Effect of soybean seed cake fractions for safety in maritime transport

Loose cohesionless bulk cargoes in its composition contain fractions of different size of particles. Some of them are included into the dustiness fractions. One of these solid bulk cargoes is soybean seed cake. It contains in its composition fractions of different sizes. Constantly increasing demand for the bulk cargoes, has increased the interest in the issue of maritime security. Soybean seed cake is transported by various means of transport, including maritime transport. As it is characterized by loose cargo tends to pour athwart on board, which may lead to displacement of the center of ship’s gravity and in consequences may have led to the capsizing of the vessel. In this article influence of small fractions of soybean seed cake one size of the static angle of repose, kinetic (natural) angle of repose, bulk density and porosity in terms of safety of the transport of soybean cake by the sea is presented. The results were shown in the graphs and were statistically elaborated.
