《IMSBC规则》修正案将于2019年1月1日生效。本文中，Brookes Bell LLP的Penelope Cooke解释了即将生效的修正案会对载运煤类货物的船舶产生何等影响。有关《IMSBC规则》修正案的全部详情，请参阅国际海事组织MSC.426(98)号决议。
《国际海运固体散货(IMSBC)规则》中，将煤描述为一种由非晶形碳和碳氢化合物组成的天然固体可燃物质。尽管煤以易燃性和自热性闻名，然而某些煤类货物也有易于液化的特点。所有煤类货物都具有B组化学特性，例如可能发生自热或排放甲烷；除此之外，即将生效的《IMSBC规则》修正案中提到了煤类货物被认定为A组（即易于液化）的标准。因此，煤类货物有可能需要取得与其他A组货物（例如精矿、镍矿石和铁矿粉）相同的TML证书和含水量证书。
