CARRIAGE AND STORAGE OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS
Each package should be inspected for leakage or damage
before being stowed, and any found defective to an extent
---ใช้เพื่อการศึกษาเท่านั้น---
likely to impair safety should be rejected.
Packages should be placed on dunnage on the deck or in the
hold.

Packages should not be dragged across the deck or hold and
should not be allowed to slide or roll free.
Cans and drums should be stowed with caps and end plugs
uppermost.
When securing the cargo, each tier should be separated by
dunnage. The height to which cargo can be safely stowed
should be related to the nature, size and strength of the
packages. Advice should be obtained from the terminal or
shipper, as appropriate.
Sufficient suitable dunnage should be used to prevent possible
damage during the voyage.
The cargo should be properly secured to prevent any
movement during the voyage.
During darkness, adequate approved lighting should be
provided over the side and in the hold.
Empty receptacles, unless gas free, should be treated as filled
receptacles. ึ
No materials susceptible to spontaneous combustion should
be used as dunnage or stowed in the same compartment as
the packages. Attention is drawn to the combustible nature of
certain protective packaging, such as straw, wood shavings,
bituminised paper, felts and polyurethane.
On completion of loading or discharge and prior to closing
hatches, the hold should be inspected to check that everything
is in order.
12.5.2 Dangerous Goods
Dangerous goods are classified in Chapter VII of the International
Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS), 1974.
The Master should only permit aboard the ship packaged dangerous
goods which have been properly identified by the shipper of the goods
and declared as being properly packaged, marked and labelled in
compliance with the appropriate provisions of the International Maritime
Dangerous Goods (IMDG) Code, taking into consideration, as
appropriate, the IMO ‘Recommendations on the Safe Transport of
Dangerous Cargoes and Related Activities in Port Areas’.
Before accepting the cargo, the Master should check that he has received
adequate advice on any special properties of the cargo, on procedures
for entering an enclosed compartment containing the cargo, and for
dealing with any leak, spill, inhalation, skin contact or fire.
Attention is drawn to the advice for dealing with spillage or fire contained
in the IMO guide ‘Emergency Procedures for Ships Carrying Dangerous
Goods – Group Emergency Schedules’.
