Brazil's New Bulk Carrier Inspections

The Brazilian Maritime Authority has introduced new inspection requirements for aged bulk carriers visiting Brazilian ports. Ships aged 18 years or older carrying cargoes with a density of 1.78 t/m3 or more, such as iron ore, bauxite, and manganese, will be subject to port state inspection prior to loading. Brazilian-flagged ships will be inspected by flag state surveyors. The inspections are in addition to annual mandatory surveys for bulk carriers aged 18 years or older. The new rules aim to improve safety after recent bulk carrier casualties and are similar to new requirements in China. Ship owners should be aware of the inspections when calling at Brazilian ports.

Brazil inspection of aged bulk carriers

BRAZIL INSPECTION OF AGED BULK CARRIERS

Overview
The Brazilian Maritime Authority imposes new inspection requirement for aged vessels carrying solid bulk cargoes.
NEWS STORY CARGO SAFETY SHIPS INSPECTIONS AND PORT STATE CONTROL BRAZIL

The Brazilian authorities have introduced an inspection regime for all ships that are 18 years of age or more, visiting their ports.

Such ships that are foreign flagged and intending to load cargoes with a density of 1.78 t/m3 or more, eg, iron ore, bauxite and manganese will, upon arrival, be subject to
port state inspection prior to commencement of loading. Brazilian flagged ships will also be inspected but by flag State surveyors.

Members are to note that the above-mentioned requirement is, in addition to the annual mandatory condition survey required to be conducted on bulk carriers, oil/ore
(OOs) and oil/bulk/ore (OBOs) of 18 years or more of age (reference: NORMAM 04,Chapter 3).

The above inspection requirement has been imposed in the wake of the number of recent casualties involving bulk carriers. China has also initiated a similar regime.

Members calling at the Brazilian ports are to be guided accordingly of the foregoing requirements.

Members wishing to know whether their cargo fixtures or potential ones will be affected in terms of the density requirement can easily go to the BIMCO online solid cargo
database for a quick verification.
