Q

What product is considered a noxious liquid substance for regulatory purposes?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Noxious Liquid Substances (NLS) categories under MARPOL Annex II and their meaning • How certain common cargoes are classified in the IBC Code (International Bulk Chemical Code) and 46 CFR for bulk liquid cargoes • Difference between bulk liquid chemicals and products normally shipped as oil-like products or molten solids

💭 Think About

• Which of these products is normally carried as a bulk liquid chemical cargo on chemical tankers and appears in NLS/IBC Code lists? • Are any of these more commonly associated with oil-like cargo or molten solid cargo instead of a chemical tanker cargo? • How would you distinguish between something that is a regulated noxious liquid substance and something that is an oil or solid for MARPOL purposes?

✅ Before You Answer

• Look up which substance is listed in MARPOL Annex II / IBC Code as an NLS cargo • Verify which cargoes are actually liquid at carriage temperature and carried in chemical tankers • Confirm which options are not classified as an NLS because they fall under other categories (e.g., oil, solid, or other MARPOL annexes)
