Compatibility Guide for Adjacent Loading of Bulk Liquid Cargoes.
Abstract
This report was prepared by the Chemical Reactivity Panel of the Committee on Hazardous Materials, Division of Chemistry and Chemical Technology, National Research Council in response to a request from the U.S. Coast Guard for a systematic compatibility guide for the hazards of reaction between binary chemical components of adjacently loaded bulk cargoes. The present report represents an organized approach to the compilation of factual data on the safety or hazard of specified bulk chemicals when accidently mixed in transport, handling, or storage. The study was restricted to those materials regulated by the Coast Guard and shipped in bulk lots. The committee refrained from making any specific regulatory recommendations to the Coast Guard. This study by the committee parallels a similar and simultaneous effort by the Norwegian Shipowners Association.
