Loss prevention advice
The Skuld P&I Club has issued a loss prevention article regarding the carriage of bulk grain cargoes.
Cargoes of bulk grain typically consist of bulk cereals, oilseeds and the value added products and by-products yielded from the processing of both cereals and oilseeds. Cereal grains frequently shipped in bulk or break bulk include rice, wheat, maize (corn), oats, barley, millet, sorghum and rye.
These grains can have end uses in both the food and animal feed sectors. For example, while white maize tends to be used for human consumption, yellow maize will in most cases be used as animal feed. Most poultry farmers include a high percentage of yellow maize in chicken feed as the pigments in yellow maize contribute to the yellow colour of the egg yolk. The quality parameters in bulk cereal grains, including broken grains and foreign matter, will differ depending on whether they are intended to be used for food production or animal feed.
