Safe Transportation of Bauxite on Bulk Carriers

Transporting bauxite on bulk carriers is a complex operation that requires specialized knowledge of cargo behavior, risk management, and regulatory compliance. While bauxite is a common bulk commodity, its high moisture content makes it susceptible to liquefaction, a hazardous phenomenon that can compromise ship stability, leading to severe maritime incidents.

This course provides a comprehensive, practical, and science-driven approach to handling and transporting bauxite safely. Participants will gain in-depth knowledge of bauxite characteristics, cargo handling techniques, and international safety regulations, including the IMSBC Code and IMO guidelines. The training also emphasizes preventive measures, cargo monitoring, and emergency response strategies to mitigate risks throughout the shipping process.

Through a highly interactive learning experience, participants will develop the technical expertise and decision-making skills required to ensure safe, compliant, and efficient bauxite transportation, protecting both the vessel and crew.
