IMSBC Code (International Maritime Solid Bulk Cargoes Code). Incorporating amendment 05-19 and supplement

Издание на английском языке
The primary aim of the International Maritime Solid Bulk Cargoes Code (IMSBC Code), which replaces the Code of Safe Practice for Solid Bulk Cargoes (BC Code), is to facilitate the safe stowage and shipment of solid bulk cargoes by providing information on the dangers associated with the shipment of certain types of solid bulk cargoes and instructions on the procedures to be adopted when the shipment of solid bulk cargoes is contemplated. The IMSBC Code, adopted on 4 December 2008 by resolution MSC.268(85), entered into force on 1 January 2011, from which date it was made mandatory under the provisions of the SOLAS Convention. The Code was amended by resolution MSC.318(89), incorporating amendment 01-11, which entered into force on 1 January 2013, by resolution MSC.354(92), incorporating amendment 02-13, which entered into force on 1 January 2015, by resolution MSC.393(95), incorporating amendment 03-15, which entered into force on 1 January 2017 and by resolution MSC.426(98), incorporating amendment 04-17, which entered into force on 1 January 2019. The Code was further amended by resolution MSC.462(101), incorporating amendment 05-19, which may be applied from 1 January 2020 on a voluntary basis, anticipating its envisaged official entry into force on 1 January 2021.
