Section 4 Carriage of dangerous cargoes

4.1 General

4.1.1 For general requirements, see Pt 4, Ch 4, 1.3 Dangerous liquids and Pt 4, Ch 4, 1.5 Designation of dangerous liquids to ship types. Attention is also drawn to the specific ship type requirements in Pt 4, Ch 4, 3 Ship Arrangements.

4.1.2 With the exception of water reactivity, reactivity with the environment is not covered within the ADN. Selfreactivity is also excluded since in that case the cargoes concerned will be required to be inerted, inhibited or stabilized as indicated in Table C of the ADN. Interreactivity of cargoes or groups of cargoes has not been indicated in Table C of the ADN, the principal preventative arrangements being operational.

4.1.3 Where it is proposed to carry cargoes requiring temperature control for reasons of safe carriage, the temperature control arrangements are to be appropriate for the intended service and characteristics of the cargo, see also Pt 5, Ch 13, 6 Cargo tank level gauging equipment and arrangements against overfilling and Pt 5, Ch 13, 7 Cargo heating arrangements.

4.1.4 Whilst many chlorinated hydrocarbon cargoes are not appreciably corrosive to such materials as mild steel, copper and its alloys and to aluminium when they are essentially dry, certain types of those cargoes may slowly generate traces of highly corrosive hydrochloric acid when in contact with water or moist air. Operational arrangements should, therefore, be such as to minimize the probability of contamination of chlorinated hydrocarbon cargoes with water and moisture.

4.1.5 Arrangements for preserving the quality of the cargo are the responsibility of the Owners.
