Liquefaction

Under the IMSBC Code, a Group A cargo is one which may liquefy if shipped at a moisture content in excess of its transportable moisture limit

Iron Ore Fines Cargoes exported from Sierra Leone have been identified as an area of increasing concern due to a lack of regulatory oversight at loading ports and the potential for excessive wetting and thereby liquefaction and instability.

From 1st January 2021 the revised IMSBC Code 2020 enters force.

The UK Club is pleased to share a guide outlining the potential dangers related to Nickel ore cargo, locations of loading areas, the importance of sampling and certification and additional local guidance
