Guidance on carriage of ammonium-nitrate based fertilizer issued

摘要

The Sub-Committee issued guidance on carriage of ammonium-nitrate based fertilizer (CCC.1/Circ.4), urging extreme care when handling and carrying the fertilizer in bulk. The warning follows accidents involving the MV Purple Beach (2015) and MV Cheshire (2017). While the investigation reports are still pending, the Sub-Committee agreed on the need to raise awareness of potential problems.
