OMI - IMO653E - Guidelines for the Provisional Assessment of Liquids Transported in Bulk

This book is available in hard copy and in digital format in a locked format to read with the IMO reader (free).

These Guidelines were approved in conjunction with the extension of the unified interpretation of regulation 3(4) of Annex II of MARPOL 73/78, which made it possible for Administrations to authorize manufacturers to carry out provisional assessments on IMO's behalf. The Guidelines also provide step-by-step procedures for ascertaining the carriage requirements of all liquids offered for bulk carriage.
