Foreword

  1 Paragraph 1 is replaced by the following:

  • "1 In response to the continuing loss of ships carrying solid bulk cargoes – sometimes without trace and with heavy loss of life – the Code of Safe Practice for the Safe Loading and Unloading of Bulk Carriers (BLU Code) was developed by IMO as one of a number of measures to enhance the operational and structural safety of bulk carriers. It was adopted as a recommendatory instrument by the International Maritime Organization's Assembly at its twentieth session in November 1997 by resolution A.862(20) and amended by resolutions MSC.238(82) and MSC.304(87).
