Dangerous Goods Solid Bulk Materials IMDG Code Ships in Service Training Material A-M CHAUVEL

Solid Bulk Materials : Hazards Hazards associated with the shipment of solid bulk material come under the following main categories : 1- Structural damage due to improper distribution of the cargo. 2- Loss or reduction of stability due to a shift of cargo or cargo liquefying. 3- Chemical reaction. Ships in Service Training Material A-M CHAUVEL

Solid Bulk Materials : Hazards The Solid Bulk Carrier Code makes the following distinctions : - Appendix A Bulk materials which may liquefy. - Appendix B Bulk materials possessing chemical hazards. - Appendix C Bulk materials which are neither liable to liquefy nor to possess chemical hazards. Carriage of grain is regulated under the International Code for the Safe Carriage of Grain. Ships in Service Training Material A-M CHAUVEL

Solid Bulk Materials : Hazards High Density Cargoes Require careful distribution within prescribed limits to prevent over-stressing. Danger of over-stressing is particularly relevant when the ship is moving at sea. In port, careful consideration must be given to the sequence of loading and the quantity of materials loaded at each port as well for the technique used for unloading. Structure damage, unless discover in time, may result in the loss of the ship. Ships in Service Training Material A-M CHAUVEL

Solid Bulk Materials : Hazards Cargoes Liable to Liquefy Increase of moisture content above the transportable moisture limit may result of liquefaction. Liquefaction of cargoes results in loss of the ship stability and possible loss of the ship. Cargoes which may liquefy must be kept in a dry or nearly dry state. The shipper should provide the information. Sampling procedures are specified in the BC Code. Ships in Service Training Material A-M CHAUVEL

Solid Bulk Materials : Hazards Cargoes Liable to Shift BC Code makes a distinction between cohesive and non-cohesive cargoes. The measure of the danger of shifting to which a non-cohesive cargo is subject is given in its angle of response. Trimming instructions are specified for cargoes with an angle of response: - Less than or equal to 30°. - 30° to 35°. - Greater than 35° = Greater care. Ships in Service Training Material A-M CHAUVEL

Solid Bulk Materials : Hazards Are classified in the similar way to packaged dangerous goods: Class 4.1 - Flammable solids. Class 4.2 - Substances liable to spontaneous combustion. Class 4.3 - Substances in contact with water emit flammable gases. Class 5.1 - Oxidizing substances. Ships in Service Training Material A-M CHAUVEL

Solid Bulk Materials : Hazards Class 6.1 - Toxic ( poisonous ) substances. Class 6.2 - Infectious substances. Class 7 - Radioactive materials. Class 8 - Corrosives. Class 9 - Miscellaneous dangerous substances and articles. MHB - Materials Hazardous only in Bulk. Ships in Service Training Material A-M CHAUVEL

Solid Bulk Materials : Hazards Solid Bulk Materials posing Chemical Hazards Stowage and segregation requirements apply similarly to packaged dangerous goods between: - Bulk materials and bulk materials. - Bulk materials and packaged form. Ships in Service Training Material A-M CHAUVEL

Dust should be reduced to the minimum. Solid Bulk Materials : Hazards Solid Bulk Materials posing Dust Hazards Dust is inherent to cargo operations with many bulk materials. Dust should be reduced to the minimum. Precautions are necessary to minimize the risks due to exposure to the residual dust of certain materials carrier in bulk. High standard of personal is required with use of protective clothing and barrier creams particularly in case of toxic materials. Ships in Service Training Material A-M CHAUVEL

Sampling and laboratory test procedures are specified in the BC Code. Solid Bulk Materials : Hazards Solid Bulk Materials posing Dust Hazards Dust created by certain cargoes may constitute an explosion hazard especially during : - Cargo operations. - Cleaning holds. The risk can be minimized by : - Ventilating spaces with dust-laden atmospheres. - Hosing down rather than seeping. Sampling and laboratory test procedures are specified in the BC Code. Ships in Service Training Material A-M CHAUVEL

Solid Bulk Materials : Hazards Information for Ships To assess the dangers for those on board, a shipmaster must be provide with the information essential to load and unload the ship safely. The shipper should provide the shipmaster with appropriate certificates of test with details as : - chemical hazards. - flow moisture point. - stowage factor. - moisture content. - angle of response, etc… Ships in Service Training Material A-M CHAUVEL
