International Code for the Safe Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Sea (IMDG Code)

The International Code for the Safe Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Sea (IMDG Code) is a set of guidelines developed by the International Maritime Organization to ensure the safe transport of hazardous materials across oceans. It provides rules for packaging, labeling, and handling dangerous goods, such as chemicals, explosives, and radioactive materials, to prevent accidents and protect human health and the environment. By following the IMDG Code, shipping companies, crews, and ports can minimize risks associated with transporting these goods and ensure compliance with international safety standards.
