  2 Concentrates or other cargoes which may liquefy shall only beaccepted for loading when the actual moisture content of the cargo is lessthan its transportable moisture limit. However, such concentrates andother cargoes may be accepted for loading even when their moisture contentexceeds the above limit, provided that safety arrangements to thesatisfaction of the Administration are made to ensure adequate stabilityin the case of cargo shifting and further provided that the ship hasadequate structural integrity.

  3 Prior to loading a bulk cargo which is not a cargo classified inaccordance with the provisions of Regulation VII/2 but which has chemicalproperties that may create a potential hazard, special precautions forits safe carriage shall be taken.

  Regulation 7 Stowage of bulk cargo

  1 Bulk cargoes shall be loaded and trimmed reasonably level, asnecessary, to the boundaries of the cargo space so as to minimize the riskof shifting and to ensure that adequate stability will be maintainedthroughout the voyage.

  2 When bulk cargoes are carried in 'tween-decks, the hatchways of such'tween-decks shall be closed in those cases where the loading informationindicates an unacceptable level of stress of the bottom structure if thehatchways are left open. The cargo shall be trimmed reasonably level andshall either extend from side to side or be secured by additionallongitudinal divisions of sufficient strength. The safe load-carryingcapacity of the 'tween-decks shall be observed to ensure that thedeck-structure is not overloaded. PART C CARRIAGE OF GRAIN
