波罗的海国际航运公会(BIMCO)出台行业标准租约条款,解决装载易液化固体散装货物存在的潜在危险问题。
该条款的主要特征是,要求租家向船东提供托运人出具的货物含水量不超过适运水分限量的书面证明。根据该条款,船东可以在装载前自己进行货样测试,船长可以拒绝接受货物。(若货物已装载,船长可以拒绝开航)
您可以从BIMCO的网站 www.bimco.org 免费下载该条款。本文附件为BIMCO向其会员发布的有关易液化固体散装货物的特别通函,其中附有该条款内容,供您参考。

New BIMCO charterparty clause for solid bulk cargoes that may liquefy
BIMCO have recently produced an industry standard charter party provision to address the issues with the potential hazards associated with the loading of solid bulk cargoes that may liquefy.
A key feature of the Clause is that it requires charterers to provide the owners with written evidence from the shippers that the moisture content of the cargo does not exceed the Transportable Moisture Limit. The Clause also allows for the owners to be able to take their own test samples of the cargo prior to loading and for the master to be able to refuse to accept the cargo (or to sail if already loaded).
The Solid Bulk Cargoes that can Liquefy Clause is available to download free of charge from BIMCO’s website at www.bimco.org and is also contained within a special circular to all BIMCO members which can be downloaded here.
