近期散货船装载集装箱的咨询日益增多，为支持客户的需求，BV出版了散货船装载集装箱的指南，里面提到了一些注意的问题，供大家参考。
Bureau Veritas has developed in-depth technical guidance to provide safe and practical pathways for operators carrying containerized cargo in bulk carriers.
Bureau Veritas(BV), a world leader in testing, inspection, and certification (TIC), hasdeveloped a formalized approach to support the safe carriage of containers inbulk carriers.
BV’s Guidance for Studying and Preparing a Bulk Carrier for the Carriage of Containers provides operators with pathways based on analysis and a thorough understanding of safety, regulatory and operational requirements. The guidance was developed by technical experts based in the Bureau Veritas Piraeus office, in Greece, in collaboration with the Technical Directorate in Paris.
PAILLETTE PALAIOLOGOU Vice President for the Hellenic, Black Sea & Adriatic Zone Bureau Veritas M&O
“We have significant experience and knowledge of bulk carrier design, classification and operations across BV and particularly here in Greece, where we have numerous clients inthe dry cargo market. Additionally, our class rules for container lashing andour own associated lashing software are highly sophisticated. The combination of bulker and boxship capability and understanding has enabled our teams torapidly provide a framework to meet market requirements as demand emerges for bulkers to be able to carry boxes.”
The guidance outlines two main pathways for stowing containers in holds, either as a ‘block’ of lashed cargo without retrofitting of special container securing fittings, or as more conventional stacks of containers, in which case such equipment may need to be fitted permanently or temporarily.
The IMO Code of Safe Practice for Cargo Stowage and Securing(CSS Code) for ships that are equipped with a Cargo Securing Manual, provides a key reference point in its Annex 1 “Safe stowage and securing of containers on deck of ships which are not specially designed and fitted for the purpose of carrying containers” as well as the calculation methods for forces acting on cargo units and the efficiency of securing arrangements.
However, the fact that bulk carriers are “not specially designed and fitted for the purpose of carrying containers”, combined with the potential need to maximize the intake of containers, may raise concerns related to the integrity of the vessel’s structure and the cargo itself, as well as the safety of the crew and the stevedores.
Paillette Palaiologou added: ‘In many ways, we are goingback to the future, as general cargo and multi-purpose ships have always beenable to carry containers. In the context of today’s market demands, thecapacity to move containers in bulk carriers is a key advantage. With ourguidance, we wish to ensure that modern analysis tools and techniques can beapplied to support safety as well as modern operational efficiency.’
