716 - 09/10 - Iron Ore Fines/Iron Ore Lumps and Fines Update - India

The Club’s earlier LP Bulletins 695 - 5/2010, 660 - 10/09, 647 - 7/09 and 546 - 10/07 warn members of the serious risks that can be associated with the carriage of iron ore fines loaded in Indian ports as well as the difficulties that can be experienced when such a cargo is found to be unsafe for carriage after it has been loaded.

The Club would like to remind Members that this is an ongoing problem and is particularly relevant at this time as very heavy rains are being experienced during this current monsoon season.
