1.1 Objectives: To define and specify the hazards, causes, contributing factors and damages associated with the transportation of steel cargoes by ship. 1.2 Hazards and types of damages and claims for steel cargoes 1.2.1 The primary focus of attention of this guidance is from when a cargo is surveyed by vessel owner’s interests at the loading port, until discharge into the hands of cargo receivers at the discharge port. Depending on the applicable law or contract involved, the period of responsibility for a vessel owner may commence anywhere from “tackle to tackle” (as per the Hague Rules or U.S. Carriage of Goods By Sea Act (COGSA)) to periods before the loading and after the discharge (as per certain bill of lading clauses). During these time periods, the steel cargo is exposed to various hazards and hazard ‘contributing mechanisms’ (e.g. poor condition of a vessel cargo hold) that can lead to damages to cargo as seen in Figure 1.1. This guidance provides loss prevention recommendations that have been applied based upon best practices from many years of industry experience. Loss prevention & best practices Figure 1.1 | Exposure of steel cargoes to hazards and hazardous contributing mechanisms leads to damages controlled by loss prevention practices. 1.2.2 Table 1.1 provides an inventory of significant hazards, causal factors/mechanisms and consequential damages to steel cargoes while being transported in ships by sea that are addressed by this guidance.
