12.5 Packaged Cargoes

12.5.1 Petroleum and Other Flammable Liquids

Packaged petroleum cargoes are usually shipped in steel drums of
approximately 200 litres capacity. Products transported in this manner
include gasoline, kerosene, gas oils and lubricating oil.

In addition to the general safety precautions for handling bulk petroleum,

the following procedures should be observed when handling packaged
petroleum products.

12.5.1.1
Packaged petroleum and other flammable liquids should not be
handled during the loading of volatile petroleum in bulk, except
with the express permission of both the Responsible Officer and
the Terminal Representative. When handling steel drums, the
loading of bulk cargo should be suspended owing to the

increased risk of spark generation.

12.5.1.2
A Responsible Officer should supervise the handling of packaged
petroleum and other flammable liquids. The following precautions
should be taken:
Stevedores must comply with smoking restrictions and other
safety regulations.
When permanent hatch protection is not fitted, temporary
protection should be provided to avoid the risk of sparks being
caused by hoists striking the hatch coamings, hatch sides or
hold ladders.
All hoists should be of a size suitable for passing through
hatches with ample clearance.

Fibre rope slings, cargo nets, or drum hooks on wire rope or
chain slings, should be used for handling loose drums.
Goods should preferably be palleted and secured. Pallets
should be lifted with pallet lifting gear with safety nets. If goods
are not presented on pallets, cargo trays or fibre rope slings
may be used. The use of cargo nets for packaged goods is
generally to be discouraged as they are liable to cause
damage to the packaging.
Loose gas cylinders should be handled with cargo nets of a
sufficiently small mesh to prevent them falling through the net.
Cylinders should never be handled by the valve or protection
cap. Cylinders should never be lifted on board using lifting
magnets, chains, slings or strops. A cylinder trolley or other
appropriate device should be used when moving cylinders,
even for short distances.
