A guide to bulk carrier operations: an NI webinar on 27.8.20
A Nautical Institute webinar
11:00 BST (UK time) on Thursday, 27 August 2020
Bulk carriers are the workhorses of international maritime trade. Those responsible for operating them are required to understand and manage significant risks. Cargoes can deplete oxygen, catch fire, explode, corrode holds or simply deteriorate. At terminals, ships may be pressurised to accept cargoes that are too hot or too wet, which could endanger vessel and crew.
With the support of INTERCARGO and RightShip, The Nautical Institute has responded by publishing A Guide To Bulk Carrier Operations. This highly practical book draws on the expertise of more than 20 contributing authors and takes the reader through the essentials at each stage of the voyage. Subjects covered include…
- liquefaction and oxygen-depletion
- strength and stability, enclosed spaces and deballasting
- charterparties, legislation and draught surveys
- spontaneous combustion, fumigation and coal fires
