Compatibility & Segregation
Cargo compatibility should of course be always considered when planning a stowage, and many of the chemical guides include a compatibility feature.
The USCG Compatibility Chart remains the main method used throughout the industry, however on-line (or off-line with the correct download) cross-checking of two, or indeed multiple, products is available through CAMEO Chemicals.
The articles below discuss the use of Cameo Chemicals and Cargo Segregation in full.
Inadequate cargo segregation be it liquid or vapour, remains the primary cause of cargo contamination with the industry and the only prevention is by employing positive segregation between differing grades and parcels at all times.
