Dangerous cargoes
Dangerous cargoes are classed as cargoes which owing to their inflammable or explosive nature are liable to spontaneous combustion, either in themselves or when stowed with other cargoes.
Cargoes which give off explosive gases, poisonous fumes or tainting odours are also classed as dangerous goods, the gases of which, when mixed with air, are liable to explosion.
The following liquid cargoes may be classed as dangerous ones: fuel oil, petrol, kerosene, lubricants, acids.
Such oil products as petrol, kerosene and fuel oil are transported in oil tankers, cisterns, iron casks, containers and cans.
Lubricating oils are transported in wooden barrels, in drums made of plywood, in cans and boxes.
Bitumens are usually made in blocks and as a rule in wooden or iron packages.
Cargoes which may readily ignite on contact with air should be packed in hermetically sealed receptacles, some of which may be required to be filled with suitable liquid or an inert gas.
Before stowage packages containing these cargoes an inspection should be made for signs of leakage or previous leakage.
While stowing, such cargoes should be kept away from inflammable solids, from cargoes which are dangerous when wet or corrosive. Such cargoes should be effectively segregated to avoid interaction with spontaneously combustible cargoes in the event of an accident but may be carried in the same hold or compartment or on deck if a minimum horizontal separation of 3 metres projected vertically is provided. The packages of explosives, inflammable gases, inflammable liquids, oxidizing substances and radioactive substances should not be loaded in the same hold or compartment containing spontaneously combustible substances.
The weight of each package should not exceed the maximum allowed weight 100 kg.
