Editor's Notes
- This module covers the requirements for accepting and transporting hazardous materials by most commercial vessels, foreign or domestic, when in navigable waters of the United States. As you all know, very little of our products are shipped by vessel, so I’ve tried to pick out the things that are most relevant to us. While maritime transport of hazardous materials is generally very safe, it takes more time, and some chemicals may degrade in the voyage. It is used for international shipping, and laws in both countries apply. The country where it’s coming from and the country where it’s going to. Sea freight also requires special forms, but is the most cost-effective and environmentally friendly route to ship goods.
- We don’t want anything to do with something like this happening! After completing this module on the HAZMAT requirements for water, you should be able to: summarize general operating requirements, as well as general handling, stowage, and segregation requirements for transporting hazardous materials by commercial vessels. Recognize segregation requirements for specific classes of hazardous materials and highlight any exceptions to those requirements. Compare the uses of the International Maritime Dangerous Goods Code for similarities to and differences from the uses of the hazardous materials regulations (HMR). And finally, know the incident reporting requirements in the Code of Federal Regulations.
- Instead of looking to the Hazardous Materials Regulations for the rules about carrying hazardous materials as you would normally do, you may use the International Maritime Dangerous Goods Code when carrying hazardous materials by vessel. IMDG Code or International Maritime Dangerous Goods Code is accepted as an international guideline to the safe shipment of hazardous materials by water. The IMDG Code is intended to protect crew members and to prevent marine pollution. The implementation of the Code is mandatory for members of United Nations. This is similar to the way in which you can look to the International Civil Aviation Organization instead of HMR when you’re shipping HAZMAT by air, like we covered last time.
- When you do go to the HMR or the IMDG for information, you can find nifty definitions for things you’d never really thought about. Like, for example, I didn’t know what the word “dunnage” meant, but I found it here. And while we’re on the subject of definitions, what exactly is a hazardous material? Hazardous materials are any materials that have the potential to adversely affect public safety.
- All hazardous materials must be prepared for transportation in accordance with the HMR before they can be transported by vessel. Certain explosives and chemicals, however, are forbidden and may not be transported by vessel. You know where to find out if something is forbidden or not (Hint: the HMR).
- You may not transport hazardous materials by vessel unless they are properly described and certified on the shipping paper.
- At the time a package containing hazardous materials is offered for transportation by vessel, the person responsible for packing or loading it must give the vessel operator a signed container packing certificate stating that the container is allowed for the material loaded in it; it contains no incompatible goods; that it is properly marked, labeled, and placarded, and is not damaged. The signed certification may be on the shipping paper or on a separate document stating that the packing of the container has been carried out in accordance with the provisions of the CFR and/or the IMDG code.
- The term stowage as used in this lesson refers to where a cargo may be located on the vessel and how it is secured. The term segregation refers to a separation of hazardous cargo from other hazardous cargoes by distance or barriers. Stowage and segregation are critical on a vessel because of the forces and stresses that affect it while it travels on water. Bumpy rides and turbulence can cause cargo to shift that can result in significant damage.
- Transporting the HAZMAT material is of course the carrier’s job, but it is the shipper’s responsibility to provide the right information and packaging so that the carrier can do their job. A carrier must prepare a stowage plan for the HAZMAT. A list of the information required for the stowage plan is shown here. Each carrier must retain a copy of the dangerous cargo manifest (or stowage plan) for at least one year.
- After stowage is complete, the carrier must inspect each hold or compartment containing hazardous materials, to ensure that stowage has been accomplished properly and that there are no visible signs of damage. The carrier must inspect again after periods of heavy weather, and every 24 hours. That’s good to know that they’re so cautious about their cargo.
- If an accident occurs on board a vessel damaging hazardous materials packages, then damaged or unauthorized packagings may not be offered to any forwarding carrier for transportation. The master of the vessel must request instructions for disposal of the packages from the nearest United States Coast Guard Captain of the Port (COTP). The master of the vessel may decide to jettison hazardous materials only to prevent or substantially reduce a hazard to human life or reduce a substantial risk to property. Knowing what might happen to our shipments allows us to be prepared. Personally, I didn’t know that the master of the vessel could throw out hazardous materials into the sea, but they can.
- A carrier may not transport by vessel any damaged package containing hazardous materials that appears to have leaked or may leak. Packages may be repaired or restored to the satisfaction of the master of the vessel. A package containing radioactive materials, may not be repaired or restored, not even with duct tape.
- A carrier may not knowingly transport by vessel any hazardous material offered under a deceptive name, marking, invoice, or shipping paper. If a shipment is found to be in violation while in transit, the master of the vessel must take whatever measures are necessary to ensure the safety of the vessel, its passengers, and its crew. If the vessel is in port, the carrier may not deliver the shipment to any party, and the master must immediately request instructions for disposal of the material from the nearest Captain of the Port.
- Unauthorized Certificate Damaged Carrier stowage
- Column 10 of the HMRT contains specific information relating to authorized vessel stowage locations. You don’t have to remember it’s Column 10, just look around to see where something’s supposed to be stowed. The stowage location can depend on whether it’s a passenger vessel or not. The “W” codes, in particular, only apply to transportation by water. If the prescribed stowage location is shown to be impractical for a vessel, the Captain of the Port may authorize in writing an alternative stowage location or method of segregation as long as it will afford the same level of safety.
- Hazardous materials must be stowed in a way that makes inspections easier during the voyage. They must be stowed so that they can be easily removed from a potentially dangerous situation, and in case of fire. If a package contains liquid hazardous materials, it must have orientation markings on it and be stowed with the markings pointing up. Marine pollutants must be properly stowed and secured to minimize the hazards to the marine environment without impairing the safety of the ship and the people on board.
- Shown here are guidelines on the stowage of hazardous materials on decks of vessels. The one I think is relevant to us is the weather and water-resistant packaging requirement. Can anyone tell me, do we have to make sure that the packages are water-protected, or do the carriers?
- Just like when you load chemicals onto a truck, sometimes, when you stow hazardous materials together, you must segregate them according to the General Segregation Table. You can also find segregation requirements in the Hazardous Materials Table. If you ever come across a difference in requirements, you must use the most restrictive segregation requirements.
- Just as a refresher, you use the General Segregation Table by finding one class of material in the vertical column, and then finding another class by horizontal row. The intersection of the vertical column and the horizontal row contains a number or symbol that represents the method of segregation that you must use between the two classes. What the terms mean is listed at the bottom of the table.
- Explosives have their own segregation table. So, literally, sometimes you have to go to another segregation table from a segregation table. The symbol “X” can sometimes be the same way, meaning you have to go to a different table, but when you go there, you might find you don’t need to segregate at all. “Away from” means that incompatible hazardous materials may be carried in the same compartment, provided they are horizontally separated by 3 meters (10 feet). “Separated from” means packages must be carried in different compartments. “Separated by a complete compartment or hold from” means packages may be separated between decks as long as one of the decks is resistant to fire and liquid, or so many meters of separation if “on deck”. Personally, it’s all very overwhelming when I think about what the master of the ship has to do to organize all the cargo. Sometimes you need a wall, so many feet of separation, sometimes not only a wall, but have to make sure they’re still far enough apart even with the wall. You have keep some things away from passengers and crew, don’t block lifeboats, and only so many containers can be on deck. I’m sure it’s all computerized and easier than it would seem, but it didn’t used to be.
- In the highly unlikely situation that one of our drivers would drive to a ferry to hand off hazardous materials, that driver would have to provide to the vessel a copy of the shipping papers and certification that the hazmat were prepared in accordance with the HMR. In some situations, the truck itself can drive onto the ferry and the whole vehicle can be transported.
- The same thing goes for transporting hazardous materials on a barge. It has to be a steel barge, and can’t be a dump scow, which is a barge for disposing of garbage or dredged material. They have hoppers in the bottom that cargo can be dumped through. I’d never heard of a ‘dump scow’ before. It sounds like an excellent insult. You may need a permit from the Captain of the Port to carry certain hazardous materials on a barge.
- Answer: Shipping papers Most of the other many slides in the module had to do with transporting explosives, and some gases and radioactives. So I’m not going to bore you any more to tears than you already are because we don’t carry those things, and secondly, they mostly had to do with how to stow them, and we’re not going to be the ones putting anything on a boat.
- Despite all safety efforts, incidents do occur. When hazardous materials are involved in a transportation incident, a report may be required. For certain incidents, you must notify the National Response Center (NRC) as soon as practical, but not later than 12 hours after the incident occurs. For any such incident, you must also follow up with a written Hazardous Materials Incident Report within 30 days of discovering any unintentional release of hazardous materials or unintentional discharge of hazardous waste.
- You must report a large release of a marine pollutant, by phone, as soon as possible, to the NRC. This requirement applies to a release of over 400 kilograms of a solid, and to the release of over 450 liters of a liquid.
- Hazmat incidents that result in any of the following require notification as soon as possible to the National Response Center or the Center for Disease Control: • Death or injury requiring hospitalization, • Change in the operational flight pattern or routine of an aircraft, • The shutdown of a major facility or transportation artery for more than one hour, an evacuation of the general public that lasts more than one hour, • Release of a marine pollutant in a reportable quantity • A situation that, in your judgment, requires notification, even if none of the above conditions are met – for example, a continuing danger to life, although no death has yet occurred.
- B
- Congratulations! We don’t have to do this for 3 more years! At this point, you should have a general idea of stowage and segregation requirements, know what the IMDG is about and when to use it, and know when to report an incident to the National Response Center. Most of the world’s oxygen comes from the ocean, so much respect to the people on the thousands of ships on the ocean trying to keep accidents from happening.
