Solid Bulk Cargoes/Dangerous Goods Solid Bulk Cargoes/Dangerous Goods Clause 71 replaces the dangerous cargo clause of the NYPE 1993 found in Clause 4(b). The clause is intended to reduce liquefaction risks. The charterer is obliged to provide sufficient information to the shipowners about any solid bulk cargo he intends to load that may be likely to become liquid, as required by the  International Maritime Solid Bulk Cargoes Code  (“IMSBC”), and is needed to provide the documents of dangerous goods transport compliant with the International Maritime Dangerous Goods (“ IMDG” ) Code. If the charterer does not fulfil IMSBC and/or IMDG Code requirements, the master has the right to refuse to load or remove cargo at the risk and expense of the charterer 72 However, the shipowner should not rely on this clause as releasing the charterer obligation under the IMDG Code and IMSBC, or as protecting him where the cargo has appeared improperly wet on loading to the master, or the master has failed to check the risks of liquefaction or dangerous goods. 73 One of the problems is to determine the cargo at the loading time was at risk of liquefaction or not. What is actually required is an improved test. This however, is far from the scope of the standard charterparty. 74 71 NYPE 2015 Time Charter Clause 29 72 NYPE 2015 Time Charter Party Explanatory Notes 18 73 David McKie and Miranda Hearn (n 45) 74 Paul Todd (n 6) 315 วารสารวิชาการนิติศาสตร์ มหาวิทยาลัยทักษิณ ปีที่ 6 ฉบับที่ 8 กรกฎาคม 2560 - มิถุนายน 2561 136
