CODE OF PRACTICE FOR THE SAFE LOADING AND UNLOADING OF BULK CARRIERS (BLU
CODE), 1998 Edition Being concerned about the continued loss of ships carrying
solid bulk cargoes, sometimes without a trace, and the heavy loss of life
incurred, and recognizing that a number of accidents have occurred as a
result of improper loading and unloading of bulk carriers, the Sub-Committee
on Dangerous Goods, Solid Cargoes and Containers (DSC) at its first session
(February 1996) developed a draft code of practice for the safe loading
and unloading of bulk carriers, with the aim of preventing such accidents.
The resulting Code of Practice for the Safe Loading and Unloading of Bulk
Carriers (BLU Code) was approved by the MSC at its 68th session (June 1997)
and adopted by the Assembly at its 20th session (November 1997) by resolution
A.862(20). The BLU Code, which provides guidance to masters of bulk carriers,
terminal operators and other parties concerned with the safe handling, loading
and unloading of solid bulk cargoes, is also linked to regulation VI/7 of
the 1974 SOLAS Convention, as amended by resolution MSC.47(66).
