    Additional safety measures were adopted in 1997 for bulk carriers to enter into force in 1999, including: 1. Damage stability requirements for bulk carriers over 150m in length. 2. Requirements for bulk carriers over 150m and 10 years old to undergo surveys before carrying dense cargos. 3. A double-skin construction option for new bulk carriers over 150m carrying dense cargos from 1999 onward. The document outlines various cargo and vessel requirements to improve safety of bulk carriers.

    Additional Safety Measure in Bulk Carriers

    SOLAS Chapter : 12, Regulation : ( 1to 14)


    Adopted in November 1997 &
    Entered into force on - 01 July 1999

    1. Damage stability requirements applicable to bulk carriers.

    2. Bulk carriers of 150 m length & upwards of single skin construction constructed before
    01 July 1999, of 10 years of age and over, shall not carry solid bulk cargoes having a
    density of 1780 kg/m3 & above unless they have undergone a survey as per
    ESP ( Enhanced Survey Program).

    3. The option of Double - Skin construction will apply to new Bulk Carriers of 150 m in
    length & over ( after 01 July 1999), carrying solid bulk cargoes having a density of
    1000 kg/m3 & above.

    4. The Shipper has to declare the density of cargo along with other information required
    by chapter VI – IMSBC Code.

    IMSBC Code = The International Maritime Solid Bulk Cargoes Code


    Other Information : Cargo Properties + Moisture content of cargo + TML (Transportable
    Moisture Level) + HME/Non-HME (Harmful to Marine Environment)- Latest Inclusion.

    5. Availability of pumping system (In Void/Ballast spaces).

    6. Loading Instrument (Loadicator) :


    - Bulk carriers of 150 m in length & above shall be fitted with a loading instrument
    capable of providing information on hull girder shear forces & bending moments, taking
    into account the recommendation adopted by the organization.

    7. Hold, ballast & dry space water ingress alarm :

    - Water level detectors in cargo holds :


    0.5 m (1st alarm) /15% or 2m (2nd alarm) whichever is lower.

    MILTON
    - Water level detectors in ballast tank :
    Audible & visual alarm when the liquid in the forward ballast tank reaches a level not
    exceeding 10% of tank capacity.
    - Water level detectors in dry or void space :
    In each & every dry or void space of a bulk carrier, any part of which extends forward of
    the foremost cargo hold, giving an audible & visual alarm at a water depth of 0.1 m in
    that space.

    Others :

    The aim of the mandatory IMSBC Code is to facilitate the safe stowage and shipment of solid
    bulk cargoes by providing information on the dangers associated with the shipment of certain
    types of cargo and instructions on the appropriate procedures to be adopted.

    The MSC at its 79th session in December 2004 adopted an amendment to regulation 31 in
    SOLAS chapter III (Life-saving appliances and arrangements) to make mandatory the carriage
    of free-fall lifeboats on bulk carriers.

    The resulting Code of Practice for the Safe Loading and Unloading of Bulk Carriers (BLU Code)
    was approved by the MSC at its 68th session (June 1997) and adopted by the Assembly at its
    20th session (November 1997) by resolution A.862(20).
    The BLU Code, which provides guidance to masters of bulk carriers, terminal operators and
    other parties concerned with the safe handling, loading and unloading of solid bulk cargoes, is
    also linked to regulation VI/7 of the 1974 SOLAS Convention, as amended by resolution
    MSC.47(66).
