Dangerous and Difficult Bulk Cargoes - Minerals and Man-Made Derivatives
VIDEOTEL
This programme looks at some of themore potentially Dangerous and Difficultmineral based cargoes as specified in
the IMSBC Code.
Some of these commodities can liquefy in the hold during passage if the moisture content is too high,threatening stability, whilst others create chemical reactions that can give rise to toxic or explosive gases.
Using the IMSBC Code as reference and combining dramatic in-depth analysis and interviews with leadingexperts, the following cargoes are discussed in detail:
• Direct Reduced Iron• Ammonium Nitrate• Minerals and Ores liable to Liquefaction• Coal
In each case, emphasis is placed upon an awareness ofthe risks, remembering that safety applies as much topeople as to the ship.
In particular, the programme looks at how ships personnel can greatly reduce the chances of loading anunsafe cargo by verifying shipper’s documentation andfigures given for temperature and/or moisture content.
The regular monitoring of the cargo condition within thehold whilst under passage, essential to controllingatmospheres or maintaining stability, is also looked at.The conclusion drawn every time is that nothing shouldbe loaded and transported until everyone involved is100% sure that it is safe to do so.
