Year: 2003 Language: english Author: MAIB Genre: Guide Publisher: MAIB Edition: 1 Format: PDF Quality: eBook Pages count: 40 Description: A number of marine accidents involving timber deck cargoes have been reported to the MAIB since the branch was set up in 1989. These accidents did not give cause for particular concern until 2002, when several occurred in quick succession. A trend appeared to be developing and a study into the subject was initiated. Eight accidents that involved timber deck cargoes, and which came to the attention of the MAIB in the years 2001 and 2002, have been examined and a short summary of each is contained in Section 2. All the cases involved vessels loaded with sawn timber travelling from a Baltic or north Russian port. The vessels were destined for ports in Great Britain or Ireland, or were passing Britain en route to the Mediterranean. All of the accidents occurred in heavy weather and most during the autumn. Each case involved a transverse shift of the timber deck cargo; there is no evidence that longitudinal movement of timber cargo posed a problem. In Section 3, the common causal factors and safety issues are identified, analysed and discussed. The conclusions and recommendations arising from the study are included in Section 4.
