Babassu Cake

Description

Residue of Babassu kernel after extraction of oil. Contains about 5 percent oil.

Usually shipped in bags. Is liable to heat and if badly stowed may be subject to spontaneous combustion. Absorbs moisture, thereby having a tendency to increase in weight. Moist cargoes and other wetting may cause mould formation. Is liable to taint by odorous goods.

Reference is made to the relevant IMO publications of hazardous cargo.
