Correspondence Group on the Evaluation of
the Liquefaction Potential of Solid Bulk Cargoes
Circular letter No.2
Dear colleagues,
I would like to express my sincere thanks to all members of the correspondence group for your cooperation and I am sorry for the late circulation of this letter.
At present, I got the answer to circular letter No.1 from three members. Enclosure (1) is the summary of the discussion including our comments. Please let me know your opinion on any part of enclosure (1).
Enclosure (2) is the preliminary draft of the progress report of the C.G. It is not completed and your input is requested. The draft will be circulated in circular letter No.3 based on your comments.

ANNEX 3
TERMS OF REFERENCE FOR THE CORRESPONDENCE GROUP
ON EVALUATION OF THE LIQUEFACTION POTENTIAL
OF SOLID BULK CARGOES

.2 look for comparatively fine granular materials which are transported in bulk regardless of moisture content and comparatively coarse granular materials which are subject to the requirements for liquefaction materials;
.3 submit a progress report to the outcome of its intersessional work to DSC 5 and request to be allowed to work during the next intersessional period;
.4 subject to approval for the continuation of its work, conduct the liquefaction potential test for materials suitable for the evaluation of the test; and
.5 subject to approval for the continuation of its work, submit a final report of the outcome of its work to DSC 6.
