Hazards
Contributing factors/mechanisms to
damage/claim of steel cargoes
Types of damages/claims
Water causing wetting of cargo
• Fresh water
• Salt water
• Humidity/condensation
Condition of vessel
• Hatch covers
• Cargo hold access hatch and
ventilation hatch
• Main deck and hatch coaming
• Cargo hold condition
• Ballast, bilge and piping systems
• Insufficient or excessive ventilation
of cargo holds as per external and
internal environmental/humidity
conditions
Water damage
• Rust
• Pitting
• Discoloration
• Residual odor
“Foreign bodies” in the cargo hold
that contaminate or otherwise damage
the cargo
• Salts
• Corrosive, combustive or radioactive
materials or chemicals
• Odors
• Incompatible cargoes in same hold
Condition of holds, stow and cargo
• Cleanliness of cargo hold
• Improper stowage or cargo separation
• Improper cargo packaging or protection
Chemical damage
• Rust
• Pitting
• Discoloration
• Residual odor
• Contamination
Improper cargo handling leading to
damage to vessel and cargo during
loading and discharge
Improper or insufficient stowage handling,
lashing and/or securing methods
• Dunnage
• Lack of consideration of tank top
strength and point loading weight
• Stacking/stowage
• Lashing/securing
• Rough handling in cargo hold
• Spatially placed with “incompatible”
cargoes
• Use of improper/poor cargo handling
gears
• Neglect the safe working load (SWL)
of the cargo gear and cranes
• Ignore the cargo lifting points and
gravity center during lifting
Damage to the vessel
• Impact the vessel’s seaworthiness
• The vessel’s structures and fittings
• External structures (from damage by
deck cargoes)
Damage to the cargo
• Loss of deck cargo overboard
during voyage
• Collapse of cargo stow in holds
• Physical damage to other cargoes
already in stowage, being handled
and/or other cargoes in holds
