The International Maritime Dangerous Goods (IMDG) Code is a set of international regulations designed to ensure the safe transport of hazardous materials by sea. It categorizes dangerous goods, such as chemicals and explosives, and provides guidelines for their packaging, labeling, and handling. This code helps protect the safety of ships, crews, and the environment by preventing accidents and spills during shipping. Compliance with the IMDG Code is mandatory for all vessels carrying hazardous materials, promoting consistency and safety in global maritime trade.
