MASTER’S CARGO FILE
Cement clinker
Clinker and cement powder are different material forms.
Use the exact declaration, current applicable schedule and vessel approved plan. This file is not loading or enclosed-space-entry authorisation.
01 · Hold preparation before loading
Verify the declared product and dry hold requirements.
Plan equipment for coarse residue and fine dust.
Check hatch drainage for old hardened deposits.
Record tank-top impact damage or coating loss from cargo operations.
Verify bilge protection cannot be displaced by coarse pieces.
Use clinker-specific declaration and carriage conditions; it is not cement.
Monitor hatch integrity, drains and water-ingress findings.
Record hold/bilge observations and decisions.
Obtain measurement intervals, alarm thresholds and ventilation regime from the exact cargo schedule and approved plan. Do not enter a loaded hold to inspect.

Open a numbered heading to inspect the highlighted area and its check note together. The drawing does not authorise access or entry.
Original cutaway, not to scale. Numbers identify inspection areas, not hull construction, work platforms or rescue arrangements. Inspect upper areas only through approved safe access/observation methods.
1Hatch underside & coaming
Check deposits that may fall back from hatch undersides and channels. Keep drainage clear.
These stages support preparation of the approved work plan. Dry recovery, prewashing, chemical application and rinsing sequences differ between products.

Record: Cargo declaration + written acceptance criteria
Stop / reassess: Do not select a method with unknown residue or standard.
How should I assess this?
Write down previous residue, intended cargo and required standard. Plan water, equipment, time and waste arrangements accordingly.

Residue and wash-water detail
Residue and wash-water plan
Determine the cargo’s HME status and assess cleaning agents, discharge location and applicable MARPOL Annex V/local requirements. A supplier’s non-HME statement for a cleaner does not itself authorise discharge of the complete wash-water mixture. Arrange reception facilities when required and retain the applicable records.
Click a product name to open the manufacturer’s official SDS access page in a new tab. Search the exact product name and select the relevant country/jurisdiction and language where available. Match the current full SDS to the product on board. A product data sheet or Mini SDS does not replace the full SDS.
Review these products as alternatives; do not mix them. Manufacturer summaries below require the same product/formulation, compatible coating and company-approved work plan. Current full SDS/PDS takes precedence; a summary alone is not application approval. Reviewed 17 October 2026.
No previous cargo selected: preloading residue-cleaning products cannot yet be identified. Any documents below concern the intended cargo’s own preparation/after-discharge stages.
Acid-based residue remover identified by the manufacturer for cement, clinker and limewash deposits.
Hydrochloric-acid based. It is not a direct substitute for an alkaline cleaner. Assess the current SDS, coating/metal compatibility, gas/aerosol risks and waste plan before use. No acid application recipe is provided here.
Acid product: no standard dilution recipe is supplied. Complete reaction, coating/metal and waste assessment and obtain the manufacturer’s written task-specific method.
