IBC Code (International Code for the Construction and Equipment of Ships carrying Dangerous Chemicals in Bulk)

The IBC Code (International Code for the Construction and Equipment of Ships carrying Dangerous Chemicals in Bulk) is an international set of rules designed to ensure the safe transportation of hazardous chemicals by sea. It provides standards for ship design, construction, equipment, and operational procedures to prevent accidents, spills, and pollution. The code aims to protect crew, the environment, and cargo by establishing safety measures such as fire protection, containment, and emergency response protocols. Compliance with the IBC Code helps ensure that ships carrying dangerous chemicals are built and operated safely across global maritime trade.
