Can Test of ore liquefying

Can Test of ore liquefying for iron fine and nickel ore

In safety at sea, the Can Test of ore liquefying for iron fine, nickel, coal and other bulk cargo liquefaction during loading parcels of bulk cargo into cargo holds.

Warning

must ensure the ship has received all the documentation necessary for the safe loading of the ship. The loading should be not begin until valid certification has been provided.
Urgent stop of loading any parcel of cargo which is in excess of its transportable moisture limit
if there is any doubt as to the validity of the certificates for moisture content and transportable moisture limit, the surveyor should carry out tests before loading.
an independent surveyor can assist the master in sampling for moisture content analysis
in tropical countries additional moisture content analysis may be necessary
the ’Can Test’ method alone should never be solely relied upon
a visual inspection of the cargo will identify the stockpiles before loading to establish parts of the consignment which may have appreciable differences in moisture content
ensure the cargo is retested for moisture content and transportable moisture limit if it is ’wetter’ after rain exposure, or if the certificate is not correct
ensure the cargo is loaded and trimmed as evenly as possible
IMSBC Code must always be followed
resist any commercial pressure
contact local AIM Control if surveyor is in doubt of the suitability and safety of the cargo and having Master’s comment.

BULK_CARGO_LIQUEFACTION_SURVEY

In ocean shipping of ore in viscous, there are a lot of accident caused to Vessels and crews due to incidents from carrying of bulk cargoes liquefying at sea.

Excessively wet cargoes of ore in viscous in ships’ holds can turn quickly to an uncontrollable fluid when voyage, consequences in catastrophic capsizes.

These dangerous goods are solid nickel ore cargoes, iron and aluminium ore (bauxite) as well as coal contain undetected and unsafe levels of moisture
