Re: Atex For Shiploading
If you have sparky stuff poking about down in the coaler's hold then it had better meet the ATEX regulations & very rightly so.
The trick is to keep electrical bits away from the hold; which for bulk shiploading is pretty easy after all. ■
Re: Atex For Shiploading
I have some sensors and a trimming spoon with 2 electrical drives. Those I classified to ATEX - demands, only I'd very much like to know whether someone really met this problem and which assumptions for the classification / formalism were made.
Thanks for answering!

ATEX for shiploading
Hallo,
I'd like to know if there are any country - specific or port - specific regulations towards shiploading systems for handling coal regarding ATEX. I' m especially interested if there's some knowledge somewhere about the development of dust / CO - gases within a bulkers cargo hold when loaded. Did someone judged it necessary to employ ATEX-rules to electrical equipment that reaches into the vicinity / right into the cargo hold?
Many thanks in advance (as I'll be out of office sometimes..)
