- This survey checklist is used for inspection of ships built before 1st Sep 1984, to determine their compliance to IMSBC Code requirements for each specific Group A, C and Group B bulk cargoes. - Evaluation of the report and determination of possible recommendations will be dealt with by HO exclusively. In accordance with the control results, Certificate of Compliance for the Carriage of Solid Bulk Cargoes including the List of Cargoes that the ship meets carriage requirements of them is to be issued. Survey is also to be reported on CL 100. IMPORTANT NOTE: 1)Statements hereinafter which are met only for a part of the cargo spaces should be marked yes (x) and a remark should be entered by stating the related item code, e.g. G.1 not in holds no. 3 and 5. 2) MSC/Circular 1146 is also part of this checklist. It is enclosed as Part III. When checking Item Code A, pls. see MSC/Circular 1146. 3) In case only natural ventilation is required for the transportation of corresponding cargo, the electrical appliances need not have a type of protection (Item code H,I,J,K) if they can be isolated from the electrical supply and safeguarded against unintentional reconnection. But, it should be stated in the certificate.

(INTERNATIONAL MARITIME SOLID BULK CARGOES CODE)
Part IV MSC/CIRCULAR 1146
Table 1 LISTS OF SOLID BULK CARGOES FOR WHICH A FIXED GAS FIRE-EXTINGUISHING SYSTEM MAY BE EXEMPTED OR FOR WHICH A FIXED GAS FIRE-EXTINGUISHING SYSTEM IS INEFFECTIVE 1 The Maritime Safety Committee, at its sixty-fourth session (5 to 9 December 1994), agreed there was a need to provide Administrations with guidelines regarding the provisions of SOLAS regulation II-2/10 concerning exemptions from the requirements for fire-extinguishing systems. 2 The Committee also agreed to the annexed table 1 providing a list of solid bulk cargoes, for which a fixed gas fire-extinguishing system may be exempted and recommended Member Governments to take into account the information contained in that table when granting exemptions under the provisions of SOLAS regulation II2/10.7.1.4. 3 The Committee further agreed to the annexed table 2 providing a list of solid bulk cargoes for which a fixed gas fire-extinguishing system is ineffective, and recommended that cargo spaces in a ship engaged in the carriage of cargoes listed in table 2 be provided with a fire-extinguishing system which provides equivalent protection. The Committee also agreed that Administrations should take account of the provisions of SOLAS regulation II-2/19.3.1 when determining suitable requirements for an equivalent fire-extinguishing system. 4 The Maritime Safety Committee, at its seventy-ninth session (1 to 10 December 2004), reviewed the above-mentioned tables as set out in the annex. 5 The annexed tables will be reviewed periodically by the Maritime Safety Committee. Member Governments are requested to provide the Organization, when granting exemptions to ships for the carriage of cargoes not included in table 1, with data on the non-combustibility or fire risk properties of such cargoes. Member Governments are also requested to provide the Organization, when equivalent fire-extinguishing systems are required for the agreed carriage of cargoes not included in table 2, with data on the inefficiency of fixed gas fire-extinguishing systems for such cargoes. 6 The purpose of this circular is to provide guidance to Administrations. It should not, however, be considered as precluding Administrations from their right to grant exemptions for cargoes not included in table 1 or to impose any conditions when granting such exemptions under the provisions of SOLAS regulation II-2/10.7.1.4. 7 This circular supersedes MSC/Circ.671. LIST OF SOLID BULK CARGOES FOR WHICH A FIXED GAS FIREEXTINGUISHING SYSTEM MAY BE EXEMPTED Cargoes including but not limited to those listed in regulation II-2/10 Ore Coal (COAL and BROWN COAL BRIQUETTES) Grain Unseasoned timber Cargoes listed in the Code of Safe Practice for Solid Bulk Cargoues (BC Code), which are not combustible or constitute a low fire risk.
