13、argo Stowage and Securing. The Code was approved by the Committee at its fifty-eighth session (May 1990) and was adopted by the Assembly at its seventeenth regular session (November 1991) by resolution A.714(17).The Assembly recommended that Governments implement the Code at the earliest possible op
14、portunity and requested the MSC to keep it under review and amend it as necessary.The Code has undergone subsequent changes through the years. The first major change was the amendments of MSC/Circ.664, adopted at the sixty-fourth session of MSC (5 to 9 December 1994), and MSC/Circ.691, adopted by th
15、e Committee at its sixty-fifth session (9 to 17 May 1995), both of which were issued as the 1994/1995 Amendments to the Code of Safe Practice for Cargo Stowage and Securing, introducing annex 13, which has subsequently been incorporated into this edition.This edition includes amendments to annex 12
16、on safe stowage and securing of unit loads, issued as MSC/Circ.740 on 14 June 1996 at the sixty-sixth session of the Maritime Safety Committee. It also contains amendments adopted by the Committee at its seventy-fifth session (15 to 24 May 2002), issued as MSC/Circ.1026, which saw significant change
17、s in the contents of annex 13.The Committee, at its eighty-seventh session (12 to 21 May 2010), approved the following amendments to the Code: by MSC.1/Circ.1352 incorporating a new annex 14 Guidance on Providing Safe Working Conditions for Secur-ing of Containers on Deck which apply in their entire
18、ty for containerships, the keels of which were laid or which are at a similar stage of construction on or after 1 January 2015; sections 4.4 (Training and familiarization), 7.1 (Introduction), 7.3 (Maintenance) and section 8 (Specialized container safety design) apply to existing containerships, the
19、 keels of which were laid or which are at a similar stage of construction before 1 January 2015; and the Code of Safe Practice for Cargo Stowage and Securingviprinciples of this guidance contained in sections 6 (Design) and 7.2 (Opera-tional procedures) are applied to existing containerships as far
20、as practical by the flag State Administration with the understanding that existing ships would not be required to be enlarged or undergo other major structural modifica-tions as determined.The Committee also approved by MSC.1/Circ.1353 Revised guidelines for the preparation of the Cargo Securing Man
21、ual which apply in their entirety for containerships, the keels of which were laid or which are at a similar stage of construction on or after 1 January 2015 and chapters 1 to 4 apply to exist-ing containerships, the keels of which were laid or which were at a similar stage of construction before 1
22、January 2015. In addition, the Committee approved by MSC.1/Circ.1354 Amendments to the elements to be taken into account when considering the safe stowage and securing of cargo units and vehicles in ships (resolution A.533(13); and further approved, by MSC.1/Circ.1355 Amendments to the guidelines fo
23、r securing arrangements for the transport of road vehicles on roro ships (resolution A.581(14), as amended by MSC/Circ.812.The Code includes, as appendices, various texts which have been issued by the Organization and are considered relevant to cargo stowage and secur-ing. Any amendments or revision
24、s, which may be made in future, will be included in subsequent editions of this Code.1Resolution A.714(17) adopted on 6 November 1991, as amended Code of Safe Practice for Cargo Stowage and SecuringThe Assembly,Recalling Article 15(j) of the Convention on the International Maritime Organization conc
25、erning the functions of the Assembly in relation to regula-tions and guidelines concerning maritime safety,Recalling also resolution A.489(XII) on safe stowage and securing of cargo units and other entities in ships other than cellular containerships and MSC/Circ.385*of January 1985 containing the p
26、rovisions to be included in a cargo securing manual to be carried on board ships,Recalling further resolution A.533(13) on elements to be taken into account when considering the safe stowage and securing of cargo units and vehicles in ships,Considering the revised IMO/ILO Guidelines for packing carg
27、o in freight containers or vehicles,nullConsidering also resolution A.581(14) on guidelines for securing arrange-ments for the transport of road vehicles on roro ships,Bearing in mind that a number of serious accidents have occurred as a result of inadequate securing arrangements on board and defici
28、ent stowage and securing of cargoes in vehicles and containers, and that only proper stowage and securing of cargo on adequately designed and properly equipped ships can prevent the occurrence of such accidents in the future,*MSC/Circ.385 was revoked by MSC/Circ.745 of 13 June 1996, which was super-
29、seded by MSC.1/Circ.1353.nullThese Guidelines have been replaced by the IMO/ILO/UN ECE Guidelines for packing of cargo transport units.Code of Safe Practice for Cargo Stowage and Securing2Recognizing the need to improve the stowage and securing of cargoes shown by experience to create specific hazar
30、ds to the safety of ships, and the stowage and securing of road vehicles transported on board roro ships,Recognizing further that such improvement could be achieved by the establishment of a composite code of safe practice for cargo stowage and securing on board ships, including packing or loading c
31、argo in road vehicles and freight containers,Believing that the application of such a code of safe practice would enhance maritime safety,Having considered the recommendations made by the Maritime Safety Committee at its fifty-eighth session,1. Adopts the Code of Safe Practice for Cargo Stowage and
32、Securing set out in the annex to the present resolution;2. Urges Governments to implement this Code at the earliest possible opportunity;3. Requests the Maritime Safety Committee to keep this Code under review and to amend it, as necessary;4. Revokes resolution A.288(VIII). Code of Safe Practice for
33、 Cargo Stowage and Securing5ForewordThe proper stowage and securing of cargoes is of the utmost importance for the safety of life at sea. Improper stowage and securing of cargoes has resulted in numerous serious ship casualties and caused injury and loss of life, not only at sea but also during load
34、ing and discharge.In order to deal with the problems and hazards arising from improper stowage and securing of certain cargoes on ships, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) has issued guidelines in the form of either Assembly resolutions or circulars adopted by the Maritime Safety Committe
35、e (MSC); these are listed hereunder: Safe stowage and securing of cargo units and other entities in ships other than cellular containerships, resolution A.489(XII) see appendix 1; Revised guidelines for the preparation of the Cargo Securing Manual, MSC.1/Circ.1353 see appendix 2; Elements to be take
36、n into account when considering the safe stowage and securing of cargo units and vehicles in ships, resolution A.533(13), as amended see appendix 3; Guidelines for securing arrangements for the transport of road vehicles on roro ships, resolution A.581(14), as amended see appendix 4; IMO/ILO/UN ECE
37、Guidelines for packing of cargo transport units see the Supplement to the IMDG Code (sales number IH210E); Recommendations for entering enclosed spaces aboard ships, resolution A.864(20) see appendix 5.The accelerations acting on a ship in a seaway result from a combination of longitudinal, vertical
38、 and predominantly transverse motions. The forces created by these accelerations give rise to the majority of securing problems.Code of Safe Practice for Cargo Stowage and Securing6The hazards arising from these forces should be dealt with by taking measures both to ensure proper stowage and securin
39、g of cargoes on board and to reduce the amplitude and frequency of ship motions.The purpose of this Code is to provide an international standard to promote the safe stowage and securing of cargoes by: drawing the attention of shipowners and ship operators to the need to ensure that the ship is suita
40、ble for its intended purpose; providing advice to ensure that the ship is equipped with proper cargo securing means; providing general advice concerning the proper stowage and securing of cargoes to minimize the risks to the ship and personnel; providing specific advice on those cargoes which are kn
41、own to create difficulties and hazards with regard to their stowage and securing; advising on actions which may be taken in heavy sea conditions; and advising on actions which may be taken to remedy the effects of cargo shifting.In providing such advice, it should be borne in mind that the master is
42、 responsible for the safe conduct of the voyage and the safety of the ship, its crew and its cargo.General principlesAll cargoes should be stowed and secured in such a way that the ship and persons on board are not put at risk.The safe stowage and securing of cargoes depend on proper planning, execu
43、tion and supervision.Personnel commissioned to tasks of cargo stowage and securing should be properly qualified and experienced.Personnel planning and supervising the stowage and securing of cargo should have a sound practical knowledge of the application and content of the Cargo Securing Manual, if
44、 provided.Foreword7In all cases, improper stowage and securing of cargo will be potentially hazardous to the securing of other cargoes and to the ship itself.Decisions taken for measures of stowage and securing cargo should be based on the most severe weather conditions which may be expected by expe
45、rience for the intended voyage.Ship-handling decisions taken by the master, especially in bad weather conditions, should take into account the type and stowage position of the cargo and the securing arrangements.9Chapter 1 General1.1 ApplicationThis Code applies to cargoes carried on board ships (ot
46、her than solid and liquid bulk cargoes and timber stowed on deck) and, in particular, to those cargoes whose stowage and securing have proved in practice to create difficulties.1.2 Definitions of the terms usedFor the purposes of this Code:Cargo unit means a vehicle, container, flat, pallet, portabl
47、e tank, packaged unit, or any other entity, etc., and loading equipment, or any part thereof, which belongs to the ship but is not fixed to the ship as defined in Assembly resolution A.489(XII).Intermediate bulk container (IBC) means a rigid, semi-rigid or flexible porta-ble bulk container packaging
48、 of a capacity of not more than 3 m3(3,000 ), designed for mechanical handling and tested for its satisfactory resistance to handling and transport stresses.Portable tank means a tank which is not permanently secured on board a ship, and has a capacity of more than 450 and a shell fitted with extern
49、al stabilizing members and items of service equipment and structural equip-ment necessary for the transport of gases, liquids or solids.Road tank-vehicle means a vehicle with wheels and fitted with a tank or tanks intended for the transport of gases, liquids or solids by both road and sea modes of transport, the tank or tanks of which are rigidly and permanently attached to the vehicle during all normal operations of loading, transport and discharge and are nei
