On 25 July 2012, BIMCO published its “Solid Bulk Cargoes that Can Liquefy Clause for Charter Parties”.
The clause has been issued to help ensure the safe transportation of solid bulk cargoes, which is a particular issue in the case of cargoes prone to liquefaction or combustion. The clause clearly sets out the rights and obligations of the parties and should help avoid arguments between the parties. In some parts, the clauses merely states the obligations of the parties at law, and in other parts it goes further and allocates risk and expense when there are issues with the water content of a cargo.
We discuss in this bulletin the legal obligations of the parties, arguments than can arise if a bulk cargo is alleged to be unsafe, and how the BIMCO clause can resolve these issues. But first a look at the key points of the clause itself.

有关液化的法律问题
2012年7月25日，波罗的海国际航运公会发布了”易液化固体散装货物租约条款” 。
这一条款的发布是为了确保固体散装货物的安全运输，这是易液化和易燃烧货物特有的问题。该条款明确规定了双方的权利和义务，并将有助于避免双方争议。一些条款仅陈述双方法律义务，另一些条款则进一步陈述了当货物存在水分问题时的风险和费用的分担。
本通函讨论双方的法律义务，散装货物不安全时可能引起的争议，以及BIMCO条款如何解决这些问题。在此，首先看一看条款本身的重点。
