CLASS 1
EXPLOSIVES
They should be stacked on the ship away from the personnel area and the boat hull, just below the hatch covers.
Substances included in this class:
Black powder, firecrackers, smoke bombs, ammunition, dynamite, etc. |
|
|
|
|
CLASS 2
GASES
SUBCLASS 2.1
FLAMMABLE GAS Must be stacked away from any heat source and all personnel areas.
Substances included in this class:
Acetylene, ethane, ethylene, methane, hydrogen, lighter gas, etc. |
|
|
|
CLASS 2.2
TOXIC GASES :
They should be stacked away from all kinds of heat sources, the staff area and food.
Substances included in this class:
Ammonia, fluorine, prussic acid, chlorite, carbon monoxide, etc. |
|
|
|
CLASS 2.3
NON-FLAMMABLE COMPRESSED GAS :
Must be stored in a cool, well-ventilated place on or under the deck. The tubes filled with these gases expand when they receive heat, which is very dangerous because it causes explosions.
Substances included in this class:
Argon, helium, carbon dioxide, air gas, oxygen, etc. |
|
|
|
CLASS 3
FLAMMABLE LIQUID
They are divided into 3 subgroups according to the combustion point of the evaporated gas released in the event of heating.
SUBCLASS 3.1
FUEL: The combustion point is less than 18O C. It must always be stacked on deck.
SUBCLASS 3.2
DIESEL: The combustion point is between 18OC and 23OC. It should be stacked on or under the bridge.
SUBCLASS 3.3
DIESEL: The combustion point is between 23OC and 61OC. It should be stacked under the bridge. |
|
|
|
CLASS 4
GASES
SUBCLASS 4.1
FLAMMABLE SOLIDS:Must be stacked on deck or under deck. They must be kept away from the accommodation. Substances included in this class: Aluminum powder, celluloid, naphthalene, red phosphorus, films, naphtha oil, dry fibers, etc. |
|
|
|
SUBCLASS 4.2
SUBSTANCES LIABLE TO SPONTANEOUS COMBUSTION : it should be stacked in well-ventilated areas and the batteries should be shaped to allow air circulation.
Substances included in this class:
Copra, fish meal, dried grass, charcoal, etc. |
|
|
|
SUBCLASS 4.3
SUBSTANCES WHICH, IN CONTACT WITH WATER, EMMIT FLAMMABLE GASES:when they come into contact with water these solids give off flammable gases. They should be kept in dry, well-ventilated places and contact with water should be avoided at all costs.
Substances included in this class:
Alkali alloys, barium, carbide, ferrosilicon, natrium, magnesium, etc. |
|
|
|
CLASS 5
OXIDIZING SUBSTANCES AND ORGANIC PEROXIDES
SUBCLASS 5.1
OXIDIZING SUBSTANCES:
Substances in this class create an environment that facilitates combustion by releasing oxygen. Due to these properties, they should not be stacked next to flammable materials.
Substances included in this class:
Nitrate, artificial fertilizer, ammonium sulfate, barium chlorate, etc. |
|
|
|
SUBCLASS 5.2
ORGANIC PEROXIDES:
Substances included in this class may be flammable or explosive. They must be placed in a dry and cool place, covered on the deck.
Substances included in this class:
All peroxides are included in this class. |
|
|
|
CLASS 6
TOXIC SUBSTANCES
SUBCLASS 6.1
TOXIC SUBSTANCES
Toxic substances can enter the human body orally and be fatal. For this reason, they should be stacked away from food, drink, living quarters and moisture-releasing substances such as tobacco.
Substances included in this class:
Arsenic, aniline, barium oxide, phenol, nicotine, lead, cyanide, mercury products, etc. |
|
|
|
SUBCLASS 6.2
INFECTIOUS SUBSTANCES :These substances cause disease because they contain microbes. They should be stacked away from food, drink and living places. The nearest health authority should be informed in dangerous situations. Our company often prefers the transport of live animals.
Substances included in this class:
Bones, bone oil, compressed meat scraps, animal skin, blood powder, etc. |
|
|
|
CLASS 7
RADIOACTIVE MATERIAL
These substances are transported in special containers. The containers must be absolutely intact. They should preferably be stacked on deck, away from staff, food, unwashed films, medicines and chemicals. They are divided into 3 groups in terms of degrees of activity. |
