Liquefaction is a phenomenon that affects certain types of solid bulk cargoes, such as nickel ore and iron ore fines. Excessive moisture content within the cargo can cause it to behave like a liquid, leading to stability problems for the ship. This can jeopardize the safety of the crew and the cargo. To address this hazard, it is crucial to conduct regular testing, control moisture content, and comply with the International Maritime Solid Bulk Cargoes (IMSBC) Code to prevent cargo liquefaction.
