Abstract

The solid bulk cargo transportation plays an important role in the carriage of goods by sea. Bulk cargo is any cargo that is transported in a loose form without any packaging in large quantities. Solid bulk cargo includes grain, ore, coal etc. Solid bulk cargo has some inherit natures such as having high density, liable to raise dust, liable to frost, liable to emit harmful gases, liable to liquefy, possessing chemical hazards. Solid bulk cargo is usually carried by bulk carriers which are very big in displacement and have no cargo on deck. Particular caution should be taken to ensure safe transportation of solid bulk cargo. Some dangers exist in the solid bulk cargo transporting process. The risk existing in the transportation of solid bulk cargo and its countermeasures are discussed in this paper.
