Military Ocean Terminal Concord — Hazardous Materials Safety Interpretation

Page 1U.S. Department of Transportation Washington, DC 20590 1200 New Jersey Avenue SE Materials Safety Pipeline and Hazardous Administration APR 2 2 2015 David Arange Ammunition Surveillance Inspector Military Ocean Terminal Concord Bldg. 542 Concord, CA 94520 410 Norman Ave Ref. No.: 14-0143 Dear Mr. Arange: This responds to your July 10, 2014 letter requesting clarification of the Hazardous Materials rockets with bursting charges. In your letter, you state that you offer for transportation "UN0181, Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR Parts 171-180) applicable to the vessel stowage requirements for Rockets, with bursting charge, 1.1E, IT" by vessel. You note that "UN0181, Rockets, with bursting charge" are assigned the vessel stowage category "04" in the October 1, 2013 edition of the HMR. Further, you provide pictures and drawings entitled "Minimum Procedures Applicable to the Handling, Stowage, and Bracing Aboard Ships and Barges of the Rocket POD/Container (RP/C) for the Multiple Launch Rocket System (MLRS)." You ask whether these rockets must be stowed in a closed storage container for below deck stowage, or is the RP/C suitable as a storage container for below deck stowage? The definition of a "closed cargo transport unit for Class 1 (explosive) materials" means "a freight container or transport vehicle that fully encloses the contents by permanent structures and can be structurally serviceable (see § 176.172)." Based on the pictures and drawings of the RP/C you secured to the ship's structure and are, except for the carriage of division 1.4 explosives, provided in your letter, the RP/C in question fully encloses the contents, is able to be secured to the ships structure due to its design, and is structurally serviceable. The RP/C may be considered a closed cargo transport unit for Class 1 (explosive) materials. I trust this satisfies your inquiry. Please contact us if we can be of further assistance. Sincerely, Diane A T Duane A. Pfund International Standards Coordinator Standards and Rulemaking Division#

I am shipping rockets UN 0181 onboard a cargo vessel. The 2012 edition of the IMDG code as closed cargo transport unit or under deck in a closed cargo unit." References are attached. well as the 2013 edition of the 49 CFR list the rockets as stowage category 4 - "On deck in Category 3. "on deck in a closed shipping container or under deck." In the previous editions of the 49 CFR and IMDG Code the rockets were listed as Stowage Are rocket in rocket PODS stowed below decks now required to be in a closed storage below deck stowage? container (ISO / TEU type container) or is the rocket POD a suitable storage container for The IMDG defines a closed cargo transport unit as "a unit that fully encloses the contents by permanent structures, can be secured to the ship's structure and is, except for 1.4, structurally serviceable and defined in this section. Cargo transport units with fabric sides or tops are not closed cargo transport units. The floor of any closed cargo transport unit shall either be constructed of wood, close-boarded, or so arranged that gods are stowed on sparred grating, wooden pallets, or dunnage." References are attached. Attached is a picture of 3 rocket pods. The actual rockets are stored in the circular tubes seen in the picture. I am also attaching an engineering drawing used by the U.S. Army to load the rocket pods on a vessel. The drawing was used prior to the 2012 edition of the IMDG Code and the 2013 edition of the 49 CFR being issued. Thank you for your assistance. 1#

Page 6417 This chapter contains the general provisions for the stowage of dangerous goods in all types of ships. Specific provisions applicable to, container ships, ro-ro ships, general cargo ships and barge carrying ships. Note: The term "magazine" is no longer used in the context of the IMDG Code. A magazine that is not a fixed part of the ship shall meet the provisions for a closed cargo transport unit for class 1 (see 7.1.2). A magazine that is a fixed part of the ship such as compartment, below deck area or hold shall meet the provisions Clear of living quarters means that packages or cargo transport units shall be stowed a minimum distance of Closed cargo transport unit for class 1 means a unit which fully encloses the contents by permanent struc- tures, can be secured to the ship's structure and is, except for division 1.4, structurally serviceable as defined in this section. Cargo transport units with fabric sides or tops are not closed cargo transport units. The floor of any closed cargo transport unit shall either be constructed of wood, close-boarded, or so arranged that Combustible material means material which may or may not be dangerous goods but which is casily ignited and supports combustion. Examples of combustible materials include wood, paper, straw, vegetable fibres. products made from such materials, coal, lubricants, and oils. This definition does not apply to packaging Potential sources of ignition means, but is not limited to. open fires, machinery exhausts, galley uptakes. electrical outlets and electrical equipment including those on refrigerated or heated cargo transport units Protected from sources of heat means tha! packages and cargo transport units shall be stowed at least 2.4 m from heated ship structures, where the surface temperature is liable to exceed 55°C. Examples of heated structures are steam pipes, heating coils, top or side walls of heated fuel and cargo tanks, and bulkheads of machinery spaces. in addition, packages not loaded inside a cargo transport unit and stowed on deck shall be shaded from direct sunlight. The surface of a cargo transport unit can heat rapidly when in direct sunlight n nearly windless conditions and the cargo may also become heated. Depending on the nature of the goods in the cargo transport unit and the planned voyage precautions shall be taken to ensure that exposure to Stowage means the proper placement of dangerous goods on board a ship in order to ensure safety and Stowage under deck means any stowage that is not on the weather deck.
