What is meant by Liquid Bulk Cargo?

The Procedure Of Loading Liquid Bulk Freight
The loading system of bulk liquid happens to be more complex and multifaceted compared to general types of shipments. The foremost reason is that it may consume considerable time towards cleaning the tanker in the event of leakage of shipments found in the containers. Once the ship reaches the dock, the officers and representatives of the ship examine the cleanliness of liquid tankers. Only after their approval, the loading procedure can be carried out.
At the time of loading petroleum or crude oil freight, it becomes essential to verify if there is any kind of presence of water. In such an incidence, an (NoP) Note of Protest is produced. Moreover, at the time of loading, unloading, and shipping process, regular checks are performed to determine the temperature, tank ullages, and pressure of inert gas, and all data are recorded.
Range Of Liquid Bulk Cargo
Liquid bulk cargo can be categorized into edible, non-edible, HAZMAT, and non-HAZMAT liquids.
The products such as LPG, hazardous liquids chemicals and their equivalent, petroleum, liquefied natural gas, and chemicals come under the category of Hazardous products. It is noteworthy for manufacturers that handling hazardous items needs a special kind of knowledge that they cannot expect from general drivers and loading/unloading workers. Any kind of mishandling can lead to fire hazards, marine pollution hazards, and risk to the environment as well as air pollution and more. Eventually, they may face very high penalties or even cancellation of their business license.
