Code of Safe Practice for Cargo Stowage and Securing, 2003 Edition

The Code of Safe Practice for Cargo Stowage and Securing was adopted by the Assembly of IMO at its seventeenth regular session (November 1991) by resolution A.714(17). The Assembly recommended that Governments implement the Code at the earliest possible opportunity and requested the MSC to keep it under review and amend it as necessary. This has been done.

The first major changes to the Code were the amendments to MSC/Circ.664, adopted in December 1994, and MSC/Circ.691, adopted in May 1995, which were published as the 1994/1995 Amendments to the Code of Safe Practice for Cargo Stowage and Securing, introducing annex 13, which has been incorporated into this consolidated edition.

The present edition also includes amendments to annex 12, on safe stowage and securing of unit loads, issued as MSC/Circ.740 in June 1996, and amendments adopted by the MSC in May 2002, issued as MSC/Circ.1026, which saw significant changes in the contents of annex 13. Circular 1026 also includes an extension on the scope of application recommending all lashing assemblies to be fixed to strong or fixed points, a new table on friction coefficients and new texts on an advanced calculation method and an alternative method on balance of forces.

The book contains, as appendices, various texts which have been issued by the Organization and are considered relevant to cargo stowage and securing.

SOLAS - Consolidated Edition, 2004
Description: INTERNATIONAL CONVENTION OF THE SAFETY OF LIFE AT SEA, 1974, as amended.

Of all the international conventions dealing with maritime safety, the most important is the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea, better known as SOLAS, which covers a wide range of measures designed to improve the safety of shipping.

The Convention is also one of the oldest of its kind: the first version was adopted in 1914 following the sinking of the Titanic with the loss of more than 1,500 lives. Since then there have been four more versions of SOLAS. The present version was adopted in 1974 and entered into force in 1980.

In order to provide an easy reference to all SOLAS requirements applicable from 1 July 2004, this edition presents a consolidated text of the SOLAS Convention, its Protocols of 1978 and 1988 and all amendments in effect from that date. The 2000 amendments (affecting chapters II-1, II-2, III and V and some of the certificates), the 2001 amendment (affecting chapter VII) and the 2002 amendments (affecting chapters II-1, II-2, III, IV, V, VI, VII, and XII and dividing chapter XI into XI-1 ?Special measures to enhance maritime safety? and XI-2 ?Special measures to enhance maritime security?) have been incorporated into the previous consolidated edition to produce this new one.

The new edition also includes forms of the safety certificates relating to the Convention and the text of regulation II-1/12-2. This regulation was deleted from the consolidated text of the Convention by the amendments that were adopted in December 2002, but oil tankers of 500 gross tonnage and over that are constructed on or after 1 October 1994 and before 1 January 2005 must comply with its provisions.

International Ship & Port Facility Security (ISPS) Code, 2003

The International Ship and Port Facility Security Code (ISPS Code) was adopted by a Conference of Contracting Governments to the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea, 1974, convened in London from 9 to 13 December 2002.

The Code aims, among other things, to establish an international framework for co-operation between Contracting Governments, Government agencies, local administrations and the shipping and port industries to detect security threats and take preventive measures against security incidents affecting ships or port facilities used in international trade and to establish relevant roles and responsibilities at the national and international level. These objectives are to be achieved by the designation of appropriate personnel on each ship, in each port facility and in each ship owning company to make assessments and to put into effect the security plans that will be approved for each ship and port facility.

The Conference also adopted several related resolutions and amendments to chapters V and XI (now divided into chapters XI-1 and XI-2) of the 1974 SOLAS Convention, as amended. Under the new chapter XI-2, which provides the umbrella regulations, the ISPS Code will become mandatory on 1 July 2004.

The Code is divided into two parts. Part A presents mandatory requirements, part B recommendatory guidance regarding the provisions of chapter XI-2 of the Convention and part A of the Code.

This publication includes the ISPS Code, relevant amendments to the SOLAS Convention and other resolutions of the Conference relating to work that must be completed before the Code can be implemented in 2004, revision of the Code, technical co-operation and co-operative work with the International Labour Organization and the World Customs Organization.

Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS) - First Revised Edition

The Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS) focuses on the classification of chemicals by the types of hazards that they present. It also proposes standard hazard communication elements such as labels and safety data sheets. This publication aims at ensuring that information on physical hazards and acute toxicity from chemicals is made available, in order to enhance the protection of human health and the environment during the handling, transport, and use, of these chemicals. The GHS also provides a basis for harmonization of rules and regulations on chemicals at national, regional and world-wide level, an important factor for trade facilitation. This publication is extremely useful for national and regional governments as well as for those in industries that will ultimately implement the requirements that have been adopted.

  Storck Guide for Stowage & Segregation to the IMDG Code - Amendment 33

Dangerous goods in deep sea shipping always have to be loaded according to the safety rules for stowage and segregation of the IMDG Code. This is easy to stipulate but hard to do. The special information on the relationship of different hazard classes in respect to their stowage and segregation has to be searched for in several tables of the IMDG Code. Checking several UN numbers against each other is most laborious and time-consuming.

Using the Storck Guide Stowage & Segregation to IMDG Code - this work is done in just a fraction of this time while creating safer transport. Classwise it shows the general stowage with dangerous substances of the other classes plus all special segregation requirements for single substances of each class.

The Storck Guide covers the stowage and segregation rules for container ships, conventional cargo and ro/ro ships as well as barge transport. There are indications on the chemical stability of certain chemicals with their temperature control levels. The guide can be applied to bulk chemicals, bulk packagings, IBCs, large packagings and waste transports. The IMO Security Provisions also have been incorporated. For 20 years the Storck Guide serves ship planners, cargo officers, surveyors and inspectors as well as container packers and terminal operators all over the world as a valuable tool in their daily work for correctly stowing and segregating dangerous goods.

The 20th edition implements Amendment 33-06 of the IMDG Code, which will enter into force on 1st January 2008, but may be applied voluntarily as of 1st January 2007.
