What document is required to be produced by the shipper in certain cases before loading a bulk carrier?

A declaration of the density of the cargo to be loaded, in addition to the other information required by The Merchant Shipping (Carriage of Cargoes) Regulations. (See LOADING and DISCHARGING CARGO in Section I.) This is so as to verify compliance with the 1780 kg/m3 limit for existing ships.
