IMDG Code Amendment 33 - 12: the changes explained
Many millions of tonnes of packaged dangerous goods are transported each year. Most consignments are quite safely received, handled and conveyed, but serious accidents can happen if the relevant regulations are not met. The International Maritime Dangerous
Goods (IMDG) Code is intended to ensure that carriage of dangerous goods by sea can be conducted safely. It has been mandatory since 2004, under the provisions of the SOLAS (Safety of Life at Sea) Convention and updated every two years by the International
Maritime Organisation (IMO).
See a review of the latest amendments.

Liner 'Cargo Incident Notification System' is an emerging power
The Cargo Incident Notification System (CINS) was formed by leading liner shipping companies to allow seaborne carriers to share information in order to establish areas of concern and trends, and improve safety in the transport chain. An impressive first year
of operation demonstrates the power of this database – and confirms worries in relation to dangerous goods.

Be competent handling dangerous goods - there's an app for that!
The IMDG Code mandates training for all shore side staff involved in consigning dangerous goods for sea transport. Requiring training is straight-forward, delivering it effectively is a challenge. While there are no short cuts, there are an increasing number
of aids to ensure that nobody really has excuses for compromising safety in the supply chain.
We provide details around some of these aids.
