• IMSBC Code (mandatory, SOLAS chapter VI): solid bulk cargoes in Groups A (may liquefy), B (chemical hazard, MHB) and C, a schedule per cargo, TML control for Group A.
• Grain Code (mandatory, SOLAS chapter VI): grain stability criteria against the assumed heeling moment and a Document of Authorization to carry grain.
• BLU Code (A.862(20), recommendatory, given effect through SOLAS VI/7): information exchange, the agreed loading and unloading plan and the ship-shore safety checklist against hull over-stressing.
• SOLAS chapter XII: high-density cargo 1,780 kg/m³ and above, regulation 4 survival of flooding of any one hold (single-side-skin ships of 150 m and over), water-ingress alarms, regulation 7 survey and maintenance.
• ESP Code (A.1049(27), successor to A.744(18)): the enhanced survey programme of close-up surveys and thickness measurements for bulk carriers and tankers.
• As Chief Engineer: I maintain the survival machinery SOLAS XII relies on: water-ingress alarms, bilge and ballast systems.
