过去十年中，北英保赔协会接到多起在马来西亚装载散装粘土随后航程中在货舱内液化的事故。
最近XIN HONG轮的事故提醒我们，与粘土货物相关的风险一直都在。此次事故中，货物装载于马来西亚的Lumut。货主申报该货物为“ball clay”，这不是国际海事固体散装货物章程（IMSBC Code）中认可的散货运输名称或是直称的“clay”。

Caution on Malaysian Clay Cargoes
The last decade has seen several reported instances where bulk clay cargoes loaded in Malaysia liquefied in the holds of the carrying vessel during the voyage.
The recent loss of the XIN HONG serves as a reminder that the risks associated with clay cargoes remain.
In the known incidents, the cargoes were loaded at Lumut, Malaysia. They were declared by the shipper as either ‘ball clay’ (which is not a recognised bulk cargo shipping name in the IMSBC Code) or simply ‘clay’.
