  • 1 Navigation Maritime Bulgare JSC, Varna, Bulgaria

Abstract

In recent years, accidents in maritime transport of bulk cargoes which are able to liquefy have sharply increased, resulting in total loss of vessels and crew casualties. In order to increase safety at sea, it is necessary to examine circumstances leading to cargo liquefaction on board vessels and the precautionary measures which should be taken, before commencement of loading of such kind of cargoes.
