The 2020 edition of the International Maritime Solid Bulk Cargoes Code (IMSBC Code) has an entry for CHROMITE ORE which has a given description of “Concentrates or lumpy, dark grey in colour”.
It is listed as a Group C cargo only, which would mean that the cargo does not liquefy. However, a Member’s vessel loading cargo described as “chrome ore concentrate” in Turkey recently has shown that this cargo may liquefy. The Master raised concerns as, although the Cargo Declaration gave the cargo as Group C, it also showed TML / moisture content percentages and can testing by the Chief Officer showed moisture.

铬精矿运输
2020年版《国际海运固体散装货物规则》(IMSBC Code)有一项关于铬矿的条目，其中给出了“精矿或深灰色块状”的描述。
铬矿被分在C组，这表明该货物不易液化。然而，有会员的船舶最近在土耳其装载的该货物被描述为“铬精矿”并显示该货物可能易液化。这引起了船长的关注，尽管报关单将该货物列入C组，但还是标注了适运水分极限/含水量百分比，以及大副在摔罐测试中显示的含水量。
