What is Angle of Repose? |
Is the maximum slope angle of non-cohesive material. Usually a cargo of less than 35' angle of repose is at risk of shifting. i.e. Grain/Granular Cargo. |
|
|
What is Transportable Moisture Limit? |
Is the maximum moisture content of the cargo which is considered safe for carriage. Usually determined as 90% of the Flow Moisture Point. |
|
|
What is the Flow Moisture Point? |
Is the percentage moisture content of a cargo, at which flow state may develop. |
|
|
Flow State? |
This is the state that occurs when a mass of granular material is saturated with a liquid, to the extent that when subjected to external forces it will behave like a liquid. |
|
|
What is Stowage Factor? |
This is the figure which expresses the number of cubic meters which one tonne of cargo will occupy. (M3/Tonne) |
|
|
What are the groups of bulk cargoes? |
Group A : Cargoes which may liquefy Group B : Cargoes with Chemical Hazard Group C : Cargoes which won't Liquefy nor posses a chemical hazard. |
|
|
What is MHB? |
Cargoes which may pose a chemical hazard other than those listed in the IMDG Code. |

|
What is the BLU Manual? |
It was created to minimize the losses of Bulk Carriers by introducing proper procedures for loading and unloading which must be followed by both the ship and the Terminal. Port Authorities have the right to stop operations that they deem to pose a risk. |
