Dear Popeye
Carriage of chemicals in bulk is covered by regulations in SOLAS Chapter VII -
Carriage of dangerous goods and MARPOL Annex II - Regulations for the Control
of Pollution by Noxious Liquid Substances in Bulk.
Both Conventions require chemical tankers built after 1 July 1986 to comply
with the International Code for the Construction and Equipment of Ships
carrying Dangerous Chemicals in Bulk (IBC Code).
The IBC Code provides an international standard for the safe carriage by sea of
dangerous and noxious liquid chemicals in bulk. To minimize the risks to ships,
their crews and the environment, the Code prescribes the design and
construction standards of ships and the equipment they should carry, with due
regard to the nature of the products involved. In December 1985, by resolution
MEPC.19(22), the Code was extended to cover marine pollution aspects and
applies to ships built after 1 July 1986.
In October 2004, IMO adopted revised MARPOL Annex II Regulations for the
control of pollution by noxious liquid substances in bulk. This incorporates a
four-category categorization system for noxious and liquid substances and it
entered into force on 1 January 2007.
Consequential amendments to the International Bulk Chemical Code (IBC Code)
were also adopted in October 2004, reflecting the changes to MARPOL Annex II.
The amendments incorporate revisions to the categorization of certain products
relating to their properties as potential marine pollutants as well as
revisions to ship type and carriage requirements following their evaluation by
the Evaluation of Hazardous Substances Working Group.
Ships constructed after 1986 carrying substances identified in chapter 17 of
the IBC Code must follow the requirements for design, construction, equipment
and operation of ships contained in the Code.
Ships subject to the Code shall be designed to one of the following standards:
A type 1 ship is a chemical tanker intended to transport chapter 17 products
with very severe environmental and safety hazards which require maximum
preventive measures to preclude an escape of such cargo.
A type 2 ship is a chemical tanker intended to transport chapter 17 products
with appreciably severe environmental and safety hazards which require
significant preventive measures to preclude an escape of such cargo.
A type 3 ship is a chemical tanker intended to transport chapter 17 products
with sufficiently severe environmental and safety hazards which require a
moderate degree of containment to increase survival capability in a damaged
condition.
