Metal scrap / Turnings
General scrap, turnings and aluminium dross are not interchangeable.
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 scrap type, oiliness and possible reactive mixtures.
Plan structural protection and safe access.
Record tank-top and hold-fitting condition before loading.
Do not treat turnings or metal-production residues as general steel scrap.
Distinguish general scrap from borings, shavings and turnings.
Record temperature and fire checks required by the relevant schedule.
Monitor shifting and bilge findings from safe positions.
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.
This sequence requires product/specialist instructions. The flow below is for planning and verification only; no generic wet-cleaning procedure is provided.
01
Define the task
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.
No ready-made chemical application package is supplied for this sequence. Exact residue, cargo, coating and reactivity information requires a company/manufacturer/specialist method.
Ticks are cleared when you leave this page. Print/save the completed checklist to your own record system. Ticking items does not grant permission or acceptance.
Check publication dates and later changes. Club guidance, manufacturer documents and binding schedules have different roles. This file is not a complete carriage manual.
