4、dition of section 1 of the Manual on Chemical Pollution. For the purpose of this Manual, hazardous materials (HNS) include, but are not limited to: noxious liquid substances, described under Annex I1 of MARPOL 73/78 and the International Bulk Chemical Code IBC Code); dangerous goods, described in th

5、e International Maritime Dangerous Goods Code IMDG Code); gases regulated under the International Gas Carrier Code IGC Code); and solid cargoes covered by the Code of Safe Practice of Solid Bulk Cargoes BC Code). It provides guidance to Governments on ways of assessing hazards associated with spilla

6、ges of hazardous and noxious substances and of setting up response organizations. Further, it describes safe operational practice in response. The present section of this Manual does not deal with the recovery of packages lost during incidents at sea, nor with problems particular to radioactive and

7、explosive substances. These matters are covered in section 2 of the Manual: Search and Recovery of Packaged Goods Lost at Sea. Problems related to oil pollution casualties and related information are specifically addressed in the Manual on Oil Pollution (sections I to VI). iii Contents Page Introduc

However, for the purpose of this M

14、anual, this definition excludes oil, as oil-related pollution matters are dealt with in other IMO technical manuals. In recent years, there has been a rapid growth in the transport and storage of HNS. If allowed to escape, these materials can present a danger to a ships crew, the vessel, coastal pop

15、ulations and/or the environment. Accordingly, public concern over these materials has grown, and both Governments and industry have taken steps to address and respond to such incidents. Marine spills involving HNS are not as frequent as oil spills, and may receive little publicity due to their less

16、visible nature. However, on a global basis, marine spills involving HNS are not rare. In fact, a world- wide survey of marine HNS emergencies* (see table 1) showed that: 0 there is a wide range of cargoes which need to be considered as potential threats; 0 most accidents involved mainly two classes

17、of HNS: flammable liquids and corrosive materials; 0 one to two major HNS accidents can be expected each year: 0 a wide variety of ship types were associated with HNS accidents; and HNS accidents were almost equally divided between “bulk and “packaged goods” shipments. 0 There is no doubt that if a

18、spill involving HNS is to be handled successfully and damage minimized, careful planning is essential. Many of the factors which need to be taken into account when preparing for HNS events, including the drawing up of chemical-spill plans, are similar to those required for oil spills. A number of co

19、untries have adapted their oil spill contingency plans to address chemical spill incidents. In addition to using the oil spill planning framework, these countries have also tended to rely on the same basic organizational arrangements in order to avoid creating two separate response structures. Given

20、 the wide range of chemicals and their diverse hazards and properties, expertise from the chemical industry may be required to ensure that safe and practical procedures are followed. * Brian Mansfield, “Can Overboard”, Technical Seminar on Chemical Spills, 1994. 1 Chapter 1 Table 1: Examples of acci

25、gh elements of preparedness and response for oil and HNS are similar in the recommended organizational and administrative structures, there are some differences from a technical standpoint in terms of protective and safety measures and pollution response equipment. In the latter case, these differen

26、ces are due to a number of I reasons: 0 oil normally floats in viscous layers; this behaviour is valid only for a minor proportion of HNS; oil spills are highly visible; in many cases spills involving HNS are not so easy to see: 0 Introduction 0 oil spill response technology is well developed: this

27、is not the case for HNS: skimming of oil from the water surface can be carried out with reasonable success: this is often not always feasible for HNS. This Manual is designed to assist national and local response organizations in developing effective spill response procedures under the unique condit

28、ions imposed by the marine environment and, more specifically, to be used by the following groups: decision-makers from governmental agencies or private industry: local response managers lacking a maritime background, but who are involved with emergency personnel and are familiar with response proce

29、dures for HNS: ship personnel, who will need to co-ordinate with shore- based response teams in case of emergencies: and port authorities or terminal managers, who need guidance in integrating shore-based response with shipboard re- sponse.

There are many ship types which carry HNS. These include: dry bulk carriers, which carry solid bulk c

33、argoes such as grain, fishmeal, ores and semi-manufactured products: oil/bulk/ore carriers or Combination carriers, which are multi-purpose carriers of bulk cargoes, either in liquid or solid form, and are designed to avoid having to make the return voyage in ballast; containerships, which are speci

34、alized carriers that transport packaged goods in containers and are mainly designed for general dry cargo (box-type), although specialized contain- ers can take solids (e.g., powder) or liquid chemicals in portable (ISO) tanks: general cargo ships, which usually carry cargo in relatively small consi

35、gnments (e.g., crates, boxes, drums or sacks), all placed in close proximity in several large holds: ro-ro vessels, which are designed with facilities for quick loading and discharging, with cargoes being moved on and off using road trailers or rail tank cars: chemical carriers, which are a speciali

36、zed class of tankers designed to carry liquid chemicals and are referred to as “chemical carriers”, “product tankers”, or “parcel tankers”; and gas carriers, which carry liquefied gas cargoes under pressure, under reduced temperature conditions, or both. These liquefied cargoes will evaporate rapidi

37、y when exposed to ambient pressure and temperature. 2.2 Principal conventions of the International Maritime Organization (IMO) The two most important international conventions covering the sea transport of HNS in bulk and in package form are: the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Se

38、a (SOLAS), 1974, as amended (see SOLAS, chapter VII): 5 Chapter 2 0 the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships, 1973, as modified by the Protocol of 1978 relating thereto (MARPOL 73/78), as amended (see MARPOL, Annexes I1 and 111). 2.3 HNS in bulk Bulk HNS cargoes are th

39、ose loaded without packaging directly into cargo tanks or holds of ships. 2.3.1 Bulk liquid HNS Chemical tankers vary in size from about 400 m3 to 40,000 m3 capacity, with tank sizes ranging from about 70 m3 up to 3,000 m3 for specialized cargoes. Some of these ships are dedicated to particular prod

40、ucts or routes, but most of them carry a wide range of chemicals having differing properties and hazards.

41、ulk are set out in IMOs Code for the Construction and Equipment of Ships Carrying Dangerous Chemicals in Bulk (BCH Code) and the International Code for the Construction and Equipment of Ships Carrying Dangerous Chemicals in Bulk (IBC Code). Operational safety procedures are set out in the Tanker Saf

42、ety Guide (Chemicals) of the International Chamber of Shipping (ICS). Gas carriers vary in size up to 135,000 m3 capacity. These ships carry gas cargoes in liquefied form through the application of reduced temperatures, increased pressures, or a combination of both. The largest ships are used for th

43、e liquefied natural gas (LNG) trades, while the other main products include propane, butane, ammonia and vinyl chloride, which are carried in LPG carriers.

44、workfor the carriage of HNS at sea Ships designed to carry liquefied gases in bulk are regulated by IMOs International Code for the Construction and Equipment of Ships Carrying Liquefied Gases in Bulk (IGC Code), which contains provisions for the construction and equipment of gas carriers built afte

45、r mid- 1986. The Tanker Safety Guide (Liquefied Gas) published by the ICS contains operational safety procedures and complements the requirements set out in the IGC Code. For gas carriers built before 1986, there are two other gas codes: IMOs Code for the Construction and Equipment of Ships Carrying

46、 Liquefied Gases in Bulk (Gas Carrier Code) covers ships built between 1976 and 1986; the Code for Existing Ships Carrying Liquefied Gases in Bulk covers ships built before 1976. Whereas the Codes dealing with gas carriers and chemical tankers are mandatory under SOLAS and h4ARPOL for ships built af

47、ter 1986, older ships should comply with earlier codes. 2.3.2 Bulk solid HNS The hazards associated with shipment of solid bulk products include: 0 a structural damage due to improper distribution of the cargo; loss or reduction of stability during the voyage, either due to a shift of cargo, or to t

48、he cargo liquefying under combined factors of vibration and motion of the ship; and 0 chemical reactions such as the emission of toxic or explosive gases. IMOs Code of Safe Practice for Solid Bulk Cargoes (BC Code) highlights the dangers associated with the shipment of certain types of bulk cargoes,

49、 lists typical products which are shipped and gives advice on their properties. COfF PH ;I PH COFF Figure 2.3: Schematic diagram of a bulk carrier B 7 Chapter 2 The various IMO codes for the carriage of bulk HNS can be used to respond effectively to incidents. Sections of the codes contain details on chemical hazards, pollution category, etc. These are vital for an effective response, since a hazard evaluation of the product in question can be obtained by consulting the relevant sections.
