MSC 85/26/Add.2ANNEX 3Page 302SULPHUR (formed, solid)DESCRIPTIONA co-product recovered from sour gas processing or oil refinery operations that has beensubjected to a forming process that converts sulphur from a molten state into specific solidshapes (e.g., prills, granules, pellets, pastilles or flakes); bright yellow in colour; odourless. Thisschedule is not applicable to crushed, lump and coarse-grained sulphur (see SULPHURUN 1350), or to co-products from sour gas processing or oil refinery operations NOT subjectedto the above-described forming process.CHARACTERISTICSANGLE OF REPOSE BULK DENSITY (kg/m 3 ) STOWAGE FACTOR (m 3 /t)Not applicable 900 to 1350 0.74 to 1.11SIZE CLASS GROUPapprox. 1 mm to 10 mm Not applicable CHAZARDThis cargo is non-combustible or has a low fire risk. If involved in a fire, cargo may generateharmful gases.When handled and shipped in accordance with the provisions of the schedule, this cargo poses nocorrosion or dust hazards for human tissue or vessel.STOWAGE & SEGREGATION“Separated from” strong oxidizers, such as fluorine, chlorine, chlorates, nitrates (nitric acid),peroxides, liquid oxygen, permanganates, dichromates or the like.HOLD CLEANLINESSClean and dry as relevant to the hazards of the cargo. Holds shall not be washed with seawater.WEATHER PRECAUTIONSNo special requirements.LOADINGTrim in accordance with the relevant provisions required under sections 4 and 5 of the Code.Appropriate precautions shall be taken to minimize impact, abrasion and crushing when handlingto prevent dust from forming. Standard application of surfactants ∗ inhibits air borne dust fromforming.∗A fine water-based spray that promotes the binding of smaller particles to larger particles.I:\MSC\85\26-Add-2.doc

MSC 85/26/Add.2ANNEX 3Page 303PRECAUTIONSProtect machinery, accommodations and equipment from small particles or any dust if formed.Persons involved in cargo handling shall wear protective clothing, goggles and dust filter masks.Holds including trimming plates and tanktop s shall be treated with effective, commerciallyavailable protective coating or lime-washed to avoid any potential corrosive reaction betweensulphur, water and steel. Upper sections shall have a sound coating of paint. Hatches shall besealed tightly.VENTILATIONSurface ventilation only, either natural or mechanical, shall be conducted, as necessary, duringthe voyage for this cargo.CARRIAGEAs a fine spray of fresh water or surfactant is added during loading, bilges shall be sounded andpumped out as necessary throughout the voyage.DISCHARGEAppropriate safety precautions shall be taken when entering the cargo spaces, particularly in thearea of the bottom layers of sulphur in ships hold, taking into account the recommendationsdeveloped by the Organization. †Appropriate precautions shall be taken to minimize impact, abrasion and crushing when handlingto prevent dust from forming.CLEAN-UPPersons involved in clean-up shall wear hard hats, protective goggles, long-sleeve shirts, longpants, and impervious gloves. Use of approved respirators shall be considered. Holds shall bethoroughly washed using only fresh water following discharge.Appropriate safety precautions shall be taken when entering the cargo spaces, taking into accountthe recommendations developed by the Organization. ††Refer to Recommendations for entering enclosed spaces aboard ships, adopted by the Organization byresolution A.864(20).I:\MSC\85\26-Add-2.doc
