MSC 85/26/Add.2ANNEX 3Page 127APPENDIXCOALProperties and characteristics1. Coals may emit methane, a flammable gas. A methane/air mixture containing between 5%and 16% methane constitutes an explosive atmosphere which can be ignited by sparks ornaked flame, e.g., electrical or frictional sparks, a match or lighted cigarette. Methane islighter than air and may, therefore, accumulate in the upper region of the cargo space orother enclosed spaces. If the cargo space boundaries are not tight, methane can seepthrough into spaces adjacent to the cargo space.2. Coals may be subject to oxidation, leading to depletion of oxygen and an increase incarbon dioxide or carbon monoxide concentrations in the cargo space. Carbon monoxideis an odourless gas, slightly lighter than air, and has flammable limits in air of 12%to 75% by volume. It is toxic by inhalation with an affinity for blood haemoglobinover 200 times that of oxygen.3. Some coals may heat spontaneously and the spontaneous heating may lead to spontaneouscombustion in the cargo space. Flammable and toxic gases, including carbon monoxide,may be produced.4. Some coals may be liable to react with water and produce acids which may causecorrosion. Flammable and toxic gases, including hydrogen, may be produced. Hydrogenis an odourless gas, much lighter than air, and has flammable limits in air of 4% to 75%by volume.Segregation and stowage requirements1. Unless expressly provided otherwise, boundaries of cargo spaces where this cargo iscarried shall be resistant to fire and liquids.2. This cargo shall be “separated from” goods of classes 1 (division 1.4), 2, 3, 4 and 5 inpackaged form (see IMDG Code) and “separated from” solid bulk materials of classes 4and 5.1.3. Stowage of goods of class 5.1 in packaged form or solid bulk materials of class 5.1 aboveor below this cargo shall be prohibited.4. The master shall ensure that this cargo is not stowed adjacent to hot areas.5. This cargo shall be “separated longitudinally by an intervening complete compartment orhold from” goods of class 1 other than division 1.4.Note: For interpretation of these terms, see section 9.General requirements for all types of these cargoes1. Prior to loading, the shipper or his appointed agent shall provide in writing to the masterthe characteristics of the cargo and the recommended safe handling procedures forloading and transport of the cargo. As a minimum, the cargo’s contract specifications formoisture content, sulphur content and size shall be stated, and especially whether thecargo may be liable to emit methane or self-heat.2. Before loading, the master shall ensure the following:2.1 All cargo spaces and bilge wells are clean and dry. Any residue of waste material orprevious cargo is removed, including removable cargo battens; andI:\MSC\85\26-Add-2.doc
