Part 24C also requires that the cargo is loaded and carried in accordance with the provisions of the Code of Safe Practice for Solid Bulk Cargo es (EC Code) published by the International Maritime Organization. Requirements in respect of the welfare of livestoc k and associated shipboard conditions are to be found in various Codes of Animal Welfare endorsed as national codes by the Animal Welfare Advisory Committee and published by the Ministry of Agriculture. For ships loading and carrying livestock Part 24C specifies requirements relating only to the safety of the ship and personnel aboard whilst livestock are loaded and carried.Maritime Rules
Part 24C outlines the specific requirements which ships carrying grain. timber deck cargoes and livestock are to comply with. solid bulk cargoes. For ships loading and carrying timber deck cargoes Part 24C requires compliance with the provisions of the Code of Safe Practice for Ships Carrying Timber Deck Cargoes adopted by the International Maritime Organization. For ships loading and carrying solid bulk cargoes Part 24C implements the provisions of SOLAS Chapter VI Part B. The authority for making Part 24C is found in section 36(m) of the Maritime Transport Act 1994. For ships loading and carrying grain Part 24C implements the provisions of SOLAS Chapter VI Part C.
A notice was also publishedin the New Zealand Gazette on 18 September 1997.Part 24C Carriage of Cargoes—Specific Cargoes
