Chromium Ore

Description
Yellow, crystalline high-density solid.
Also known as Chromic Iron, Chromite Ore and Lead Chromate. Soluble in acids and alkalis, insoluble in water.
Heating causes decomposition, forming toxic fumes of lead.
A characteristic of chromium ore is that it can settle into a compact mass during the voyage making it impossible to discharge from containers by gravity. Chromium ore contains more than 3 to 4% moisture and in settling may behave like a slimy mass as a result of the movements of the ship. Must not be placed in contact with manganese ore. Exposure limit covers all hexavalent chromium compounds as Cr.
Reference is made to the relevant IMO regulations of hazardous cargo.
