IMSBC Group A - Liquefaction Risk
Liquefaction risk check for a Group A cargo using TML (transportable moisture limit) vs current moisture content.
Loading decision
Safe to load (MC < TML)
Formula, assumptions, and limits
Flow moisture point (FMP) × 0.9 = TML (typical). Iron ore fines, nickel ore, bauxite fines are Group A. Liquefaction caused fatal capsizes (Bulk Jupiter 2015, Stellar Daisy 2017).
