关于运输易液化货物的风险,近年来协会向会员发布了各种通函、新闻警告和防损公告。
以前重点关注的是印度和巴西的铁矿粉,以及菲律宾和印尼的镍矿。近期,协会强调了有关运输塞拉利昂铁矿粉的问题。
在协会最近遇到的案件中,印尼发货人所宣载的货物种类为C类铁矿(即货物不会液化),但是对装运货物的样本进行测试之后,证明这批货物应定为A类货物(即若水分含量超过适运水分限量TML,货物易液化)。

Liquefaction Risks – Iron Ore from Indonesia
Members will be aware of the dangers associated with the carriage of cargoes that can liquefy from the various Circulars, News Alerts and Stop Loss articles issued by the Club over recent years.
The principal concern has been in respect of the carriage of iron ore fines from India and Brazil as well as nickel ore from the Philippines and Indonesia. More recently, the Club has highlighted problems associated with the carriage of iron ore fines from Sierra Leone.
The Club now has recent experience of shippers in Indonesia presenting cargo declarations which describe cargo as Group C iron ore (ie a cargo that is not liable to liquefy) when tests conducted upon samples of the cargo presented for loading firmly indicated that it was more accurately to be designated as a Group A cargo (ie a cargo liable to liquefy if the moisture content exceeds the Transportable Moisture Limit (TML)).
