Many dangerous goods transport incidents and accidents occur when shipments are not declared. Vessel operators need to know when dangerous goods are in a shipment so the load can be planned and carried in accordance with the International Maritime Dangerous Goods (IMDG) Code and the vessel’s document of compliance. For example, did you know that not all DG can be carried below deck? Only when DG shipments are accurately declared in accordance with the IMDG can the logistics chain handle, load, and stow in a way that manages the risk of carrying dangerous goods.
A chain is only as strong as the weakest link. Don’t be the weak link. Declare shipments of dangerous goods.
Fangs for your attention.
