Safety Issue
The odour of carbon disulphide vapours from xanthates containers
on board Kota Pahlawan indicated that the xanthates were
not hermetically sealed strictly in accordance with the
International Maritime Dangerous Goods Code and there was an
increased risk of a fire or toxic exposure incident.
Safety Advisory Notice
The Australian Transport Safety Bureau advises that shippers,
receivers, consignees and importers of xanthates should consider
the safety implications of this safety issue and take action when
considered appropriate.
