Year: 2025 Language: English Author: NCB Genre: Guide and Advices Publisher: National Cargo Bureau (NCB) Edition: July 2025 Format: PDF Quality: eBook Pages count: 6 Description: The International Maritime Organization (IMO) has adopted significant amendments to the International Grain Code through Resolution MSC.552(108)1, which will take effect on 1 January 2026 and will be applicable to both new and existing ships. These changes introduce a new optional loading condition aimed at improving flexibility and safety in the carriage of grain in bulk. Organisations such as the ‘National Cargo Bureau’ have recommended proactive update of grain loading manuals to take account of the new loading condition. It is therefore likely that the authorities at many loading ports will apply extra scrutiny to ships who may fit this criterion, to ensure that the grain loading manual correctly reflects the actual loading condition.
