Verification of Granule Size Declaration for Prilled Bulk Urea Shipment

According to the shipper declaration, the cargo was described as 'PRILLED BULK UREA 46 PCT MINIMUM NITROGEN FERTILIZER GRADE', but there was no mention of the granule size. This omission raises concerns as the size of the granules can significantly impact the cargo's behavior during transport, particularly with regards to its flow characteristics and potential for dust generation. The cargo falls under group C as per the IMSBC code, which classifies it as a cargo that may liquefy if shipped at a moisture content exceeding its transportable moisture limit (TML). While the moisture content at the time of shipment was stated to be 0%, the absence of information about the granule size creates an information gap that could potentially lead to handling and safety issues during transportation.
