IBC Code (International Bulk Chemical Code)

The International Bulk Chemical (IBC) Code is an international safety regulation that sets standards for transporting hazardous chemicals in bulk by ships. It ensures proper design, construction, and operation of tanks and containers to prevent leaks, spills, and accidents at sea. The IBC Code helps protect crew, the environment, and maritime vessels by establishing guidelines on stability, safety measures, and communication procedures. Compliance with this code is mandatory for ships carrying dangerous chemicals, promoting safe, consistent handling and transportation across global shipping industries.
