The BLU Code is intended for use by bulk carrier ships while the BLU Manual is for use by terminal operators, representatives or others who may be involved in training relevant personnel. The BLU Code refers to the appendices within the Code and the BLU Manual refers to annexes. Both manuals should be consulted to ensure safety of operations during loading/unloading of bulk carriers.

Contains sections and appendices as follows: Section 1. Definitions; Section 2. Suitability of ships and terminals; Section 3. Procedures between ship and shore prior to the ships arrival; Section 4. Procedures between ship and terminal prior to cargo handling; Section 5. Cargo loading and handling of ballast; Section 6. Unloading cargo and handling of ballast; Appendix 1. Recommended contents of port and terminal information books;

Appendix 2. Loading or unloading plan; Appendix 3. Ship/shore safety checklist; Appendix 4. Guidelines for completing the ship/shore safety checklist; Appendix 5. Form for cargo information. Q. 288) what is SOF and what all are information available Statement of Facts is a shipping document issued by Master/Agent of a Carrier/Vessel. It a statement detailing the complete loading/discharging status of the goods from the time vessel has arrived the port to the time the loading/unloading is completed. This is the basis for calculating the laytime and demurrage/despatch thereon (depending on the quick/delayed loading or unloading). This statement of facts is usually exchanged between the buyer and the seller outside the LC after the goods are shipped/received. Any corrections in calculations are discussed and mutual consent is achieved by discussions on the final laytime figure. May be the LC applicant wishes to incorporate the Statement of facts in the LC so that he is assured of correct calculations sheet and there is no scope of dispute. If the calculations are not correct, he wishes to reject the documents. (I guess its an FOB purchase for the buyer) However this is not possible because Statement of Facts, if not explained or detailed in the LC for its purpose, is only a document to be accepted by a bank without any discrepancy. Even though the applicant may not accept it, but the bank cannot reject the document on the grounds of wrong calculations.

Q. 293) Why one forth of its max breadth is set as a limitation for timber deck cargo in winter zone during winter? Q. 294) Loading of DG container on Container vessel? Q. 295) what are the height requirements for loading timber? the height of the timber deck cargo above the weather deck on a ship within a seasonal winter zone in winter should not exceed one third of the extreme breadth of ship.

3.2.2 The height of the timber deck cargo should be restricted so that: .1 adequate visibility is assured; .2 a safe margin of stability is maintained at all stages of the voyage: .3 any forward facing profile does not present overhanging shoulders to a head sea; and .4 the weight of the timber deck cargo does not exceed the designed maximum permissible load on the weather deck and hatches. 3.2.3 On ships provided with, and making use of, their timber load line, the timber deck cargo should be stowed so as to extend: .1 over the entire available length of the well or wells between superstructures and as close as practicable to end bulkhead .2 at least to the after end of the aftermost hatchway in the case where there is no limiting superstructure at the after end; .3 athwartship as close as possible to the ship sides, after making due allowance for obstructions such as guard rails, bulwark stays, uprights, pilot boarding access, etc., provided any area of broken stowage thus created at the side of the ship does not exceed a mean of 4%

of the breadth; and .4 to at least the standard height of a superstructure other than a raised quarterdeck. Q. 296) stability criteria for timber? 2.1 The ship should be supplied with comprehensive stability information which takes into account timber deck cargo. Such information should enable the master rapidly and simply, to obtain accurate guidance as to the stability of the ship under varying conditions of service. Comprehensive rolling period tables or diagrams have proved to be a very useful aid in verifying the actual stability conditions. 2.2 The stability of the ship at all times, including during the process of loading and unloading timber deck cargo, should be positive and to a standard acceptable to the Administration. It should be calculated having regard to: .1 the increased weight of the timber deck cargo due to: .1 absorption of water in dried of seasoned timber, and .2 ice accretion, if applicable; .2 variations in consumables; .3 the free surface affect of liquid in tanks; and .4 weight of water trapped in broken spaces within the timber deck cargo and especially logs. 2.3 The master should: .1 cease all loading operations if a list develops for which there is no satisfactory explanation and it would be imprudent to continue loading; .2 before proceeding to sea, ensure that: .1 the ship is upright; .2 the ship has an adequate metacentric height; and .3 the ship meets the required stability criteria. 2.4 Ship carrying timber deck cargoes should be operate, as far as possible, with a safe margin of stability and with a metacentric height which is consistent with safety requirements but such metacentric height should not be allowed to fall below the recommended minimum. 2.5 However, excessive initial stability should be avoided as it will result in rapid and violent motion in heavy seas which will impose large sliding and racking forces on the cargo causing high stresses on the lashings. Operational experience indicates that metacentric height should preferably not exceed 3% of the breadth in order to prevent excessive accelerations in rolling provided that relevant stability criteria are satisfied. This recommendation may not apply to all ships and the master should take into consideration the stability information obtained from the ship's stability manual. Q. 297) what is TML? Transportable moisture limit is the max allowable moisture content in the cargo for transpotation and it is 90% of FMP(flow moisture point) Q. 298) properties of grain?.why is grain considered so specially for carriage and not other cargoes? Q. 299) what is angle of repose? The angle of repose or, more precisely, the critical angle of repose,[1] of a granular material is the steepest angle of descent or dip of the slope relative to the horizontal plane when material on the slope face is on the verge of sliding. This angle is given by the number (090). Q. 300) bay plan in detail? Working stowage plans are drawn up to assist in advance planning. Master plans definitively document the positioning of containers on board. The bay-row-tier system follows a system of numerical coordinates relating to length, width and height. The stowage space of the container on board the ship is unambiguously stated in numbers and is (almost always) recorded in the shipping documents. It is then also possible to establish at a later date where the container was carried during maritime transport.

Principle of bay-row-tier coordinates

According to this principle, bays are the container blocks in the transverse direction, rows are the lengthwise rows and tiers are the vertical layers.

Thirty-eight 20' container bays on a ship

Theoretically, the thirty-eight bays could be numbered continuously from 1 to 38. However,

that would only be sensible if only 20' containers could actually be loaded.

Nineteen 40' container bays on a ship

If the ship could only transport 40' containers, the nineteen bays could be numbered continuously from 1 to 19.

Bay numbering system

Since, however, the ship can transport both 20' and 40' containers, the bay spaces for 20' containers are numbered throughout fore to aft with odd numbers, i.e. in this case 01, 03, 05 and so on up to 75. The bay spaces for 40' containers are numbered throughout with even numbers: 02, 04, 06 and so on up to 74. The purple 20' container in the first bay has the bay number 01. The light-brown 20' container in the second bay has the bay number 03 and the light-blue 40' container, which occupies a space in the first and second bays, has the bay number 02. The magenta-colored container has the bay number 25, the dark-green number 27 and the light-green number 26. To illustrate a cross-section through a bay, one needs to imagine that one is standing in front of or behind the ship.

In the case of bay plans, the respective bay is always viewed from behind.

The rows of containers on a ship are numbered with even numbers from the center leftward and odd numbers from the center rightward.

Row numbering where there is an even number of rows

Where there is an odd number of rows, the middle row is numbered 00.

Row numbering where there is an odd number of rows

Numbering of the port rows on board ship

On close inspection, the photograph shows left-hand row 16, which is designed to be filled with containers only on deck, and rows 14, 12, 10, 08, 06, which may be filled both on deck and in the holds. Rows 04, 02, 00, 01 and 03 are likewise designed to be occupied in the hold and on deck. However, the hatch covers are already on in this case.

Numbering of the starboard rows on board ship

Rows 05, 07, 09, 11 and 13 are still empty in this bay. Row 15 is designed only for on deck occupation, and is still free in this bay.

Row numbers of the aft bay of a ship

The container tiers are numbered with even numbers, starting from the bottom. The conventional way is start with 02 in the hold and then count up with 04, 06 etc. In the case of deck cargoes, it is conventional to start numbering with 80 or 82. There are sometimes slight differences between ships.

Numbering of horizontal container layers, or tiers

On this ship, the containers standing directly on the main deck are numbered 80 and those standing on the hatches are number 82. The number is incremented by two for each higher layer. These bay, row and tier numbers are noted in the bay plans.

Bay plan

The loaded containers, with their alpha prefix, their container numbers, the port of destination or discharge and other important details are noted in the bay plans.

Color-labeled containers in a bay plan

According to the bay-row-tier system, the colored containers were given the following stowage space numbers: a 20' container in the red-colored slot: 531212 a 40' container in the blue-colored slot: 540788

a 20' container in the green-colored slot: 551184 The system illustrated is the most widely used. However, other numbering systems do exist, in which the coordinates are stated in a different order, for example row-bay-tier systems and similar combinations. On ro/ro ships, the slots are usually organized along lanes running lengthwise. In individual cases and if required, such information may be obtained from shipping companies, cargo-handling companies or other competent persons. Q. 301) what are the classes of chemicals? Q. 302) What is Afframax?Define? An Aframax ship is an oil tanker smaller than 120,000 metric tons deadweight (DWT) and with a breadth above 32.31 m.[1] The term is based on the Average Freight Rate Assessment (AFRA) tanker rate system. Aframax class tankers are largely used in the basins of the Black Sea, the North Sea, the Caribbean Sea, the China Sea and the Mediterranean. Non-OPEC exporting countries may require the use of Aframax tankers because the harbors and canals through which these countries export their oil are too small to accommodate very-large crude carriers (VLCC) and ultra-large crude carriers (ULCCs). Q. 303) Can u load crude oil products on a VLCC?if so what all documents/certificates u will check?X certificate of fitness. tank coating manual msds: to make sure any additional Lsa or Ffa req is to be met. Q. 304) What is a loadicator?FSC correction is incorporated in GM given by loadicator or not.? yes...ofcourse Q. 305) Why draft calculation is not done on a tanker? or Why cargo is calculated by ullage method and not by draft survey? for very obvious reasons...on tanker we are not only interested in weight of oil cargo but finding out if there is any free water in the cargo and if there is calculate it separately. draft survey cannot give amount of oil and free water (if any) separately.well people may raise points about accuracy but i believe this one would be a better answer. posted by: ajeet kumar Q. 306) Documents required on a loading and discharging port befor cargo operation.?

Q. 307) What are the Hazards associated with Wood pulp cargo? fire, sweat, wetting of cargo Q. 308) you have two containers, one without CSC plate and one Seal broken.which one can you load and why? both can be loaded. for the one without csc plate, if the controlling officer can obtain proof that the container is approved under csc convention then he can allow the container to be transported to its destination port for discharge but shouldnt be restuffed before it was plated under csc nonvention. For a container without a custom seal the port administration should be informed and it can be loaded after lodging protest and the container can be sealed onboard with appropriate record so that the same can be produced when reqired. Q. 309) what is WRF? and its explaination. WRF= weight reduction factor which is .0011 and should be reduced from the given density in vacuum to allow for the upthrust of the atmosphere.

Q. 310) what are latest ammendments of IMDG code? There are many detailed changes throughout the text of amendment 34, but for information the main changes are:Additional items in the Dangerous Goods List i) There are 12 new UN numbers going up to 3481, with explosives going up to 0508. ii) There are also 5 UN numbers which were previously not listed in the IMDG Code because they were not regulated under it, but are now shown with the observation "Not subject to the provisions of this Code but may be subject to provisions governing the transport of dangerous goods by other modes.". This could be useful when a shipment needs to be labelled as hazardous at some other stage of its journey. UN Numbers not previously listed in IMDG but have been included in Amendment 34-08

Training Appropriate training for shore-side staff involved with dangerous goods is now mandatory instead of just recommended, and may be audited by the competent authority. Persons not yet trained may only operate under the direct supervision of a trained person. See 1.3.1.1. IMDG Code e-learning is a new training tool for shore-side staff involved in Dangerous Goods handling and transport. It is designed to support cost-effective compliance for all shore-side sectors. Marine pollutant The concept of a severe marine pollutant PP is deleted; they are just designated as P. The marine pollutant 'bullet' symbol is also deleted, but a shipper will still need to declare any consignment as being a marine pollutant if it meets the criteria. There is a new section 2.9.3 describing these, and chapter 2.10 is rewritten. The new marine pollutant label is a dead tree and dead fish. IMO tank instructions The IMO tank instruction column disappears from the Dangerous Goods List because the transitional provisions on their use will have expired by the time this amendment becomes mandatory on 1/1/2010. Excepted quantities There is a new column 7b in the Dangerous Goods List for excepted quantities. These are small amounts, up to 30g or 30ml per inner package, 1kg per outer package. These are subject only to the rules of the new chapter 3.5, part 2 (classification) and some sections of 4.1 (packing) and 5.4 (documentation). They will be labelled with an 'excepted quantity' label and the class number. The dangerous goods form shall state the words "dangerous goods in excepted quantities" together with the description of the shipment. An entry E0 in column 7b indicates that a substance may not be transported in excepted quantities. Codes E1 to E5 indicate different quantity limits according to a table in chapter 3.5. The total number of excepted quantity packages in a CTU shall not exceed 1000.

Limited quantities For a substance not permitted in limited quantities, the column 7a entry "None" becomes "0". Radioactive materials of class 7 For class 7 radioactives, chapter 2.7 is completely rewritten, and there is a new chapter 1.5, 'general provisions concerning class 7'.

Q. 311) can you load two cargo with different class in one container? Yes, cargo in segregation group 'away from' can be loaded in one container with approval from Administration. Q. 312) action if the IG plant fails during discharging? 1) Stop discharge. 2) Close main deck isolation valve. 3) Close manifold. 4) Open vent v/v btwn IG deck isolation v/v n Gas pressure regulating v/v. 5) Inform terminal. Q. 313) who generates Bill Of Loading? The B/L is usually prepared by the shipper or their freight agents on the Carriers printed pro-forma n presented to the carrier for signature THE CARRIER GENERATES THE BILL OF LADING

Q. 314) HOW TO GO ABOUT LOADING A HEAVY LIFT ( 1 what is load density.2.shipper does not give u the load density of the cargo) Q. 315) DRI certificates and requirement for carriage? Q. 316) Why cert. of fittness for gas and chemical tankers only? THESE KINDS OF CARGO REQUIRE SPECIAL TYPE OF CONSTRUCTION OF TANKS,VENTING ARRANGEMENTS,LOADING/DISCHARGING ARRANGEMENTS,CONTAINTMENT ARRANGEMENTS,CARING FOR CARGO DURING TRANSIT,SLOSHING EFFECTS ON THE TANKS AND VARIOUS OTHER FACTORS.SINCE EVERY GAS AND CHEMICAL HAVE SPECIAL HAZARDS AND CHARACTERISTICS,IT IS IN DEED REQUIRED SPECIAL TYPES OF TANKS ARE REQUIRED UNLIKE FOR OIL& WHITE PRODUCTS.HENCE THE C.O.F IS REQUIRED FOR GASES AND CHEMICAL TANKER. Q. 317) Why logs carried on timber carrier only with minimum of freeboard ? logs also provide extra buoyancy. Q. 318) slop tank requirement.? The arrangements of the slop tank or combination of slop tanks shall have a capacity necessary to retain the slop generated by tank washings, oil residues and dirty ballast residues. The total capacity of the slop tank or tanks shall not be less than 3% of the oil carrying capacity of the ship, except that the Administration may accept: (i) 2% for such oil tankers where the tank washing arrangements are such that once the slop tank or tanks are charged with washing water, this water is sufficient for tank washing and, where applicable, for providing the driving fluid for eductors, without the introduction of additional water into the system; (ii) 2% where segregated ballast tanks or dedicated clean ballast tanks are provided in accordance with regulation 13 of this Annex, or where a cargo tank cleaning system using crude oil

washing is fitted in accordance with regulation 13B of this Annex. This capacity may be further reduced to 1.5% for such oil tankers where the tank washing arrangements are such that once the slop tank or tanks are charged with washing water, this water is sufficient for tank washing and, where applicable, for providing the driving fluid for eductors, without the introduction of additional water into the system; (iii) 1% for combination carriers where oil cargo is only carried in tanks with smooth walls. This capacity may be further reduced to 0.8% where the tank washing arrangements are such that once the slop tank or tanks are charged with washing water, this water is sufficient for tank washing and, where applicable, for providing the driving fluid for eductors, without the introduction of additional water into the system. New oil tankers of 70,000 tons deadweight and above shall be provided with at least two slop tanks. Q. 319) Heavy grade oil? Q. 320) What all checks prior loading container
Q. 321) Can u load container without custom plate and without CSC plate ? no, reject the container at loading port Q. 322) What is VCF ,why it is used? VCF is the volume correction factor apllied to the volume obtained after the ullaging at the ullaging temp.Since we know that all the calculation of oil is done at 15* C therefore this vcf is applied to the volume to obtain the volume of oil at 15* C. Q. 323) Why all corrections are used in draft survey ?Limitation of draft survey? Q. 324) code content.. Q. 325) Heavy lift precaution? Q. 326) What is DWT., and some calculation on deadweight ? Q. 327) Bill of Lading, what is negotiable B/L? B/L that can be transferred by its consignee to a third party by signing (endorsing) and delivering it to another party (the new consignee). The new consignee can then transfer it to another party ... and so on. To be negotiable a B/L must be written (drawn) 'To Order' of the consignee and must be clean. Any B/L that does not fulfill these two conditions is termed nonnegotiable. Q. 328) Difference between Time charter,Voyage charter, and Demise charter ? Q. 329) Chain Register and Rigging Plan? Q. 330) GRT and NRT? its formula? Q. 331) Difference between Flame arrester and Flame screen? Flame arresters are used: to stop the spread of an open fire to limit the spread of an explosive event that has occurred to protect potentially explosive mixtures from igniting to confine fire within an enclosed, controlled, or regulated location They are commonly used on: fuel storage tank vents fuel gas pipelines safety storage cabinets for paint, aerosol cans, and other flammable mixtures the exhaust system of internal combustion engines Davy lamps in coal mines overproof rum and other flammable liquors[2]. (I think its not flame screen but flame arrestor screen) Flame arrestor screen: A mechanical device installed on a storage tank or portable container nozzle designed to prevent the build up of flammable vapors and quickly extinguish a fire in the container by rapidly dissipating heat from the fire. It is made of double mesh wire and extends inside the container from the nozzle. Q. 332) Auto ignition?

Q. 336) What are special provision in IMDG code? Q. 337) what is IBC? Q. 338) explain "boil Off" & "Boil over" ? A Boilover type of fire refers to an extremely hazardous situation where a semi-enclosed oil or petrochemical fuelled fire is being attempted to be extinguished with water. This situation is caused by the relative density difference of oil/petrochemicals and water. Oil, being lighter than water, causes it to always want to be the surface layer. As water is being pumped onto the surface of the fuel (where the flames are evident) it will quickly sink below the fuel, to collect at the bottom of the container, doing little to extinguish the flames. As the temperature of the fire slowly builds, descends down through the fuel, it will eventually reach the water that has collected at the bottom of the container. The descending heatwave will have a temperature sufficient to cause the water to vaporise into steam, expanding to more than 1700 times its volume as compared to in its liquid state. The rapidly expanding (possibly superheated) steam expels the fuel upward to boilover and out of the container discharging the, still ignited, fuel onto a large and uncontrolled area outside of the container Boil off : A small amount of LNG evaporates from the tank during storage, cooling the tank and keeping the pressure inside the tank constant and the LNG at its boiling point.

Q. 348) What is IGC code ? Type of gas carrier as per IGC code.? The International Code for the Construction and Equipment of Ships Carrying Liquefied Gases in Bulk (IGC Code) applies to gas carriers constructed on or after1 July 1986. Gas carriers constructed before that date should comply with the requirements of the Code for the Construction and Equipment of Ships Carrying Liquefied Gases in Bulk or the Code for Existing Ships Carrying Liquefied Gases in Bulk.

Gas carriers are classified into three main types based on the hazardous nature of cargo: 1G : designed for most hazardous cargo 2G & 2PG: designed for lesser degree of hazard (mostly LPG and LNG) 3G : designed for least degree of hazard Q. 349) What is type 1,type2,type 3 chemical tankers? which one is having stringent criteria.? IMO Ship Type 1 is a chemical tanker intended for the transportation of products considered to present the greatest overall hazard. The quantity of cargo required to be carried in a Type 1 ship should not exceed 1,250 m3 in any one tank IMO Ship Type 2

is intended to transport products with appreciably severe environmental and safety hazards which require significant preventive measures to preclude escape of such cargo. The quantity of cargo required to be carried in a Type 2 ship should not exceed 3000 m3 in any one tank IMO Ship Type 3 is a chemical tanker intended to transport products with sufficiently severe environmental and safety hazards. These products require a moderate degree of containment to increase survival capability in a damaged condition. There is no filling restriction for chemicals assigned to Ship Type 3 Cargo Tank Location 2.6.1 Cargo tanks shall be located at the following distances inboard: Type 1 ships: from the side shell plating, not less than the transverse extent of damage specified in 2.5.1.1.2, (B/5 or 11.5m whichever is less), and from the moulded line of the bottom shell plating at centerline, not less than the vertical extent of damage specified in 2.5.1.2.3, (B/15 or 6 m whichever is less), and nowhere less than 760 mm from the shell plating. This requirement does not apply to the tanks for diluted slops arising from tank washing. .2 Type 2 ships: from the moulded line of the bottom shell plating at centerline, not less than the vertical extent of damage specified in 2.5.1.2.3, (B/15 or 6 m whichever is less), and nowhere less than 760 mm from the shell plating. This requirement does not apply to the tanks for diluted slops arising from tank washing.

.3 Type 3 ships: no requirement" Q. 350) You go to rope store in search of wire rope,you find a wire rope but tag of wire is missing, how will you find the SWL of rope.? D*D*8=SWL. D IN INCHES AND SWL IN TON. D IS THE DIA.
See the no.of strands & wire in each strand..for ex : 6x24,6x37,also measure dia of wire rope and from dia & construction you can find the SWL

Q. 351) How many grades of chains are there,which one is strongest? Ans: 3 grades,Grade 3 Q. 352) Explain Tanker Calculation procedure. Q. 353) Contents of ASTM Table & also which table is for which purpose? Q. 354) What are the test for container?what is racking stress? 1. Impact testing 2. Water resistance testing 3. Vibration testing 4. Conditioning Containers, Packages, or Packaging Components 5. Random Vibration Testing 6. Drop test 7. Bridge Impact testing Q. 355) You are on a chemical tanker & received order to load a cargo (say xyz),how you will go about loading this cargo?
Ans: first check type of cargo & whether mentioned in cert of fitness or not,if not check with class or flagstate administration whether vessel can load this particular cargo or not,if so get the new cargo endorsed in cert of fitness by flag state administration & then normal loading procedure
