ABS publishes a brief guide on the amendments to the IMSBC Code

Covering the latest carriage requirements for bulk cargoes, the IMO has adopted a new set of amendments to the International Maritime Solid Bulk Cargoes (IMSBC) Code.

The American Bureau of Shipping, on March 29th, 2023, published an article about the update to the IMSBC Code (Amendment 06-21).

These updates include a revised definition for Group A cargoes and new requirements addressing cargoes which may undergo dynamic separation during transit, as well as several new additions and deletions to the solid bulk cargoes list.

Owners of both new and existing vessels should be mindful of these updates and shipowners and operators should make plans for updating their IMSBC Code certificates and approved cargo lists if necessary.
