MS (Carriage of Cargoes) Reg. 1999
Regulation 9 states;
Or;
Amendments to SOLAS Chapter VI
• Loading is not to commence unless the
Master demonstrates to the Port State
Authority that in the proposed loading
condition, the ship would comply with the
International Grain Code and a signed
document is issued by the Certifying
Authority Surveyor.
•500 tph loading arm
•Swivelling upper

•Boom has planetary
movement for
position of loading

trimming of grain
•Fitted with dust

Grain includes any one of the
following:-
Wheat
• Any of these can
•
• Maize
• Oats cause self
• Rye combustion due
• Barley
Rice

• Pulses given off
• Seeds
Grain Loading Feeder
Note it discharges low down to reduce dust
Can I carry 20,000 tonnes of
grain on my vessel?
• Check you have a current Document of
Authorisation
• Refer to the vessel's stability book to see
what weight the vessel can carry in each
hold
• Check out the grain loading plans on
board - check the volume for each
compartment
• Obtain stowage factor from the shipper
• Find out what type of grain you are
loading and check if it gives off
dangerous gases

• The initial metacentric height after
correction for free surface effects of
liquids in tanks (i.e. GM Fluid) shall be NOT
LESS than 0.30m.
• Ship’s particulars
• Lightship displacement & KG
• Table of liquid FSE corrections
• Various curves or tables including angle of
flooding, hydrostatic properties, stability &
heeling moments.
• Loading instructions in the form of notes
summarising the requirements of the Code.
• A worked example for guidance
• Typical loaded departure and arrival conditions
and intermediate worst service conditions.

Grain cargo
Saucering & Bundling
• The depth of the saucer, measured from
the bottom of the saucer to the deck line,
shall be as follows:
• For ships with a moulded breadth of up to
9.1 m, not less than 1.2 m.
• For ships with a moulded breadth of 18.3 m
or more, not less than 1.8 m.
• For ships with a moulded breadth between
9.1 m and 18.3 m, the minimum depth of
the saucer shall be calculated by
interpolation.
Saucering & Bundling
• The top of the saucer shall be formed by the
under deck structure in way of the hatchway
and be completely filled with bagged grain or
other suitable cargo laid down on a separation
cloth or its equivalent and stowed tightly against
adjacent structure.
• If hull structure to provide such bearing surface
is not available, the saucer shall be fixed in
position by steel wire rope, chain, or double
steel strapping spaced not more than 2.4m
apart.
Overstowing & Lashing
• This may be achieved by over stowing, strapping or
lashing, or securing with wire mesh, for which the Code
gives full details of the materials to be used, and
methods of securing. The following is a summary
Overstowing:
• The grain surface shall be level and shall be covered
with a separation cloth or equivalent or by a suitable
platform.
• The platform or separation cloth shall be topped off with
bagged grain tightly stowed and extending to a height
of not less than one sixteenth of the max breadth of the
free grain surface or 1.2 m, whichever is the greater.
• Instead of bagged grain, other suitable cargo tightly
stowed and exerting at least the same pressure may be
used.
1. Partly filled & levelled hold
2. Overlay with tarpaulin or suitable
platform
3. Top of with tightly stowed bagged grain
4. To a height of not less than:-
B/16 or 1.2m,
whichever is greater
Overlaid with tarpaulins.
Two layers of wire
Wire Mesh reinforced mesh laid on top,
overlapped by at least
Trimmed, levelled & 75mm. First layer
slightly crowned. athwarthships, second is
longitudinally.
Mesh retained by wooden
planks (150mm x 50mm) at
port & starboard sides.
Wire, double steel or chain
Hold lashings fixed not more than
partly 2.4m apart over the wire
filled with mesh
bulk grain Lashings to be laid over two
layers of planks (150mm x
50mm) extending the full
Last page breadth of the hold.
