purpose and general use of seagoing bulk carriers home bulk cargo planning care safety self unloaders purpose and general use of seagoing bulk carriers operation of sea going bulk carriers involved numerous hazards careful planning and exercising due caution for all critical shipboard matters are important this site is a quick reference to international shipping community with guidance and information on the loading and discharging of various bulk cargo types and is to remain within the limitations as specified by the classification society it is vital to reduce the likelihood of over stressing the ship s structure and also complying with all essential safety measures for a safe passage at sea our detail pages contain various bulk carrier related topics that might be useful for people working on board and those who working ashore in the terminal general features of seagoing bulk carriers bulk carriers are single deck vessels designed with top side tanks and hopper side tanks in cargo spaces and are intended primarily to carry single commodity solid bulk cargo solid bulk cargo means any material other than liquid or gas consisting of a combination of particles granules or any larger piece of material generally uniform in composition which is loaded directly into the cargo spaces of a ship without any immediate form of containment example of such dry cargo are grain sugar and ores in bulk in its broadest sense the term bulk carrier embraces all ships designed primarily for the carriage of solid or liquid cargo in bulk form and so would include tankers in ordinary usage however the term is normally used for those vessels designed for the transport of solid bulk cargos typically grain and similar agricultural products and mineral products like coal ore stone etc on one or more voyage legs what is a bulk carrier a ship which is intended primarily to carry dry cargo in bulk including such types as ore carriers and combination carriers fig a bulk carrier on sea passage general features of bulk carriers are carrying capacity varying from 3 000 tonnes to 300 000 tonnes average speed of 12 15 knots single deck ships ie no tweendecks small to medium sized bulk carriers carrying capacity up to 40 000 tonnes generally have cargo handling gear fitted while larger vessels use shore based facilities for loading and unloading the cargo holds are usually large without any obstructions with larger hatch sizes to allow easy loading unloading of cargoes most bulk carriers have one cargo hold dedicated as a ballast hold this can be used on ballast voyages for improved stability one or two further holds may be permitted for partially ballasting but only in port they have hydraulic single pull or stacking piggy back type steel hatch covers these ships usually have four types of ballast tanks sloping topside wing tanks sloping bottom side wing tanks double bottom tanks fore peak and after peak ballast water tank fig bulk carrier statistics the first reference source for the carriage of bulk cargo should be the international maritime solid bulk cargoes code imsbc issued by imo it was revised and reissued in 2009 it is a requirement that a copy of the code should be onboard a bulk carrier and the revised code is mandatory under solas from 1 january 2011 other reference publications thomas stowage the properties of stowage of cargoes imdg code supplement to the code marpol 73 78 and amendments imo resolution a 868 20 guidelines for preventing the introduction of unwanted aquatic organisms and pathogens from ship s ballast water and sediment discharged ship s cargo securing manual approved by class solas 1974 and amendments guide to port entry our detail pages illustrates many safety aspects of bulk carrier home page bulk carrier types handling of bulk coal cargo planning carriage of grain risk of iron ores self unloading bulk carriers care of cargo vessel cargoes that may liquefy suitability of ships terminal guideline hold cleaning cargo cranes ballast handling procedure bulk carrier safety fire fighting systems bulk carrier general arrangement top articles care of cargo during loading trimming pours classification of various dry bulk commodities practice of draft survey measurement of bulk cargo loaded or discharged for any remarks please contact us copyright 2010 bulkcarrierguide com all rights reserved although every effort have been taken to improve the accuracy of content provided the publisher of this website cannot take responsibility for errors disclaimer privacy policy home page
