LOADING, OR SAILING AFTER PARTIAL DISCHARGE, OF BULK GRAIN

Marine Orders Part 33 (Cargo and Cargo Handling - Grain) This document consists of: Part A - Loading bulk grain or sailing after partial discharge of bulk grain - Notice of Intention; and, Part B - Loading bulk grain or sailing after partial discharge of bulk grain - Stability Calculations

GENERAL
Chapter VI of the SOLAS 1974 Convention, as amended, and Australian legislation (Marine Orders Part 33 Cargo and Cargo Handling Grain) require that ships intending to carry grain cargoes in bulk from Australian ports may be requested to demonstrate compliance with the International Grain Code. Part A provides the means by which the Australian Maritime Safety Authority will assess whether the Master will be required to demonstrate compliance with the stability requirements of the Code to an attending AMSA Surveyor prior to loading his ship. Part B is required to be completed prior to loading grain on all vessels and for vessels sailing after part discharge, 24hrs prior to the expected departure time. The completed form B is required to be held on board and made available to AMSA on request. SOLAS 1974 requires the cargo shipper to provide the Master or his representative with appropriate information on the cargo. Beyond this it is the Masters responsibility to ensure the proper stowage of the cargo in accordance with Marine Orders Part 33.

INSTRUCTIONS TO MASTERS
In the case of loading, a completed Part- A Notice of Intention is required to be submitted to AMSA at least 72 hours prior to the vessels proposed commencement of loading. If an inspection is deemed to be necessary prior to the commencement of loading AMSA will notify the Master/Agent accordingly. In the case of intending to sail after partial discharge, a completed Part A Notice of Intention is required to be submitted to AMSA at least 24 hours prior to the anticipated time of sailing. The Master or Agent is required to submit the form to the nearest AMSA office of the port at which grain is to be loaded or partially discharged (see over). A separate form is required to be submitted for each successive port the master may lodge all the notifications together for each port to the relevant office prior to the first port of call or alternatively, individually to each appropriate office. Strict adherence to the layout of this form is not necessary as long as the information required by it can be provided by alternate means. Part B Stability Calculations is required to be completed prior to commencement of loading, or if the vessel is sailing after partial discharge, prior to such discharge. Part B is required to be made available to an AMSA Surveyor on request. A new Part- A is required to be submitted to AMSA if there is any significant change in the loading plan and a new Part B will be required to be completed and available on board. NOTES AMSA applies the following provisions when assessing compliance with the Code: 1. The Code requires all compartments in which grain is stowed to be either filled (trimmed or untrimmed) or partly filled (trimmed only). AMSA does not accept partly filled compartments untrimmed, even if data for these is approved by the flag State Administration, as they are not provided for in the Code. 2. AMSA cannot accept a compartment as being filled if the average ullage at the coaming exceeds the minimum required to accommodate the structure of hatch covers or 100mm, whichever is greater. 3. Untrimmed moments may only be used for filled compartments with the ends untrimmed. 4. (NB: Some Australian grain loading terminals lack the facility to adequately trim the ends of filled compartments and Masters must check the facilities at their load ports if they consider they need to trim the ends of any compartments in order to meet the required stability criteria). 5. In partly filled compartments AMSA accepts grain surfaces in which the height between the highest peaks and the lowest troughs in the compartment is not more than 1.0m as being level within the meaning of the Code and therefore trimmed to an acceptable level. 6. It is the responsibility of the Master to ensure that the cargo is trimmed as required by the Code - AMSA will not determine the method by which this is achieved. 7 . Ship on voyages solely within the Spencer Gulf, St Vincents Gulf or Port Phillip Bay should refer to the Appendix of Marine Orders Part 33, as exemptions apply to certain voyages.
