Bagasse Pellets (in bulk)
Description
A form of cellulose (bio-mass) derived as a by-product of the crushing of sugar cane or guayule
plants.
Dust may form flammable / explosive mixtures with air and all possible sources of ignition should be
kept away during stuffing, carriage and unstuffing. It has a strong smell and is corrosive when in
contact with steel; also liable to heating / spontaneous combustion. Do not load during rain.
Temperature prior to stuffing should be less than 40°C and a certificate from shippers shall mention
particulars with regard to moisture content, temperature and number of days of exposure to the open
air.
Temperatures shall be taken twice daily during the voyage and when the temperature increases,
surface ventilation will be permitted. If the temperature reaches 50°C., ventilation must be stopped. In
case of fire, suppress with CO2.
Reference is made to the relevant IMO regulations on hazardous cargo (when referred to "Seed Cake").
