Year: 2008 Language: english Author: Charles Bliault, Hermann Kaps Genre: Guide Publisher: North P&I Club Edition: 1st (electronic version) ISBN: 9780955825705 Format: PDF Quality: eBook Pages count: 33 Description: Due to the size and weight of pipes, they tend to be carried on the decks of cargo ships rather than in the holds. This exposes ship owners to considerably higher risk of damage and loss claims. This publication provides comprehensive guidance on the stowage of pipe cargoes, in line with applicable IMO regulations. This guide helps to prevent inadequate or inappropriate pipe stowage and securing, stressing the importance of regularly tending to securing arrangements during a voyage. Worked examples show how all three securing methods can be properly verified using the advanced calculation method from the IMO Code of Safe Practice for Cargo Stowage and Securing. There have been a number of losses or part losses over the last few years of blocks of pipes stowed on deck, principally on the hatch covers. Much consideration has been given to the reasons for those losses and ways by which such stowage may be adequately secured for the rigours of an ocean voyage. The losses have resulted from one or a combination of the following: • Inadequacy of securing arrangements • inappropriate combination of securing systems • severely adverse weather and sea conditions. Before looking at the various technical aspects associated with securing a cargo of deck stowed pipes, the composition and vulnerabilities of the cargo should be studied. Large diameter pipes shipped by sea on deck are, in most cases, not simply pieces of break bulk but are highly sensitive and valuable items. :
