CARRIAGE OF OLIVE MARGINE
Published: 24 November 2022
We have become aware that the above cargo (sometimes described as “Vegetable Residues” or “Olive Mill Waste Water (OMWW)”) is being offered for loading at ports in North Africa. Olive Margine is not listed as a cargo in the IMSBC Code but we have been informed by cargo experts that it is prone to liquefaction and can, therefore, threaten ship stability. Although tests may be provided by shippers, please be aware that there are no internationally recognised tests for confirming the flow moisture point and hence determining the transportable moisture limit for vegetable products like Olive Margine unlike Group A mineral cargoes.
If any Members are considering loading Olive Margine, they are recommended to contact the Club for assistance.
