Excerpts from ADN 7.1.4.14 "Handling and stowage of the cargo"
7.1.4.14 Handling and stowage of the cargo
7.1.4.14.1 The various components of the cargo shall be stowed such as to prevent them from shifting in relation to one another or to the vessel and such that no damage can be caused by other cargo.
7.1.4.14.1.1 Packages containing dangerous substances and unpackaged dangerous articles shall be secured by suitable means capable of restraining the goods (such as fastening straps, sliding slatboards, adjustable brackets) in a manner that will prevent any movement during carriage which would change the orientation of the packages or cause them to be damaged. When dangerous goods are carried with other goods (e.g. heavy machinery or crates), all goods shall be securely fixed or packed so as to prevent the release of dangerous goods. Movement of packages may also be prevented by filling any voids by the use of dunnage or by blocking and bracing. Where restraints such as banding or straps are used, these shall not be overtightened to cause damage or deformation of the package. Flexible bulk containers shall be stowed in such way that there are no void spaces between them in the hold. If the flexible bulk containers do not completely fill the hold, adequate measures shall be taken to avoid shifting of cargo.
7.1.4.14.1.2 Packages shall not be stacked unless designed for that purpose. Where different design types of packages that have been designed for stacking are to be loaded together, consideration shall be given to their compatibility for stacking with each other. Where necessary, stacked packages shall be prevented from damaging the package below by the use of load-bearing devices. Flexible bulk containers may be stacked on each other in holds provided that the stacking height does not exceed three high. When flexible bulk containers are fitted with venting devices, the stowage of the flexible bulk containers shall not impede their function.
7.1.4.14.1.3 During loading and unloading, packages containing dangerous goods shall be protected from being damaged.
NOTE: Particular attention shall be paid to the handling of packages during their preparation for carriage, the type of vessel on which they are to be carried and to the method of loading or unloading, so that accidental damage is not caused through dragging or mishandling the packages.
7.1.4.14.1.4 When orientation arrows are required, packages and overpacks shall be oriented in accordance with such markings.
NOTE: Liquid dangerous goods shall be loaded below dry dangerous goods whenever practicable.
7.1.4.14.2 Dangerous goods shall be stowed at a distance of not less than 1 m from the accommodation, the engine rooms, the wheelhouse and any sources of heat.
When the accommodation or wheelhouse is situated above a hold, dangerous goods shall in no case be stowed beneath such accommodation or wheelhouse.
7.1.4.14.3 Packages shall be protected against heat, sunlight and the effects of the weather. This provision does not apply to vehicles, wagons, tank-containers, portable tanks, MEGCs and containers.
Where packages are not enclosed in vehicles, wagons or containers but loaded on deck, they shall be covered with tarpaulins that are not readily flammable.
The ventilation shall not be obstructed.
7.1.4.14.4 The dangerous goods shall be stowed in the holds. However, dangerous goods packed or loaded in:
- closed containers;
- MEGCs;
- sheeted vehicles or sheeted wagons;
- tank-containers or portable tanks;
- tank vehicles or tank wagons;
may be carried on deck in the protected area.
