Cargo Advice - Mineral cargoes including Sodium Metabisulphite
Year: 2022 Language: english Author: The Swedish Club Genre: Guide Format: PDF Quality: eBook Pages count: 3 Description: A number of serious incidents have occurred in recent months involving mineral compounds (i.e. inorganic chemicals) in bags carried as general cargo. Besides a potentially serious risk of harm to individuals, the incidents have led to damage to vessels and loss of cargo, together with the problems that arise from them, such as the complication of dealing with port authorities, delays and associated claims, as well as contamination of the vessel and other cargoes and finally, the difficulty of arranging disposal of the hazardous residues. On a practical level, when carrying sodium metabisulphite, all measures should be taken to avoid wetting it, or any other chemicals loaded with it, at any stage. Hatches on holds containing the substance should not, for example, be left open unnecessarily and the hatch covers should be fully sealed against the ingress of water during the voyage.
