Description
Brown to greenish-brown material obtained through heating and drying of oily fish. Moisture content: greater than 5% but not exceeding 12%, by mass. Strong odour may affect other cargo.
Hazard
Liable to heat spontaneously unless has low fat content or effectively anti-oxidant treated. Liable to cause oxygen depletion in cargo space.
Stowage and Segregation
Segregation as required for class 4.2 materials.
Hold Cleanliness
Clean and dry as relevant to the hazards of the cargo.
Weather Precautions
This cargo shall be kept as dry as practicable. This cargo shall not be handled during precipitation. During handling of this cargo, all non-working hatches of the cargo spaces into which this cargo is loaded, or to be loaded, shall be closed.

The cargo shall not be accepted for loading when the temperature of the cargo exceeds 35°C or 5°C above the ambient temperature, whichever is higher. The cargo may be loaded without weathering/ curing prior to loading.
Precautions
1 Stabilization of fish meal shall be achieved to prevent spontaneous combustion by the effective application of ethoxyquin or BHT (butylated hydroxytoluene) or tocopherols at the time of production. The said application shall occur within 12 months prior to shipment. Fish scrap or fish meal shall contain remnant measurable anti-oxidant levels of at least 100 ppm (mg/kg) of ethoxyquin, or 100 ppm (mg/kg) of BHT or 250 ppm (mg/kg) of tocopherol at the time of shipment.
Ventilation
Surface ventilation, either natural or mechanical, shall be conducted during the voyage, as necessary, for the cargo spaces carrying this cargo. If the temperature of the cargo exceeds 55°C and continues to increase, ventilation to the cargo space shall be stopped. If self-heating continues, then carbon dioxide or inert gas shall be introduced to the cargo spaces.
Carriage
This cargo shall be kept as cool and dry as reasonably practicable. The temperature of this cargo shall be measured at eight-hour intervals during the voyage. The results of measurements shall be recorded and kept on board.
Discharge
No special requirements.
