Liquefaction a problem for bulk terminals

摘要

The Association of Bulk Terminal Operators' (ABTO) CEO, Ian Adams, called for new regulations and procedures as he warned cargo handling body ICHCA International that liquefaction was an important issue for bulk terminals. Usually associated with the seaborne transport of unprocessed mineral ores and concentrates, cargo liquefaction can and does sink ships. An example is Bulk Jupiter last year, which sank offVietnam while carrying 46,000 tonnes of bauxite.
