Types of solid bulk mineral and coals of cargoes

The GROUPS

The characteristics of solid bulk cargoes have been divided into three groups; Group A, Group B and Group C.

Group A** - cargoes which may liquefy if shipped at a moisture content in excess of their transportable moisture limit.
Group B - cargoes which possess a chemical hazard which could give rise to a dangerous situation on the ship.
Group C - cargoes which are neither liable to liquefy (Group A) nor possess chemical hazards (Group B).
Some mineral cargoes can be both Group A and Group B, i.e., they may liquefy, and have a chemical hazard as well.

Transportable Moisture Limit (TML) – the name says it all, it is the maximum moisture content, which is considered safe for carriage of Group A cargoes. It is given as a percentage.

The moisture content of the cargo (which may be referred to as ‘MC’) is also given as a percentage, and must be established by the shipper within 7 days of loading.

Providing the moisture content is less than the TML, the cargo meets the carriage requirements of the Code. If shippers report a Flow Moisture Point (FMP), the TML will be 90% of this value.

It is always worth checking shipper’s calculations on this matter. Five test methods are used to determine TML in the 2018 edition of the Code, only two of which produce an FMP, but all give a TML.
