IMDG Code

The International Maritime Dangerous Goods (IMDG) Code is a set of regulations created by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) to ensure the safe transport of hazardous materials by sea. It provides guidelines for identifying, packing, labeling, and stowing dangerous goods to prevent accidents, protect the crew, the environment, and the cargo. The IMDG Code is crucial for shipping companies, port authorities, and anyone involved in maritime transport, as it helps mitigate risks associated with shipping chemicals, explosives, flammable substances, and other potentially harmful materials.
