2.5 Cleaning of the vessel cargo holds 2.5.1 The conditions of the cargo holds can be adversely affected by a number of contributing factors that may make the holds unsuitable for the carriage of steel cargoes. Depending upon the cargo hold conditions, and if requested by the charterer or charter party requirements, holds should also be disinfected, deodorized and/or ventilated. 2.5.2 Damage can also be caused by contamination from foreign bodies or substances, or when there is inadequate segregation between cargo consignments. With this in mind, the following precautions should be taken in preparation of the cargo hold before the loading of steel cargoes. 2.5.2.1 Cargo holds should be properly swept, cleaned, washed, mopped, well ventilated and dried, including sides, stringers, pockets, brackets, etc. to minimize or avert the prospect of having residues from previous cargoes, other debris and water or moisture anywhere in the holds.

Such operation should be performed by an approved professional in a safe manner. It should be noted that, if the vessel is to load in, or for, certain countries such as Australia, all traces and evidence of insect/ larvae should be removed. 2.5.2.5 During the cleaning process, close attention should be paid to tank top plating, ceiling boxes, beams, frames, spar ceiling, hatch beams, pipework, ladders, etc. 2.5.2.6 Double burlap wrapping should be applied on the bilge cover plates and adhered with tape. 2.5.2.7 Hatch covers should be fully weather tight to avoid any chance of water ingress. The backsides of hatch covers should be carefully inspected to ensure that they are free of cargo residue, rust, rust scale, or other contaminants. 2.5.2.8 Certificate of cleanliness. It is highly recommended that a qualified third party inspection should be performed after the cargo holds have been cleaned before accepting any steel cargoes. The inspection should also result in the issuance of a certificate confirming fitness for loading. tải về 1.97 Mb. Chia sẻ với bạn bè của bạn:
