text: 1.1 Introductory note

text: 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 by-laws within loading and discharge areas.

text: 1.2 Cargoes listed in this Code

text: 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 4.2).

text: 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 whether 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.

text: 1.3 Cargoes not listed in this Code

text: 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.

text: 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.

text: Section 2

text: General loading, carriage and unloading precautions

text: 2.1 Cargo distribution

text: 2.1.1 General

text: 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.

text: 2.1.2 To prevent the structure being overstressed

text: 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 given 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.

text: 2.1.3 To aid stability

text: 2.1.3.1 Having regard to SOLAS regulation II-1/5-1, 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.

text: 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.

text: 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.

text: 2.1.3.4 When it is necessary to carry high-density cargoes in 'tween-decks or higher cargo spaces, due consideration shall be given 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.

text: Safety of personnel and ship

text: 3.1 General requirements

text: 3.1.1 Prior to and during loading, carriage and discharge of a solid bulk cargo, all necessary safety precautions shall be observed.

text: 3.1.2 Routine onboard operational fire safety risk assessments shall be carried out by the ship's crew for cargo handling areas on self-unloading bulk carriers featuring internally installed conveyor systems within the ship's structure. Due consideration shall be given to fire prevention and the effective operation of fire detection systems, containment and suppression under all anticipated operating conditions and cargoes. The fire safety risk assessments shall be detailed in the ship's Safety Management System (SMS) together with a recommended timing to provide regular assessments.

text: 3.1.3 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.

text: 3.2 Poisoning, corrosive and asphyxiation hazards

text: 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 given to protection of personnel and the need for special precautions to be taken prior to loading and after unloading.

text: 3.2.2 Appropriate attention shall be given 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.

text: 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.

text: 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.

text: 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.

text: 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.

text: 3.3 Health hazards due to dust

text: 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,

text: Bilaga 1

text: protective clothing, protective skin creams, adequate personal washing and laundering of outer clothing, shall be taken as necessary.

text: 3.4 Flammable atmosphere

text: 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.

text: 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 given to the ventilation and monitoring of the atmosphere in the enclosed spaces adjacent to the cargo spaces.

text: 3.5 Ventilation

text: 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.

text: 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.

text: 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.

text: 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.

text: 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.

text: 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.

text: 3.6 Cargo under in-transit fumigation

text: 3.6.1 Fumigation shall be performed based on the recommendations developed by the Organization.

text: 3.6.2 When a fumigant is used, such as phosphine gas, for fumigation-in-transit, due consideration shall be given to the severe toxicity of fumigants, taking into account that fumigants may enter into occupied spaces despite many precautions taken. In particular, in the case that fumigant leaks from a cargo hold under fumigation, the possibility should be kept in mind that it may enter the engine-room via pipe tunnels, ducts, and piping of any kind, including wiring ducts on or below deck, or dehumidifier systems that may be connected to parts of the cargo hold or compartments of the engine-room. Attention shall be given to

text: Bilaga 1

text: - 18 -

text: potential problem areas such as bilge and cargo line systems and valves. In all cases, ventilation procedures on board the ship during the voyage should be scrutinized with regard to the possibility of drawing in the fumigant gas such as by incorrect ventilation procedures and settings, vacuum creation due to incorrect closing devices or flap settings, air conditioning and closed loop ventilation of the accommodation. Prior to commencement of fumigation procedures, it should be verified that ventilation flaps and closing devices are set correctly and that means of closing and sealing of all the bulkhead openings (such as doors and manholes) leading from the engine-room to piping tunnels/duct keels and other spaces that in case of leaks could become unsafe to enter during the fumigation are effective, confirmed closed and have warning signs posted.

text: 3.6.3. Gas concentration safety checks shall also be continued throughout the voyage at least at eight-hour intervals or more frequently if so advised by the fumigator-in-charge at all appropriate locations, which shall at least include: accommodation; engine-rooms; areas designated for use in navigation of the ship; and frequently visited working areas and stores, such as the forecastle head spaces, adjacent to cargo holds being subject to fumigation in transit. Special attention shall also be given to potential problem areas such as bilge and cargo line systems. These readings shall be recorded in the ship's logbook.

text: 4.3 Certificates of test

text: 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.

text: 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, each issued by an entity recognized by the competent authority of the port of loading. 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.

text: 4.3.3 When a concentrate or other cargo which may liquefy is carried, procedures for sampling, testing and controlling moisture content to ensure the moisture content is less than the TML when it is on board the ship shall be established by the shipper, taking account of the provisions of this Code. Such procedures shall be approved and their implementation checked by the competent authority of the port of loading. The document issued by the competent authority stating that the procedures have been approved shall be provided to the master or his representative.

text: 4.3.4 If the cargo is loaded on to the ship from barges, in developing the procedures under 4.3.3, the shipper shall include procedures to protect the cargo on the barges from any precipitation and water ingress.

text: 4.3.5 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.

text: 4.3.6 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. However, it is important to ensure that the samples taken are representative of the whole depth of the stockpile.

text: 4.4 Sampling procedures

text: 4.4.1 Physical property tests on the consignment are meaningless unless they are conducted prior to loading on truly representative test samples.

text: 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.

text: 4.4.3 For a concentrate or other cargo which may liquefy, the shipper shall facilitate access to stockpiles for the purpose of inspection, sampling and subsequent testing by the ship's nominated representative.

text: 4.4.4 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.

text: Bilaga 1

text: - 23 -

text: Depending upon the results obtained in these tests, it may be necessary to reject those particular portions as unfit for shipment.

text: 4.4.5 Representative samples shall be obtained by employing techniques which take the following factors into account:

text: .1 the type of material;

text: .2 the particle size distribution;

text: .3 composition of the material and its variability;

text: .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.;

text: .5 the chemical hazards (toxicity, corrosivity, etc.);

text: .6 the characteristics which have to be determined: moisture content, TML, bulk density/stowage factor, angle of repose, etc.;

text: .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

text: .8 variations which may occur following freezing of the material.

text: 4.4.6 Throughout the sampling procedures, utmost care shall be taken to prevent changes in quality and characteristics. Samples for moisture testing shall be immediately placed in suitable airtight, non-absorbent containers with a minimum of free air space to minimize any change in moisture content, such containers being properly marked.

text: 4.4.7 Unless expressly provided otherwise, sampling for the test required by this Code shall follow an internationally or nationally accepted standard procedure.

text: 4.4.8 For unprocessed mineral ores the sampling of stationary stockpiles shall be carried out only when access to the full depth of the stockpile is available and samples from the full depth of the stockpile can be extracted.

text: 4.5 Interval between sampling/testing and loading for TML and moisture content determination

text: 4.5.1 The shipper shall be responsible for ensuring that a test to determine the TML of a solid bulk cargo is 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, the shipper shall be responsible for ensuring that a test to determine the TML is conducted again after it is reasonably assumed that such variation has taken place.

text: Bilaga 1

text: - 24 -

text: 4.5.2 The shipper shall be responsible for ensuring that sampling and testing for moisture content is conducted as near as practicable to the date of commencement of loading. The interval between sampling/testing and the date of commencement of loading shall never be more than seven days. If the cargo has been exposed to significant rain or snow between the time of testing and the date of completion of loading, the shipper shall be responsible for ensuring that the moisture content of the cargo is still less than its TML, and evidence of this is provided to the master as soon as practicable.

text: 4.5.3 Samples of frozen cargo shall be tested for the TML or the moisture content after the free moisture has completely thawed.

text: 4.6 Sampling procedures for concentrate stockpiles

text: 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.

text: 4.6.2 Subsamples are taken in a reasonably uniform pattern, where possible from a levelled stockpile.

text: 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 subsamples required and where each is to be taken. Each subsample taken is drawn from approximately 50 cm below the surface of the designated area.

text: 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:

text: Consignments of not more than 15,000 t: One 200 g subsample is taken for each 125 t to be shipped.

text: Consignments of more than 15,000 but not more than 60,000 t: One 200 g subsample is taken for each 250 t to be shipped.

text: Consignments of more than 60,000 t: One 200 g subsample is taken for each 500 t to be shipped.

text: 4.6.5 Subsamples 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.

text: Bilaga 1

text: 4.6.6 Basic procedural steps include: .1 identification of consignment to be sampled; .2 determination of the number of individual subsamples and representative samples, as described in 4.6.4, which are required; .3 determination of the positions from which to obtain subsamples and the method of combining such subsamples to arrive at a representative sample; .4 gathering of individual subsamples and placing them in sealed containers; .5 thorough mixing of subsamples 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. 4.7 Examples of standardized sampling procedures, for information ISO 3082:2017 Iron ores Sampling and sample preparation procedures (Note: Under this Standard the in situ sampling of ships and stockpiles is not permitted) IS1405:2010 Iron Ores Sampling & Sample Preparation Manual Method (Note: This Indian Standard covers the in situ sampling of stockpiles up to a height of 3 m) ISO 1988: 1975 Hard coal Sampling ASTM D2234/D2234M 17 Standard Practice for Collection of a Gross Sample of Coal Australian Standards AS 4264.1 Coal and Coke-Sampling: Part 1: Coal Sampling Procedures AS 1141 Series Methods of sampling and testing aggregates BS 1017-1:1989 Sampling of coal and coke.

text: Trimming procedures

text: 5.1 General provisions for trimming

text: 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.

text: 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.

text: 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.

text: 5.2 Special provisions for multi-deck ships

text: 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.

text: 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.

text: 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.

text: 5.3 Special provisions for cohesive bulk cargoes

text: 5.3.1 All damp cargoes and some dry ones possess cohesion. For cohesive cargoes, the general provisions in 5.1 shall apply.

text: 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.

text: 5.4 Special provisions for non-cohesive bulk cargoes

text: 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.

text: 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.

text: Cargoes which may liquefy

text: 7.1 Introduction

text: 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.

text: 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.

text: 7.1.3 Some cargoes which may liquefy may also heat spontaneously.

text: 7.2 Conditions for hazards

text: 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:

text: .1 the volume of the spaces between the particles reduces as the cargo is compacted owing to the ship's motion, etc.;

text: .2 the reduction in space between cargo particles causes an increase in water pressure in the space; and

text: .3 the increase in water pressure reduces the friction between cargo particles, resulting in a reduction in the shear strength of the cargo.

text: 7.2.2 Liquefaction does not occur when the cargo consists of large particles or lumps and water passes through the spaces between the particles and there is no increase in the water pressure.

text: 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.

text: 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.

text: 7.3 Provisions for cargoes which may liquefy

text: 7.3.1 General

text: 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

text: - 31 -

text: provision, cargoes having moisture content in excess of the TML may be carried on a specially constructed or fitted cargo ship for confining cargo shift specified in 7.3.2.

text: 7.3.1.2 Notwithstanding the provisions in 1.4 of this Code, the requirements in 4.2.2.9, 4.2.2.10, 4.3.2 to 4.3.5, 4.5, 4.6 and 8 of this Code need not apply to a cargo which may liquefy provided that the cargo is carried on a specially constructed or fitted cargo ship for confining cargo shift specified in 7.3.2 or on a specially constructed ship for dry powdery cargoes specified in 7.3.3.

text: 7.3.1.3 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.

text: 7.3.1.4 Adequate measures shall be taken to prevent liquids entering the cargo space in which these solid bulk cargoes are stowed during the voyage.

text: 7.3.1.5 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 consideration shall be given to apply water in the form of spray.

text: 7.3.2 Specially constructed or fitted cargo ships for confining cargo shift

text: 7.3.2.1 Specially constructed cargo ships for confining cargo shift 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.

text: 7.3.2.2 Specially fitted cargo ships for confining cargo shift 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:

text: .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.

text: .2 The elements of the ship's structure bounding such cargo shall be strengthened, as necessary.

text: .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.

text: 7.3.2.3 A submission made to an Administration for approval of such a ship shall include:

text: .1 relevant structural drawings, including scaled longitudinal and transverse sections;

text: .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

text: Bilaga 1

text: - 32 - .3 any other information which may assist the Administration in the assessment of the submission. 7.3.3 Specially constructed cargo ships for dry powdery cargoes 7.3.3.1 Specially constructed cargo ships for dry powdery cargoes shall be designed and constructed to: .1 carry solely dry powdery cargoes; and .2 handle cargoes by means of closed type systems using pneumatic equipment which prevent the cargo from the exposure to weather. 7.3.3.2 The ship concerned shall carry evidence of approval by the Administration.

Reference is made to 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 8.4.1 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 L 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. 8.4.2 If samples remain dry following a can test, the moisture content of the material may still exceed the transportable moisture limit (TML).

text: 10.6 Classification of wastes

text: 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.

text: 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.

text: 10.6.3 The classification according to dangerous characteristics and properties shall be carried out as follows:

text: .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

text: .2 if the determination is not practicable, the waste shall be classified according to the constituent presenting the predominant hazard.

text: 10.6.4 In determining the predominant hazard, the following criteria shall be taken into account:

text: .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

text: .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.

text: 10.7 Stowage and handling of wastes

text: 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.

text: 10.8 Segregation

text: Wastes shall be segregated in accordance with the provisions of 9.3.3 and 9.3.4, as appropriate.

text: 10.9 Accident procedures

text: In the event that, during transport, a waste will constitute a danger for the carrying ship or the environment, the master shall immediately inform the competent authorities of the countries of origin and destination and receive advice on the action to be taken.

text: Section 11

text: Security provisions

text: Introductory note

text: 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 section remain recommendatory except 11.1.1.

text: 11.1 General provisions for companies, ships and port facilities

text: 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 chapter XI-2 of SOLAS 74, as amended, applies, taking into account the guidance given in part B of the ISPS Code.

text: 11.1.2 Due consideration 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.

text: 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.

text: 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.

text: 11.1.5 All shipboard personnel and port facility personnel who are not mentioned in 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.

text: 11.2 General provisions for shore-side personnel

text: 11.2.1 For the purpose of this subsection, shore-side personnel covers individuals such as those who:

text: - prepare transport documents for bulk cargoes;

text: - offer bulk cargoes for transport;

text: - accept bulk cargoes for transport;

text: - handle bulk cargoes;

text: - prepare bulk cargoes' loading/stowage plans;

text: Bilaga 1

text: - 49 - - load/unload bulk cargoes into/from ships; and - enforce or survey or inspect for compliance with applicable rules and regulations; or

text: - are otherwise involved in the handling and transport of bulk cargoes as determined by the competent authority. However, the provisions of 11.2 do not apply to:

text: - 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

text: - 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.

text: 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 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

text: 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 based fertilizers UN 2067. 11.3.2 The provisions of this subsection do not apply to ships and to port facilities (see the ISPS Code for ship security plan and for port security plan).

text: Bilaga 1

text: - 50 -

text: 11.3.3 Consignors and others engaged in the transport of solid bulk cargoes with high potential security implications should adopt, implement and comply with a security plan that addresses at least the elements specified in 11.3.4.

text: 11.3.4 The security plan should comprise at least the following elements:

text: .1 specific allocation of responsibilities for security to competent and qualified persons with appropriate authority to carry out their responsibilities;

text: .2 records of bulk cargoes with high potential security implications or types of bulk cargoes with high potential security implications transported;

text: .3 review of current operations and assessment of vulnerabilities, including intermodal transfer, temporary transit storage, handling and distribution, as appropriate;

text: .4 clear statements of measures, including training, policies (including response to higher threat conditions, new employee/employment verification, etc.), operating practices (e.g. choice/use of routes, where known, control of access to ships, bulk cargo storage and loading areas, proximity to vulnerable infrastructure, etc.), equipment and resources that are to be used to reduce security risks;

text: .5 effective and up-to-date procedures for reporting and dealing with security threats, breaches of security or security-related incidents;

text: .6 procedures for the evaluation and testing of security plans and procedures for periodic review and update of the plans;

text: .7 measures to ensure the security of transport information contained in the plan; and

text: .8 measures to ensure that the distribution of transport information is limited as far as possible.

text: Description Crystals, granules or prills non-cohesive when dry. Wholly or partly soluble in water.

text: Notes:

text: 1. All nitrate ions for which there is present in the mixture a molecular equivalent of ammonium ions should be calculated as ammonium nitrate. 2. The transport of ammonium nitrate materials which are liable to self-heating sufficient to initiate decomposition is prohibited. 3. 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. 4. This schedule may only be used for substances that do not exhibit explosive properties of class 1 when tested in accordance with Test Series 1 and 2 of class 1 (see UN Manual of Tests and Criteria). 5. This schedule may only be used if the chemical or physical properties of an ammonium nitrate based fertilizer are such that, when tested, it does not meet the established defining criteria of any class.

text: Hazard Even though this cargo is classified as non-hazardous, some of the properties of the ammonium nitrate based fertilizer classified in class 9 under UN 2071 are exhibited when heated strongly. When this cargo is heated strongly, it will decompose and give off toxic gases with the risk of toxic fumes in the cargo space, adjacent spaces and on deck. Monitoring of the cargo temperature may give an early indication of decomposition. Fertilizer dust might be irritating to skin and mucous membranes. It is hygroscopic cargo and will cake if wet. This cargo is non-combustible or has a low fire risk.

text: Stowage and segregation The compatibility of non-hazardous ammonium nitrate based fertilizers with other materials which may be stowed in the same cargo space shall be considered before loading. "Separated from" sources of heat or ignition (see also Loading). Not to be stowed immediately adjacent to any tank, double bottom or pipe containing heated fuel oil unless there are means to monitor and control the temperature so that it does not exceed 50°C.

text: Fertilizers of this type shall be stowed out of direct contact with a metal engine-room boundary. This may be done, for example, by using flame-retardant bags containing inert materials or by any equivalent arrangement approved by the competent authority.

text: - 109 - APPENDIX 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 and 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: .1 weather deck enclosures to the cargo space have been inspected to ensure their integrity. Such closures are closed and sealed;

text: Bilaga 1

text: - 110 -

text: .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.

text: 4 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.

text: 5 This cargo shall not be dropped more than one metre during loading to minimize the production of dust and fines.

text: 6 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).

text: 7 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.

text: 8 Individual cargo spaces shall be closed and sealed as soon as practicable after the cargo has been loaded into each cargo space.

text: Precautions

text: 1 The ship shall be suitably fitted and carry on board appropriate instruments for measuring the following without requiring entry into the cargo space:

text: .1 concentration of methane in the atmosphere above the cargo;

text: .2 concentration of oxygen in the atmosphere above the cargo;

text: .3 concentration of carbon monoxide in the atmosphere above the cargo;

text: .4 pH value of cargo hold bilge samples.

text: 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.

text: 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.

text: Carriage

text: 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

text: Bilaga 1

text: - 111 -

text: shop, passageways, tunnels, etc. Such spaces shall be adequately ventilated and regularly monitored for methane, oxygen and carbon monoxide.

text: 2 Under no circumstances, except in emergency, shall the hatches be opened or the cargo space be ventilated or entered during the voyage.

text: 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.

text: 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.

text: 5 The following issues shall be taken into account:

text: .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.

text: .2 Carbon monoxide levels will build up to concentrations which fluctuate in the 200 to 2,000 parts per million (ppm) range in a safe, well-sealed cargo space. A rapid increase of approximately 1,000 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.

text: .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.

text: .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.

text: 6 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 tank tops and in the bilge system.

text: 7 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.

text: Bilaga 1

text: - 112 - 8 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: .1 Consult with the ship's agent at the loading port. The company's designated person ashore shall be advised immediately. .2 Check the seal of the cargo space and re-seal the cargo space, as necessary. .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. .4 Increase the frequency of monitoring the gas composition, and temperature when practicable, of the cargo. .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; .4 the time the gas analyses were taken (monitoring routine); .5 the quantity of the cargo in the cargo space(s) involved; .6 the description of the cargo as per the shipper's declaration, and any special precautions indicated on the declaration; .7 the date of loading, and Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA) at the intended discharge port (which shall be specified); and .8 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.

text: Bilaga 1

text: - 113 -

text: 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.

text: 3. During discharge, attention shall be given 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.

text: 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.

text: PROCEDURES FOR GAS MONITORING OF BROWN COAL BRIQUETTE CARGOES

text: 1 Observations

text: 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.

text: 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.

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.

text: 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.

text: 2.2 Siting of sampling points

text: 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.

text: - 114 -

text: 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. 2.3 Measurement The explanation on procedures for measurement is as follows: .1 remove the sealing cap, insert the rigid tube into the sampling point and tighten the integral cap to ensure an adequate seal; .2 connect the instrument to the sampling tube; .3 draw a sample of the atmosphere through the tube, using the aspirator, until steady readings are obtained; .4 log the results on a form which records cargo hold, date and time for each measurement; and .5 put back the sealing cap.

text: APPENDIX

text: COAL

text: Properties and characteristics

text: 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.

text: 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.

text: 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.

text: 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.

text: Segregation and stowage requirements

text: 1. Unless expressly provided otherwise, boundaries of cargo spaces where this cargo is carried shall be resistant to fire and liquids.

text: 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.

text: 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.

text: 4. The master shall ensure that this cargo is not stowed adjacent to hot areas.

text: 5. This cargo shall be "separated longitudinally by an intervening complete compartment or hold from" goods of class 1 other than division 1.4.

text: Note: For interpretation of these terms, see section 9.

text: General requirements for all types of these cargoes

text: 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.

text: Bilaga 1

text: - 143 -

text: 2 Before loading, the master shall ensure the following:

text: .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.

text: .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 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.

text: 3 The ship shall be suitably fitted and carry on board appropriate instruments for measuring the following without requiring entry in the cargo space:

text: .1 concentration of methane in the atmosphere;

text: .2 concentration of oxygen in the atmosphere;

text: .3 concentration of carbon monoxide in the atmosphere; and

text: .4 pH value of cargo space bilge samples.

text: 4 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.

text: 5 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.

text: 6 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.

text: 7 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 cooperation from the loading terminal.

text: 8 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.

text: Bilaga 1

text: 9 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.

text: 10 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.

text: 11 When significant concentrations of methane are subsequently observed in unventilated cargo spaces, the appropriate special precautions for coals emitting methane shall apply.

text: 12 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.

text: 13 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.

text: 14 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 tank tops and in the bilge system.

text: 15 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.

text: Special precautions

text: 1 Coals emitting methane

text: 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:

text: .1 Adequate surface ventilation shall be maintained, except for an appropriate period for the purpose of gas monitoring.

text: .2 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.

text: .3 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.

text: Bilaga 1

text: Notwithstanding these provisions, emergency entry into the cargo space may be permitted without ventilation, testing the atmosphere or 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.

text: .4 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.

text: 2 Self-heating coals

text: 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:

text: .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.

text: .2 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.

text: .3 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.

text: .4 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.

text: .5 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:

text: .1 identity of the cargo spaces involved; monitoring results covering carbon monoxide, methane and oxygen concentrations;

text: .2 if available, temperature of the cargo, location and method used to obtain results;

text: .3 time gas sample taken (monitoring routine);

text: .4 time ventilators opened/closed;

text: .5 quantity of coal in hold(s) involved;

text: Bilaga 1

text: .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. 3 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. 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.

text: 2 Sampling and measurement procedure

text: 2.1 Equipment

text: 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.

text: 2.2 Siting of sampling points

text: 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.

text: Bilaga 1

text: - 148 -

text: Diagram of gas sampling point

text: 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 that this cap is securely replaced after each measurement to maintain a tight seal.

text: 2.2.3 The provisions of any sample point shall not compromise the seaworthiness of the vessel.

text: 2.3 Measurement

text: 2.3.1 The explanation on procedures for measurement is as follows:

text: .1 remove the sealing cap, insert the spark-proof metal tube into the sampling point and tighten the collar to ensure an adequate seal;

text: .2 connect the instrument to the sampling tube;

text: .3 draw a sample of the atmosphere through the tube, using the aspirator, until steady readings are obtained;

text: .4 log the results on a form which records cargo space, date and time for each measurement; and

text: .5 put back the sealing cap.

text: 2.4 Measurement strategy

text: 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.

text: 2.5 Measurement in unventilated holds

text: 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.

text: 2.6 Measurement in ventilated holds

text: 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.

text: 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.

text: 2.7 Measurement in cargo and self-unloading spaces of gravity-fed self-unloading bulk carrier

text: 2.7.1 Measurement in unventilated cargo and self-unloading spaces

text: 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.

text: 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.

text: 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.

text: 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.

text: 2.7.2 Measurement in ventilated cargo and self-unloading spaces

text: 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.

text: 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.

text: 2.7.2.3 In addition, the following points shall be considered:

text: - at no time shall ventilation be shut down when crew members are in the self-unloading spaces;

text: - special fire-fighting equipment and/or procedures may be necessary for the vessel; and

text: - establish specific crew training for gravity-fed self-unloading bulk carriers.

As each method has its advantages, the selection of the test method should be determined by local practices or by the appropriate authorities. .4 Modified Proctor/Fagerberg test procedure for iron ore fines; .5 Modified Proctor/Fagerberg test procedure for coal; and .6 Modified Proctor/Fagerberg test procedure for bauxite. 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. 1.1.2 Apparatus (see figure 1.1.2) .1 Standard flow table and frame (ASTM Designation (C230-68) see 3). .2 Flow table mounting (ASTM Designation (C230-68) see 3). .3 Mould (ASTM Designation (C230-68) see 3).

text: 1.1.3 Temperature and humidity

text: 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.

text: 1.1.4 Procedure

text: 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.

text: 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 airdried to reduce its moisture content before commencing the main flow moisture test.

text: 1.1.4.1 Preparation of the test sample

text: 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:

text: .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.

text: 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).

text: .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:

text: Tamping pressure (Pa) = Bulk density of cargo (kg/m ) x Maximum depth of cargo (m) x Gravity acceleration (m/s )

text: 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.

text: When calculating the tamping pressure, if no information concerning cargo

text: Bilaga 1

text: - 419 -

text: depth is available the maximum likely depth should be used.

text: Alternatively, the pressure may be estimated from table 1.1.4.1.

text: 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.

text: .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.

text: (values in parenthesis are equivalent kgf when applied via a 30 mm diameter tamper head)

text: 1.1.4.2 The preliminary flow moisture test

text: .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 min. 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).

text: .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.

text: 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.

text: .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

text: Bilaga 1

text: - 420 -

text: 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).

text: 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.

text: 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.

text: .4 As an alternative to the procedure described above, for many concentrates a fast way of finding the approximate FMP is as follows:

text: 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.

text: 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.

text: When a flow state has been reached in the preliminary test, the moisture content of subsample (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.

text: - 423 - 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. 1.1.4.4 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. Concentrates and similar materials It is clearly important that the samples should be dried to a constant mass. In practice, this is o ascertained after a suitable drying period at 105 C 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:

text: (m1 m 2) 100, in percent (1.1.4.4.1) m1

text: .2 The FMP of the material is:

text: .3 The transportable moisture limit of the material is 90% of the FMP.

text: Peat moss

text: For all peat moss, determine the bulk density, using either the ASTM or CEN (20 L) method. Peat should be above or below 90 kg/m on a dry weight basis in order to obtain the correct TML. As indicated in 1.1.1, the following should be determined: .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/ m on a dry weight, the TML is 85% of the FMP; and .3.2 for peat with a bulk density of 90 kg/ m or less on a dry weight, the TML is 90% of the FMP. 1.2 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 2 g rms + 10% (g = gravity acceleration) for 6 min. When the penetration depth of a bit put on the surface exceeds 50 mm, it is judged that the sample contains a moisture content 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.

text: - 425 - 1.2.2 Apparatus (see figure 1.2.2) .1 The test apparatus consists of: .1 a vibrating table; .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 3 g 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

text: 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, namely size of particles and bulk density.

text: 1.2.3.1 Preparation of the test sample and the vibrating table

text: .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: 3 3 approximately 1,700 cm for the small container, and 4,700 cm for the large container.

text: .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".

text: The sub-samples (B) and (C) are used for the preliminary test and the main test, respectively.

text: .3 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 2 g rms + 10% with a container filled with a sample mounted on the table.

text: 1.2.3.2 Preliminary flow moisture test

text: 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.

text: .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.

text: .2 Place the penetration bit on the surface of the material through the holder.

text: .3 Operate the vibrator at a frequency of 50 Hz or 60 Hz with an acceleration of 2 g rms + 10% for 6 min. If necessary, the acceleration level should be checked by referring to the output of the acceleration meter attached to the vibrating table.

text: .4 After 6 min of vibration, read the depth of penetration.

text: .5 When the depth of penetration is less than 50 mm, it is judged that liquefaction did not take place. Then:

text: .1 Remove the material from the cylindrical vessel and replace in the mixing bowl with the remainder of the sample.

text: .2 Mix well and weigh the contents of the mixing bowl.

text: Bilaga 1

text: - 433 -

text: .3 Sprinkle an increment of water of not more than 1% of the mass of the material in the bowl and mix well.

text: .4 Repeat the procedure described in 1.2.3.2.1 to 1.2.3.2.5.

text: .6 When the depth of penetration is greater than 50 mm, it is judged that liquefaction took place. Then:

text: .1 Remove the material from the cylindrical vessel and replace in the mixing bowl. .2 Measure the moisture content in accordance with the procedure described in 1.1.4.4.

text: .3 Calculate the moisture content of the sample just below the flow moisture point on the basis of the amount of water added.

text: .7 If the penetration depth in the first attempt exceeds 50 mm, i.e. the sample as-received liquefied, mix subsamples (B) and (C) and dry at room temperature to reduce the moisture. Then, divide the material into two subsamples (B) and (C), and repeat the preliminary test.

text: 1.2.3.3 The main flow moisture test

text: .1 On the basis of the preliminary test, the main test should be carried out to determine the flow moisture point more accurately.

text: .2 Adjust the moisture content of the subsample (C) to the last value, which did not cause flow in the preliminary flow moisture test.

text: .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.

text: .4 When the approximate value of the flow moisture point is known in advance, the moisture content of the subsample (C) is adjusted to approximately 90% of this value.

text: .5 When a flow state has been reached, the flow moisture point is determined as described in 1.1.4.3.

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 100° C to maximum 105°C.

text: 1.3.4 Procedure

text: .1 Establishment of a complete compaction curve. A representative sample according to a relevant standard (see 4.7 of this Code) of the test material is dried at a temperature of approximately 100°C. 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 5 to 10 different moisture contents (5 to 10 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 2,000 cm .

text: At each compaction test a suitable amount of water is added to the sample of the dried test material and mixed thoroughly for 5 min. 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.

text: The test then is repeated for the other samples with different moisture contents.

text: .1 Establishment of a complete compaction curve

text: A representative sample according to a relevant standard (see 4.7 of this Code) of the test material is partially dried at a temperature of approximately 60°C or less to reduce the sample's moisture to suitable starting moisture, if needed. The representative sample for this test should not be fully dried, except in case of moisture content measurement.

text: 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 (5 to 10 separate tests). The samples are adjusted in order that partially dry to almost saturated samples are obtained. The required quantity per compaction test is about 2,000 cm .

text: At each compaction test a suitable amount of water is added to the sample of the test material. The sample material is gently mixed before being allowed to rest and equilibrate. 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 a 150 g hammer 25 times through the guide pipe, 0.15 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 with care, ensuring to remove any large particles that may hinder levelling of the sample, replacing them with material contained in the extension piece and re-levelling.

Density of solid material should be measured using a gas or water pycnometry equipment according to internationally or nationally accepted standard, e.g. ASTM D5550 and AS 1289 (see 1.4.2.5). .2 Definitions and data for calculations (see figure 1.4.2) - empty cylinder, mass in grams: A - cylinder with tamped sample, mass in grams: B - wet sample, mass in grams: C C = B A - dry sample, mass in grams: D - water, mass in grams (equivalent to volume in cm ): E E = C D Volume of cylinder: 1,000 cm

The critical moisture content is indicated by the intersection of the compaction curve and the line S = 80% degree of saturation. The transportable moisture limit (TML) is the critical moisture content. Optimum moisture content (OMC) is the moisture content corresponding to the maximum compaction (maximum dry density) under the specified compaction condition. To check the applicability of this test, the relationship between moisture content and dry density should be evaluated, during this test. Then the OMC and the corresponding degree of saturation should be determined. This test procedure was developed based on the finding that the degree of saturation corresponding to OMC of iron ore fines was 90 to 95%, while such degree of saturation of mineral concentrates was 70% to 75%. In the case that the degree of saturation corresponding to OMC is less than 90%, the shipper should consult with an appropriate authority, for the reason that this test may not be applicable for the material and the TML determined by this test may be too high.

text: Figure 1.4.3 1.5 Modified Proctor/Fagerberg test procedure for coal 1.5.1 Scope This procedure details the laboratory determination of transportable moisture limit (TML) for coals up to a nominal top size of 50 mm. The procedure is based on a modification of the Proctor/Fagerberg test described in 1.3 of this appendix. Key modifications to the original test procedure contained in 1.3 of this appendix are: .1 Sample preparation to facilitate the testing of 0 x 50 mm coal through reconstitution to -25 mm; .2 Use of a 150 mm diameter compaction cylinder; and .3 Sample compaction using a hammer equivalent to the Proctor/Fagerberg "D" energy hammer. The transportable moisture limit is the moisture content corresponding to the intersection of the 70% degree saturation curve and the test sample compaction curve. In the case of coals where moisture freely drains from the sample such that the test sample compaction curve does not extend to or beyond 70% saturation, the test is taken to indicate a cargo where water passes through the spaces between particles and there is no increase in pore water pressure. Therefore, the cargo is not liable to liquefy. (See 7.2.2 of this Code). The procedure commences with a drum of coal containing a sample of not less than 170 kg delivered to the testing laboratory and terminates with the laboratory reporting the test result for the coal. Details of the sample collection process are excluded from this procedure. However, it is important that the sample accurately represents the size distribution of the cargo and reference should be made to the normative reference list below.

Dimensions should be suitable to fit in the drying oven and ensure that the total sample can be contained at a loading of about 1 g/cm of surface area. 1.5.5.1.11 Spray bottle A suitable plastic bottle is required to add a mist spray of water to the sample. 1.5.5.1.12 Gloves Heat resistant gloves are required for removal of hot trays and dishes. 1.5.5.1.13 Sample divider A suitable sample divider as specified in ISO 13909-4:2001 is required for sub-sampling the primary sample and blending the reconstituted sample for testing. 1.5.5.2 Sampling and sample preparation 1.5.5.2.1 General This procedure commences with receipt of sample of not less than 170 kg, sealed in a heavy duty (200 micron thick) plastic bag and contained in a suitable drum (e.g. 220 L). This packaging ensures the sample does not dry prior to TML determination. 1.5.5.2.2 Sample preparation Representative samples are required that have been obtained using ISO 13909-4:2001 and if required may be partially air dried or partially dried at a temperature of 40°C or less to reduce the water content to a starting point suitable for dry sieving the coal with minimal fines adhering to the oversize fraction. For this purpose, samples should not be dried below 6% total moisture. The representative subsamples for the test should not be fully dried, except in the case of gross water content determination.

text: 1.5.5.2.2.1 Sample homogenization and division

text: Take the as-received sample and divide into individual subsamples using a sample dividing apparatus as specified in ISO 13909-4:2001. Place these subsamples into heavy-duty plastic bags.

text: 1.5.5.2.2.2 Reconstituted sample preparation procedure

text: When the sample contains particles above 25 mm, the reconstitution process below should be applied.

text: In this process, particles above 25 mm are removed from the sample and replaced by an equivalent mass of particles in the range 16 mm to 25 mm. Through this process a final reconstituted sample of sufficient mass for TML testing is generated which contains a maximum particle size of 25 mm.

text: One of two methods may be selected to generate the reconstituted sample:

text: .1 Split the entire as-received sample and then reconstitute; or

text: .2 Scalping off particles above 25 mm and substituting particles between 16 mm and 25 mm from a separate subsample.

text: This method is described in figure 1.5.5.2.2.2 and table 1.5.5.2.2.2.2. The reconstitution process commences where the coal is initially sieved into particle sizes larger than 25 mm and smaller than 25 mm. Coal particles in the size range of 16 mm to 25 mm are extracted from separate subsamples and reconstituted back into the original - 25 mm screened coal based on a mass equivalent to the + 25 mm sized coal removed from the initial sample to provide a final reconstituted sample of sufficient mass for TML testing.

text: Initial moisture is to be determined on a test portion from table 1.5.5.2.2.2.2 step 5 using the method provided in ISO 589:2008. This moisture value provides a guide to the moisture steps required to develop the Proctor/Fagerberg compaction curve.

text: 1.5.5.2.4 Particle density measurement

text: In accordance with water pycnometer standard AS 1289.3.5.1:2006, measure the density of solids on the full size range (non-crushed) coal. The density of solids is used for determining the void ratio for plotting compaction curves. The recommended methodology is described below:

text: 1.5.5.3.2 Establishment of the initial compaction point

text: The initial compaction point is obtained using the first test portion of the reconstituted material at the initial moisture content. For each compaction point determination, all steps in the procedure from packing the mould to weighing the mould and sample are to be completed at the same time without breaks. In any case, coal should not be left in the mould for longer than 30 min prior to weighing.

text: The test procedure is as follows:

text: Step 1 Clean the mould, collar and base plate. Inspect and clean the hammer and ensure that it moves freely in the guide tube.

text: Step 2 Determine the mass, A, of the empty cylinder, comprising the mould plus base plate.

text: Step 3 Assemble the mould, collar and base plate and place the assembly on a stable bench.

text: Step 4 Place approximately 0.5 L (one fifth of the full 2.5 L) of the test portion into the mould, level, and then tamp uniformly over the surface by dropping the hammer 25 times vertically through the full height of the guide pipe, moving the guide pipe to a new position after each drop. The required pattern for even compaction of each layer in the mould is shown in figure 1.5.5.3.2.

text: Step 5 Repeat step 4 four more times so that there are 5 layers of material in the mould. Ensure that the compacted test portion with the final layer is above the top of the compaction mould whilst the extension piece is still attached.

text: Step 6 When the last layer has been tamped, remove the extension piece taking care not to disturb the compacted test portion inside. Level the compacted test portion to the top of the mould using the flat scraping device, ensuring that any large particles that may hinder levelling of the test portion are removed and replaced with material contained in the extension piece and re-level. If any holes in the surface are still observed after levelling, they should be manually filled with finer material contained in the extension piece. Care should be taken to avoid any further compaction of the test portion.

text: Step 7 Determine the mass, B, of the mould and compacted coal and then calculate the mass, C, of the wet test portion using the equation:

text: Bilaga 1

text: - 454 -

text: C = B A (1)

text: Step 8 When the weight of the cylinder with the tamped test portion has been determined, remove the test portion from the mould, determine the mass of the wet test portion, C1, and dry the entire test portion in an oven at 105°C until constant mass is achieved. After drying, determine the weight, D1, of the dried test portion and then calculate the percentage gross water content, W , as follows:

text: W = (C1 D1)/C1 x 100% (2)

text: Step 9 Using the calculated gross water content, calculate the mass of the dry test portion in the mould, D, using the equation:

text: D = C C x W /100 (3)

text: Step 10 Calculate the mass, E, of water in the mould using the equation:

text: E = C D (4)

text: Step 11 Discard the used coal sample. Coal from a previously compacted test portion should not be reused.

text: 1.5.5.3.3 Establishment of complete compaction curve

text: The range of water contents should be adjusted so that partially dry to almost saturated test portions are obtained. Care should be taken to follow the precaution in 1.5.5.3.2 above regarding prompt completion of each point in the compaction curve.

text: The test procedure is as follows:

text: Step 1 For each compaction test, a predetermined amount of water is added to the test portion (approximately 2.5 kg) in a heavy duty plastic bag. The water quantity added is that required to increase the moisture content to the target value for the next test. The water should be added as a mist spray to the surface of the individual test portions. The water at this point should be added slowly and in small quantities, as the introduction of large amounts of water may induce localized compaction behaviour.

text: Step 2 After the calculated water addition, the test portion should then be mixed thoroughly in the plastic bag by sealing the bag and turning it over repeatedly for 5 min.

text: Step 3 The test portion should then be allowed to equilibrate for a minimum of 12 hours prior to compaction testing.

text: Step 4 Repeat steps 1 to 11 from 1.5.5.3.2.

text: Step 5 Repeat the test between four and seven times using the other prepared test portions with different water contents to obtain at least five points on the compaction curve. The water contents should be chosen so that:

text: .1 at least one point corresponds to moisture content higher than the optimum moisture content (OMC) or than the value corresponding to 70% of degree of saturation (S), in order to satisfactorily define the compaction curve; and

text: .2 at least one point corresponds to the degree of saturation (S) between 70% and 80%, in order to effectively assess the PFD70 value.

text: A point close to a degree of saturation (S) of 80% will also assist accurate assessment if the OMC is greater than 70%.

text: 1.5.5.3.4 Visual appearance of coal in the cylindrical mould

text: In order for the test to obtain a PFD70 value, all tests conducted at or below the PFD70 moisture value should have an even moisture distribution throughout the cylindrical mould.

text: Two examples of tests using samples of the same coal at different moisture contents are shown in figure 1.5.5.3.4.1. The left hand photograph shows a coal specimen at a relatively low degree of saturation. Note that the coal remains in place following removal of the collar. The right hand photograph shows a specimen near or possibly above 70% degree of saturation. Once again the coal remains in place following removal of the collar. Both tests provided valid points on the compaction curve.

text: Figure 1.5.5.3.4.1 Photographs showing valid tests for a partially saturated test portion (left) and a near fully saturated test portion (right) Coals where water passes through the spaces between particles exhibit moisture migration within the Proctor/Fagerberg cylindrical mould. Moisture migration may take place when the degree of saturation of the specimen is less than 70%. Evidence of moisture migration is from visual observation at the completion of each test as follows: .1 moisture leakage from the base of the mould is evident as shown in figure 1.5.5.3.4.2; and .2 the portion above the top of the cylindrical mould appears unsaturated and the test portion maintains its structure without deformation or movement. In this case, moisture migration has occurred and hence for this coal water passes through the spaces between particles.

The lines in figure 1.5.5.3.6 correspond to plots of void ratio (e) versus net water content (ev) at 20%, 40%, 60%, 70%, 80% and 100% degree of saturation (S). These lines are calculated

The preferred approach to presenting the results is to plot the void ratio (e) against the gross water content (W ) allowing moisture for any saturation level to be read directly from the plot as gross water content. This approach is shown in figure 1.5.5.3.7. The saturation lines are plotted according to the equation: 1 1 e = W /(100 - W ) × 100 × d/S The intercept of the compaction curve with the 70% degree of saturation line in figure 1.5.5.3.7 occurs at a gross water content of 15.4%, which is the transportable moisture limit (TML). For this example, the optimum moisture content (OMC) occurs at a degree of saturation of about 85%.

text: 1.5.5.3.8 Determination of transportable moisture limit

text: 1.5.5.3.8.1 Determination of PFD70 moisture content

text: The PFD70 value is determined as the gross (total) water content corresponding to the intersection of the compaction curve and the line S = 70% saturation. The optimum moisture content (OMC) is the gross (total) moisture content corresponding to the maximum compaction (maximum dry density and minimum void ratio) under the specified compaction condition.

text: The test procedure is applicable for determination of coal TML where the degree of saturation corresponding to the OMC of the coal is at or greater than 70%. Where the OMC lies below 70% degree of saturation, this test is not applicable for the specific coal and the PFD70 may overstate the TML. In such cases, the certificate of analysis should state that the OMC is below 70% saturation and the shipper should consult with an appropriate authority.

text: 1.5.5.3.8.2 Cases where the highest determinable point on the compaction curve lies below 70% saturation

text: In coals where there is visual evidence that water passes through the spaces between particles and the compaction curve does not extend to or beyond the 70% degree of saturation line, the coal is deemed to be free-draining and a TML value is not applicable. By reference to 7.2.2 of this Code, such coals are cargoes which are not liable to liquefy, and hence are classified as group B only.

text: .2 Sample homogenization and division

text: Divide the as-received sample into individual sub-samples using a sample dividing apparatus as specified in ISO 6140:1991 "Aluminium ores Preparation of samples". Place these subsamples into heavy-duty plastic buckets that can be sealed to preserve water content.

text: .3 Reconstituted sample preparation procedure

text: Reconstitution is required for bauxites if the amount of material in the representative sample that is coarser than 25 mm is greater than 10% of the total mass (by dry weight). In this case the reconstitution process below should be applied (see also figure 1.6.4.3). In this process, particles above 25 mm are removed from the sample and replaced by an equivalent mass of particles in the range 6.3 mm to 25 mm. Note that 6.3 mm is a standard sieve size. If it is not available, a 6 mm sieve may be used instead. Through reconstitution, a final reconstituted sample of sufficient mass for TML testing is generated which contains a maximum particle size of 25 mm, but which better reproduces the compaction characteristics of the full as-received particle size distribution with particles greater than 25 mm.

text: Discard material ~14 kg D < 6.3 mm

text: Bilaga 1

text: Step 1: The first step in sample preparation is to sieve the sample at 25 mm to determine the amount of dry weight that is larger than 25 mm. All material retained on the 25 mm sieve is to be discarded, while material passing 25 mm is to be tested (see figure 1.6.4.3). Screen about 40 kg of bauxite for one Proctor/Fagerberg compaction curve if reconstitution is required. If the amount (by dry weight) that is larger than 25 mm is 10% or less, then no reconstitution is required. A total of about 50 kg of 25 mm screened bauxite is needed for one Proctor/Fagerberg compaction curve. Obtain this and proceed to Step 4 if no reconstitution is required.

text: Step 2: If reconstitution is required, then from a separate representative sub-sample of the same ore screen at 25 mm and 6.3 mm and retain the portion between these two sieve sizes. Produce about 15 kg of screened bauxite between these two sizes for one Proctor/Fagerberg compaction curve (see figure 1.6.4.3).

text: Step 3: Add the 6.3 to 25 mm fraction from Step 2 to the <25 mm fraction from Step 1. The amount of 6.3 mm to 25 mm fraction added must be equal to the mass of > 25 mm bauxite removed and discarded in Step 1.

text: Step 4: Fully mix the reconstituted or scalped sample.

text: .4 Compaction

text: Compaction tests are executed for 5 to 10 (but typically 7) different moisture contents in separate tests. The number of tests should fully define the compaction curve, including accurately determining the optimum moisture content and conditions near to or at full saturation. A total of about 40 kg to 100 kg of unscreened bauxite is typically needed for one series of tests, depending on whether reconstitution is required or not.

text: Divide the screened bauxite into 5 to 10 subsamples and place each in a sealed plastic bucket. The water content of the subsamples is adjusted by adding a suitable amount of water into each bucket in order to obtain water contents ranging from the as-received water content to almost saturated sub-samples.

text: Typically, one test is carried out at the as-received water content. Four to eight tests are carried out at higher water contents. Depending on the as-received water content, one or two tests are carried out at lower water contents than the as-received water content. These lower water content tests are obtained by partially drying the bauxite sub-sample at room temperature. Note that full drying of the bauxite samples is not to be carried out. Note that some bauxites are not sensitive to pre-drying, but unless this is comprehensively demonstrated for the bauxite being tested, pre-drying is not permitted.

text: The subsamples are mixed at the target water contents before being allowed to rest and equilibrate overnight in the sealed plastic buckets. The plastic bucket contents are remixed immediately before compaction to ensure that a homogeneous sample is tested.

text: Bilaga 1

text: - 465 -

text: The required quantity of prepared bauxite per compaction test is about 5 kg, so this is the target amount for each subsample. The subsamples will be compacted at the prepared water contents to define a full compaction curve.

text: Approximately one fifth of the subsample in a plastic bucket is filled into the mould with the extension piece attached (figure 1.6.2) and levelled to form the first layer increment. Bauxites that display plasticity may tend to stick together into clumps at the wetter water contents. It is important to gently disaggregate the clumps by hand into small particles when loading the mould.

text: The bauxite is then tamped uniformly over the surface of the layer. Tamping is executed as per the Proctor/Fagerberg method D, by dropping a 150 g hammer 58 times through the guide pipe, 0.15 m each time. The guide tube is held by hand and positioned so that it is just touching with the surface of the ore, but is not resting on it. This allows the hammer to fall the full specified height and compact the bauxite, while avoiding additional (and excessive) compaction arising from the weight of the guide tube, itself, which should not be compressing the bauxite.

text: The performance is repeated for all five layers so that the last layer only just overfills the mould-extension piece junction. The aim is to fill the mould by compacting in five nearly equal layers in order to produce a uniformly compacted sample in which the specified energy has been put into bauxite that occupies the mould volume.

text: Bauxite should not extend more than 1 cm in height above the mould into the extension piece. If a height of more than 1 cm of bauxite is found, the sample has been under compacted and the test should be redone.

text: When the last layer has been tamped, the extension piece is removed and the sample is levelled off along the brim of the mould with care, ensuring to remove any large particles that may hinder levelling of the sample, replacing them with material contained in the extension piece and re-levelling.

text: The levelling process should be a horizontal cutting action, not a pushing action as that would compress more material into the mould volume than had been compacted by the specified energy input.

text: After the weight of the cylinder with the tamped sample has been determined, the cylinder is emptied, the full sample is dried at 105 C as per ISO moisture determination standard for bauxite (ISO 9033:1989 "Aluminium ores Determination of the moisture content of bulk material") and the weight is determined. The test is then repeated for the other samples with different moisture contents.

text: - 468 -

text: Should the optimum moisture content (OMC) of bauxite occur at or above 90% saturation, the critical moisture content is indicated by the intersection of the compaction curve and the line S = 80% degree of saturation (see figure 1.6.4.7.1). The TML is the critical moisture content.

text: Should the optimum moisture content (OMC) of bauxite occur below 90% saturation, the critical moisture content is indicated by the intersection of the compaction curve and the line S = 70% degree of saturation (see figure 1.6.4.7.2). The TML is the critical moisture content.

text: Where the OMC is not clearly defined by carrying out a sufficient number of tests at water contents close to and on either side of the OMC, then a TML based on S = 80% cannot be adopted. The TML shall be based on S = 70%. This is to guard against the erroneous adoption of a high OMC due to insufficient definition of the compaction curve.

text: Where moisture very freely drains from the sample at moisture content such that the test sample compaction curve does not extend to or beyond 70% saturation, the test is taken to indicate a cargo where water passes freely through the spaces between particles.

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 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/cm . .6 The rate of tilting should be approximately 0.3°/s. .7 Range of tilt should be at least 50°.

text: Figure 2.1.4 Basic sketch of tilting box

text: .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 0.5°. .10 A spirit level or some other levelling device should be available to zero the protractor.

text: Bilaga 1

text: - 471 - 2.1.5 Procedure 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 45° 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. 2.1.6 Evaluation The angle of repose is calculated as the mean of three measurements and is reported to within half a degree. Notes: Preferably the test should be carried out with three independent samples. 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. 2.2.2 Principle of test 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. 2.2.3 Equipment 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-L conical flask.

text: Bilaga 1

text: - 472 -

text: 2.2.4 Procedure

text: Put the sheet of paper on the table. Split 10 L of the material to be tested into three subsamples and test each in the following way:

text: Pour two thirds of the subsample (i.e. 2 L) onto the sheet, producing a starting cone. The remainder of this subsample 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.

text: 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.

text: The angle has to be measured at four places around the cone, about 90° apart.

text: This test should be repeated on the other two subsamples.

text: 2.2.5 Calculations

text: 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:

text: at = as + 3° (2.2.5)

text: Where at = angle of repose according to the tilting box text

text: as = angle of repose according to the survey test

text: 4 Trough test for determination of the self-sustaining exothermic decomposition of fertilizers containing nitrates

text: 4.1 Definition

text: 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.

text: Figure 4-1 Gauze trough with support and burners

text: 4.2 Apparatus and materials

text: 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

text: 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

text: 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. 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 400°C and 600°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.

text: - 479 -

text: 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.

text: 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.

text: 4.3 Procedure

text: 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.

text: 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.

text: 4.3.3 About 20 min 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.

text: 4.4 Test criteria and method of assessing results

text: 4.4.1 If propagation of the decomposition continues throughout the substance, the fertilizer is considered capable of showing self-sustaining decomposition.

text: 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.

text: 5 Description of the test of resistance to detonation

text: 5.1 Principle

text: 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.

text: Bilaga 1

text: - 480 - 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 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 pellet 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.

text: 6 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 140°C + 2°C. 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 140°C + 2°C. 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 140°C + 2°C 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 200°C. 6.3.2 Activated carbon and activated charcoal fail the test if the temperature at any time during the 12 hours exceeded 400°C.

text: 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).

text: Bilaga 1

text: - 485 -

text: 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 3.1 In circumstances where consultation with the competent authority is required prior to 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. 3.2 Where required, the Medical First Aid Guide for Use in Accidents Involving Dangerous Goods (MFAG) should be consulted prior to loading.

text: Hazard Although this cargo passes the trough test (referred to in the UN Manual of Tests and Criteria, part III, section 39), and hence does not fall in class 9, when carried in bulk in large quantities, it may still be subject to decomposition if strongly heated from external sources. Once initiated, decomposition might gradually spread through the remainder of the cargo, producing large volumes of toxic gases.

text: This cargo is not subject to an explosion hazard.

text: Fertilizer dust might be irritating to skin and mucous membranes. It is hygroscopic cargo and will cake if wet.

text: Stowage and segregation be stowed immediately adjacent to any tank, double bottom or pipe containing heated fuel oil, unless there are permanent means and procedures to monitor and control the temperature so that it does not exceed 50°C. Fertilizers of this type shall be stowed out of direct contact with a metal engine-room boundary. This may be done, for example, by using flame-retardant bags containing inert materials or by any equivalent arrangement approved by the competent authority of the country of origin. This requirement does not apply if the bulkhead is class A-60 or to short international voyages.

text: The hatches of the cargo spaces, including those of 'tween decks, shall be kept free at all times. In case of an emergency, whenever this material is on board, opening the hatches must be enabled (see 9.3.1.13 of this Code).

text: Due consideration shall be given to the necessity to open hatches in case of decomposition to provide maximum ventilation, release pressure and heat, and slow down the reaction.

text: During loading, the following provisions shall be complied with Organic contamination aggravates decomposition behaviour in the presence of sources of heat, and therefore bunkering of fuel oil shall not be allowed during loading.

text: Pumping of fuel oil in spaces adjacent to the cargo spaces for this cargo, other than the engine-room, shall not be allowed.

text: Precautions NO SMOKING signs shall be displayed on deck whenever this cargo is on board. Smoking shall not be allowed on deck and in the cargo spaces.

text: The master and officers are to note that the ship's fixed gas fire-fighting installation will be ineffective on decompositions involving this cargo and must not be used. If decomposition is identified, water must be applied without delay. Injection to the seat of decomposition is the first control measure because it uses less water and can be more effective in early decomposition stages. Total flooding is the final control measure but can introduce stability and stress issues. The consequential risk to the stability of the ship through fluidization of the cargo must be taken into account in both cases. Application of water to the surface of the cargo is much less effective and can give a false sense of safety.

text: Ventilation The cargo spaces carrying this cargo shall not be ventilated during the voyage, except in an emergency.

text: Carriage There shall be a daily monitoring, recording and assessment of the trends of the cargo temperature and oxygen concentration in the cargo space(s) throughout the voyage.

text: Increase of temperature and decrease of oxygen concentration give an early indication of a decomposition.

text: In addition, should decomposition occur, the residue left after decomposition may have only half the mass of the original cargo. Due consideration shall be given to the effect of the loss of mass on the stability of the ship.

text: Emergency action in the event of fire or decomposition Decomposition in a cargo space containing this material: The master and officers are to note that the ship's fixed gas fire-fighting installation will be ineffective on decompositions involving this cargo and must not be used. If decomposition is identified, water must be applied without delay. Injection to the seat of decomposition is the first control measure (e.g. using Victor lance) because it uses less water and can be more effective in early decomposition stages. Total flooding is the final control measure but can introduce stability and stress issues. The consequential risk to the stability of the ship through fluidization of the cargo must be taken into account in both cases. Application of water to the surface of the cargo is much less effective and can give a false sense of safety. Fire in an adjacent cargo space: Heat transferred from fire in an adjacent space can cause the material to decompose with consequent evolution of toxic fumes. Open hatches to provide maximum ventilation. Dividing bulkheads should be cooled.
