Loading
Trim in accordance with the relevant provisions required under sections 4 and 5 of IMSBC Code. Solvent extracted cargo shall only be accepted for loading when the cargo is substantially free from flammable solvent. Before shipment, solvent extracted cargoes shall be properly aged; the duration of ageing required varies with the oil content. This cargo shall only be accepted for loading when the temperature of the cargo is not higher than the ambient temperature plus 10°C, or 55°C, whichever is lower. All sources of ignition shall be considered and avoided to prevent possible dust explosions. Blower equipment shall be earthed. Piping shall be electrically continuous or earthed. Trim in accordance with the relevant provisions required under sections 4 and 5 of IMSBC Code. In the case of seed cakes, a certificate from a person recognized by the competent authority of the country of shipment shall be provided by the shipper, prior to loading, stating that the requirements for exclusion from either the schedule for SEED CAKE UN 1386 (b) or UN 2217, whichever is applicable, are met as set out in those schedules and that the material does not meet the MHB (SH) criteria specified in 9.2.3.3. Solvent extracted cargo shall only be accepted for loading when the cargo is substantially free from flammable solvent. Before shipment, solvent extracted cargoes shall be properly aged; the duration of ageing required varies with the oil content.
Precautions
Entry of personnel into cargo spaces for this cargo shall not be permitted until tests have been carried out and it has been established that the oxygen content has been restored to a normal level.* Persons who may be exposed to the dust of the cargo shall wear dust filter masks, protective eyewear and protective clothing, as necessary. The temperature of this cargo shall be measured regularly at a number of depths in the cargo spaces and recorded during the voyage. If the temperature of the cargo reaches 55°C and continues to increase, ventilation for the cargo shall be stopped. If self-heating continues, then carbon dioxide or inert gas shall be introduced into the cargo space. Notwithstanding the previous requirement, in the case of solvent extracted cargoes, the use of carbon dioxide or inert gas shall be withheld until fire is apparent. Electrical circuits for equipment in cargo spaces which are unsuitable for use in an explosive atmosphere shall be isolated by removal of links in the system other than fuses. Spark-arresting screens shall be fitted to ventilators to the cargo spaces containing this cargo. Entry of personnel into cargo spaces for this cargo shall not be permitted until tests have been carried out and it has been established that the oxygen content has been restored to a normal level.* Persons who may be exposed to the dust of the cargo shall wear dust filter masks, protective eyewear and protective clothing, as necessary.
Ventilation
Surface ventilation either natural or mechanical shall be conducted, as necessary, for removing any residual solvent vapour. To prevent self-heating of the cargo, caution is required when using mechanical ventilation. No special requirements.
Carriage
Hatches of the cargo spaces carrying this cargo shall be weathertight to prevent the ingress of water. Hatches of the cargo spaces carrying this cargo shall be weathertight to prevent the ingress of water.
