Bulk Carrier Safety

The document discusses recommendations for improving bulk carrier safety, including strengthening bulkheads and double bottoms on new ships to withstand hold flooding. For existing ships, structural strengthening or loading restrictions may be required, and any restrictions must be marked by a triangle on the hull. An enhanced survey program and loading monitoring equipment are also recommended to detect weaknesses or stresses.

the deck line.

• Any restrictions imposed on the carriage of solid bulk


cargoes having a density of 1,780
kg/m3 and above shall be permanently marked on the
