Year: 2026 Language: English Author: Britannia P&I Club Genre: Guidance Notes Publisher: Britannia P&I Club Edition: April, 2026 Format: PDF Quality: eBook Pages count: 5 Description: Loss Prevention Guidance | Carriage of Cement. Cement is carried on board ships either in bulk or in bags. Bulk cement is transported on dedicated cement carriers or on bulk carriers. Dedicated cement carriers are loaded by connecting the shoreside manifold to the ship’s pneumatic system via flexible hoses, transferring cement from shore silos into the cargo holds. During discharge, a closedsystem self-unloader is used, in which compressed air fluidises the cement and the cargo is then discharged into the shore pipeline using a powerful vacuum created by a compressor. This system effectively addresses issues related to dust generation and cement hardening. However, loading cement on conventional bulk carriers, whether in bulk or in bags, presents significant operational challenges.
