FOR BULK SHIPMENT BY WATER
The U.S. Coast Guard is vitally concerned with safety at sea. In the interest of safety, the Coast Guard reviews all chemicals proposed for bulk shipment by water. All cargoes classified as dangerous are regulated.
The number and variety of unconventional liquid cargoes being transported in bulk by water continues to steadily increase. Although the transportation hazards of common petroleum products are generally well understood, newer commodities often have unusual fire and explosive properties such as wide flammable range, low ignition temperature and foam incompatibility in addition to other hazards such as toxicity and dangerous reactivity. It became increasingly evident that a convenient reference guide listing properties and emergency procedures for bulk liquid cargoes was needed by Coast Guard personnel concerned with the various aspects of safe transportation (marine inspection, port safety and security, marine environmental response and rescue coordination) and by civilian personnel with similar safety interests. The result of these concerns was this Chemical Data Guide.
This manual was prepared by the Marine Technical and Hazardous Materials Division staff at Headquarters in connection with the regulations governing bulk chemical transportation. The data in this guide were compiled from a number of sources. Too often contradictory data were found, and for many commodities desired data were simply nonexistant. However, as additional data become available, appropriate corrections and additions will be made to update and continuously improve this guide.
