It was reported at the time that between 2010 and 2013 liquefaction casualties cost the marine insurance industry over USD 100 million. Since first publishing this booklet there has been a continued focus on such cargoes and revisions of international conventions to further safeguard against casualties. Unfortunately, there has continued to be serious incidents where the cause has been cargo shift or liquefaction. Intercargo has kindly supplied the Club with updated statistics relating to bulk carrier casualties and between 2008 and 2017 a total of 53 bulk carriers over 10,000 deadweight tons have been identified as total losses, 9 of which have identified cargo failures as a cause. Sadly these losses also accounted for 101 lives lost over the same period.
