Sea transport of dangerous goods is governed by the International Maritime Dangerous Goods Code, (IMDG Code).
Dangerous goods transported on a vehicle where the journey involves a sea voyage will be subject to the IMDG Code when the vehicle is on-board the ship or ferry. The IMDG Code rules are more prescriptive than those in ADR.
Similarly, for exporters that ship dangerous goods by sea, there are more detailed rules: for example, sea transport shipments will not usually be accepted by shipping-lines without an accompanying transport document in the form of a Dangerous Goods Note – DGN.
Certain small packages of low-danger dangerous goods may be shipped by sea as Limited Quantities. Shippers using these methods can save money by lower packaging and shipping costs.
Our sea transport service includes:
· Vehicle marking and placarding guidance
· Guidance on completion of the DGN
· Selection of appropriate packaging
