Transport of Dangerous Goods by Sea

The IMDG Code was developed as an international code for the maritime transport of
dangerous goods in packaged form, in order to enhance and harmonize the safe carriage of
dangerous goods and to prevent pollution to the environment. The Code sets out in detail
the requirements applicable to each individual substance, material or article, covering
matters such as packing, container traffic and stowage, with particular reference to the
segregation of incompatible substances.

A new version is published every 2 years

Transport of Dangerous Goods by Sea

• International Maritime Dangerous Goods Code (IMO IMDG
Code) of the International Maritime Organisation (IMO)

• Several SANS codes are applicable to Dangerous Goods from
the South African Bureau of Standards (SABS), e.g.:
– classification, packaging, transporting and placarding
requirements for vehicles transporting Dangerous Goods

• As of 1992 – IMDG also comprises regulation for the carriage

materials may differ depending on activity & status of
material

• Persons who handle Dangerous Goods must wear protective
equipment

• Persons coming into contact with Dangerous Goods often
subject to monitoring or health surveillance

• companies must comply with Dangerous Goods regulations:
– protecting people’s lives and property
– accidents can cost hundreds of thousands, if not millions
– Some Dangerous Goods cannot be stored together

The need for special treatment

• Accident:

In terms of the handling,

How Dangerous Cargo is distinguished from
General Cargo

• Every dangerous substance has a 4 letter UN number
• Every dangerous substance has a proper shipping name
• Every dangerous substance has a class
• Certain Dangerous Goods are assigned packaging groups (PG),

depending on level of danger

General Requirements for the storage of all Dangerous Goods

The area where Dangerous Goods are stored should be:
• Well ventilated and well lit.
• Separated from ignition sources.
• Secured from the public
• Protected from temperature fluctuations and direct sunlight.
• Shelving/cupboards should:

– Be constructed of chemically resistant materials.
– Provide a lip at the front of the shelf.

41

Segregation of Dangerous Goods within a storage area

• When held in the same storage area, Dangerous Goods should
be segregated from other Dangerous Goods or substances
with which they are not compatible.

• Storage of incompatible Dangerous Goods – for example, in
well-separated buildings reduces the possibility that an
incident involving one will affect the other.

• Systems and procedures required to ensure the segregation is
maintained at all times

42

Segregation techniques

• Segregation by distance or by the use of inert materials
• Segregation by the use of cut-off/partitioned storage areas
• Segregation by the use of detached storage
• Ensuring that incompatible goods are not stored above one

another.

Shippers responsibility

Shipper’s Responsibility
The shipper is the key to the transport of dangerous goods. They have the majority
of responsibilities prior to the carriage. In general, the shipper must properly:
 Recognise and identify that there are dangerous goods in their shipment
 Provide clear information on the nature of the goods, and classify the item into

one of the 9 dangerous goods classes
 Package the goods appropriately
 Apply the applicable markings, labels and placarding
 Complete the required documentation
 Ensure that all national and international regulations have been complied with;

and
 Ensure their shipment is made safe for transport

45

FF responsibility

Freight Forwarder’s Responsibility
FF acting as agent – limited liability - “middle man”:
 Select safe ways of transportation and handling of the goods
 Advise the shipper on all implications and requirements of the transport of the

goods and verify that the shipper has followed the regulations
Step further:
 Proper, safe handling and storage
 Proper, safe loading into trucks to transfer the items to the carrier
 Inspection of packages every time they are handled, to ensure the package is

intact for transport and handling and has not been compromised during
transportation.
 Reporting of any accidents/incidents
 Following emergency procedures in the event of an accident/incident
If the freight forwarder further expands his functions by acting as a carrier, he shall
naturally assume many of the carrier’s responsibilities

46

Carrier’s responsibility

Carrier’s Responsibility

The carrier makes the final decision whether to accept a shipment for carriage or
not. The carrier has many responsibilities in the transport of dangerous goods.
They are generally responsible for:

 Acceptance or verification that the shipment of dangerous goods has been
properly prepared for carriage.

 Provision of capable staff and appropriate equipment for transport and
handling of the goods.

 Provision of the appropriate marks, labels, placards, signs to the vehicles and
documentation.

 Storage, loading and unloading of the shipments.

 Inspection of the shipment during handling, for any leaks or damages.

 Reporting of any accidents/incidents, and corresponding emergency
procedures.

 Training of all employees that may come into contact with dangerous goods.
