Description

White crystals or powder, shipped in bags, drums or bulk and used as a fertilizer.

Urea, grouped as a nitrogen giving nutrient to soil, must not come into contact with alkaline materials such as basic slag or lime. If heated significantly can give off toxic gases. Ensure cool stow in a GP container.

Reference is made to the relevant IMO regulations. See also IMBSC Code
