM NITRATE FERTILIZER
CASTOR BEANS
DIAMMONIUM PHOSPHATE
MONOAMMONIUM PHOSPHATE
POTASSIUM CHLORIDE
POTASH
POTASSIUM NITRATE
POTASSIUM SULPHATE
SODIUM NITRATE
SODIUM NITRATE AND POTASSIUM NITRATE MIXTURE
SUPERPHOSPHATE
UREA
1.2
Prior to completion of loading, the angle of repose of the materials to be loaded should be
determined (see section 6) so as to determine which provisions of this Code relating to trimming
apply (see section 5).
1.3
All cargoes, other than those listed in this appendix, are cohesive and the use of the angle
of repose is, therefore, not appropriate. Cargoes not listed should be treated as cohesive until
otherwise shown.
2
Cargoes which may liquefy
2.1
Many fine-particled cargoes if possessing a sufficiently high moisture content are liable to
flow. Thus any damp or wet cargo containing a proportion of fine particles should be tested for
flow characteristics prior to loading.
3
Precautions for the cargoes which may possess a chemical hazard
In circumstances where consultation with the competent authority is required prior to
3.1
shipment of dry bulk cargoes, it is equally important to consult authorities at the port of loading
and discharge concerning requirements which may be in force.
Where required, the Medical First Aid Guide for Use in Accidents Involving Dangerous
3.2
Goods (MFAG) should be consulted prior to loading.
