    Learning Objectives 5B

    Bulk Grain Cargoes

     Understand the requirements for the carriage of Bulk


    Grain
     Define : Grain, Filled Compartment, Partly Filled
    Compartment and Angle of Flooding
     List the various methods of reducing or eliminating the
    adverse heeling effect of grain shift
     Describe the preparations and precautions necessary
    prior to loading grain cargoes

    KNR/01-2003 SP-SMA Slide 1


    Introduction
    Bulk Grain
     Bulk grain -
     semi-fluid property
     liable to shift due to heavy rolling, causing the vessel to
    list dangerously and possibly capsize.
     Due to this hazard that the IMO (International
    Maritime Organization) Grain Rules came into
    being.
     based on the recognition that in a compartment
    nominally filled with grain there exist a void space
    between the surface of the grain and the deckhead of the
    loaded compartment.

    KNR/01-2003 SP-SMA Slide 2


    Definitions - Grain
     The term “grain” includes :
     wheat
     maize (corn)
     oats
     rye (grasslike cereal)
     barley
     rice
     seeds (matured fertilized grain)
     pulses (peas, beans etc)
    and processed forms thereof, whose behaviour is
    similar to that of grain in its natural state.

    KNR/01-2003 SP-SMA Slide 3


    Definitions - Filled compartment

     The term “filled compartment” refers to any


    compartment in which, after loading and trimming
    as required , the bulk grain is at highest possible level

    Filled

    KNR/01-2003 SP-SMA Slide 4


    Definitions - Partly filled
    compartment
     The term “partly filled compartment” refers to any
    compartment wherein bulk grain is not loaded in the
    manner prescribed for a “filled compartment”.

    Partly filled

    KNR/01-2003 SP-SMA Slide 5


    Definitions -Angle of flooding
     The term “angle of flooding” means an angle of heel at which
    openings in the hull, superstructures or deckhouses, which
    cannot be closed weathertight, immerse. (small openings
    through which progressive flooding cannot take place need not
    be considered as open.

    A A = Angle of
    Flooding

    KNR/01-2003 SP-SMA Slide 6


    Methods of Reducing or Eliminating the
    Adverse Heeling Effect of Grain Shift
     In order to reduce or eliminate the adverse heeling effect
    of grain shift, the following methods may he used:

     a) Shifting Board (F+P)


     b) Overstowing (F+P)
     c) Strapping and Lashing (F+P)
     d) Bundling (F)
     e) Saucering (F)
     f) Feeders (F)
    (F-filled, P-partly
    filled)

    KNR/01-2003 SP-SMA Slide 7


    Preparations & Precautions Prior
    to Loading Grain
     governed by the IMO recommendations which deal in depth
    about stability and other requirements such as :
     compartment must be absolutely clean and free from any odour.
     bilges should be free and clean, particular attention being given
    to the strum boxes, to lime or cement wash to the bilges.
     Burlap should be laid and nailed down over limber boards so as
    to prevent grain from entering the bilges or bilge wells.
     The tanktop ceiling should be clean, dry, free from any stains and
    with seams properly caulked and ensure no infestation.
     Entire compartment-bilges,limber boards, spar ceiling,battens,
    pipe guards, fittings should be free of infestation of any kind.
     Ventilation system should be checked and allowed continuous
    flow of air over the surface of grain to remove warm air currents
    arising from the bulk.
