SOLAS Chapter VII - Carriage of dangerous goods
requires among other things the declaration of hazardous substances contained in the
cargo.
MAPOL Annex II - Regulations for the Control of Pollution by Noxious Liquid
Substances in Bulk
defines the following categories for hazardous liquid substances:
Category A - Noxious liquid substances which if discharged into the sea from tank cleaning or
deballasting operations would present a major hazard to either marine resources or human health
or cause serious harm to amenities or other legitimate uses of the sea and therefore justify the appli-
cation if stringent anti-pollution measures. Examples are acetone cyanohydrin, carbon disulphide,
cresols, naphtalene and tetraethyl lead.
Category B - Noxious liquid substances which if discharged into the sea from tank cleaning or
deballasting operations would present a hazard to either marine resources or human health or cause
harm to amenities or other legitimate uses of the sea and therefore justify the application if special
anti-pollution measures. Examples are acrylonitrile, carbon tetrachloride, ethylene dichloride and
phenol.
Category C - Noxious liquid substances which if discharged into the sea from tank cleaning or
deballasting operations would present a minor hazard to either marine resources or human health
or cause minor harm to amenities or other legitimate uses of the sea and therefore require special
operational conditions. Examples are benzene, styrene, toluene and xylene.
Category D - Noxious liquid substances which if discharged into the sea from tank cleaning or
deballasting operations would present a recognizable hazard to either marine resources or human
health or cause minimal harm to amenities or other legitimate uses of the sea and therefore require
some attention in operational conditions. Examples are acetone, phosporic acid and tallow.
