IACS Guidance and information on bulk cargo loading and discharging to reduce the likelihood of over-stressing the hull structure.
|
|
|
In such cases, the Multiload Option “Cargo Loading Sequence with report” including “Free Mode” method is a total solution to the requirement for Bulk Carriers to prepare a Loading or Unloading Plan before arriving to the Terminal (as per Common Structural Rules Chapter 4, Section 8, par. 2.1.2, where the Loading / Unloading Sequence is to be agreed with the terminal on the basis of achievable rates of change of ballast). |

Deck cargo on bulk carriers – What you need to know?
|
|
|
Structural strength The deck and hatch covers usually have a structural capacity for uniformly distributed load (UDL), without any reinforcements. This load corresponds to the green sea pressure used in the approval of the vessel. Stability documentation Compliance with applicable stability and longitudinal strength criteria in deck cargo loading conditions shall be shown in updated/amended stability manuals. In general, intact GM limit curves shall be recalculated taking into account an additional wind profile area from deck cargo. Probabilistic damage stability calculations may also be required for ships with reduced freeboard (B-60/B-100), ref. IACS UI LL65. For ships with B freeboard (without reduction), it may be necessary to re-address the damage stability calculations of SOLAS Chapter XII (flooding of single holds), depending on how compliance was documented originally. The Loading Computer System (LCS) will have to be updated as necessary with new GM limits, profile curves or other stored data. |

Testimonial
- Mr. Malliaroudakis and all the ERS team have been very effective and remarkably responsive to the Annual Drills and mostly in real incidents, rendering the whole cooperation in that field with their side, an effortless and precious process. This is one of the major reasons that have led Starbulk to appoint SMM as an Emergency Response Service provider for the majority of our vessels. Furthermore, we highly appreciate SMM's loading instrument MULTILOAD for its ease of use and exceptional approach for Loading/Unloading Sequence taking into account Ballasting/Deballasting & Loading/Unloading rates respectively.
