Abstract	Recommendations proposed in an International Maritime Organization (IMO) draft code of practice for the safe loading and unloading of bulk carriers are discussed. The recommendations fall roughly into five groups, one of a general nature, one dealing with information exchange between ships and shore while the ship is approaching the port, one covering agreed procedures between the ship and the terminal, and the other two covering loading and unloading respectively, of cargo and ballast. It is likely that the recommendations will be approved by the IMO Maritime Safety Committee in May 1966.
