148.01-7—Permitted cargoes.
(a)
The solid hazardous materials cargoes listed here may be transported in bulk on board vessels if they comply with the regulations in this part. Unlisted cargoes may be transported only if express authority is given by the Commandant in accordance with § 148.01-9 of this subpart.
| Shipping name of the hazardous material | Hazard class of the hazardous materials | Characteristic properties of the material |
|---|---|---|
| Aluminum dross | Flammable solid | Contact with water may cause self heating and the evolution of flammable gas. |
| Aluminum nitrate | Oxidizing materials | If involved in a fire will greatly intensify the burning of combustible materials. |
| Ammonium nitrate containing not more than 80 pct ammonium nitrate and not less than 20 pct calcium carbonate with no more than 2 pct inorganic coating, in the form of uniform and nonsegregatable granular particles | Oxidizing material | Do. |
| Ammonium nitrate fertilizer, formulation or mixture containing less than 60 pct ammonium with no organic filler | ......do | Do. |
| Ammonium sulfate nitrate | ORM-C | If involved in a fire will intensify the burning of combustible materials. |
| Barium nitrate | Oxidizing material | If involved in a fire will greatly intensify the burning of combustible materials. |
