A recent investigation by the UK Marine Accident Investigation Branch (MAIB) into the circumstances surrounding an explosion on a vessel carrying incinerator bottom ash has highlighted the dangers of failing to comply with the International Maritime Solid Bulk Cargoes (IMSBC) Code requirements.
In this instance, the cargo generated hydrogen gas which leaked into an adjacent space. The emitted gas was ignited by a spark from an electrical panel and led to an explosion. The blast blew open the hatch covers and the chief engineer sustained burn injuries.
