Recommendation 018/09

Maritime

Forward this report to Panama, the Flag State for the Taharoa Express, and work with it on how it is going to address the issue concerning the past and current loading procedure for the Taharoa Express, which results in the ship sailing with the iron sand cargo above its transportable moisture limit, without a formal assessment having been conducted to determine whether the cargo is capable of liquefaction under normal load and transit conditions, and without determining whether the Flag State Panama should grant an exemption for sailing with its cargo above transportable moisture limit.
