Year: 2025 Language: English Author: NorthStandard Genre: Other Edition: 22 January 2025 Format: PDF Quality: eBook Pages count: 10 Description: Briefing on Carriage of Bagged Agricultural Cargoes. Agricultural cargoes include crops and commodities such as wheat, rice, oilseeds and nuts. One of the largest exported agricultural cargoes shipped globally in bags is rice. Agricultural cargoes are hygroscopic, meaning that they have a moisture content that can interact with the air. If the air in the cargo hold has high relative humidity in comparison with the moisture content of the cargo, then the cargo will absorb moisture from the air. Conversely, if the air has low relative humidity in comparison to the moisture content of the cargo, then the cargo will release moisture to the air. This briefing serves to assist members with the carriage of bagged hygroscopic cargoes by discussing the various risks associated with them. Understanding these risks will allow members to employ best practice both operationally and pre-fixture to avoid the risk of claims.
