Substances liable to spontaneous combustion; substances which, on contact with water, emit flammable gases
Hazardous goods fall into different classifications under the IMDG code (for examples, Explosives are Class 1 and Gases are Class 2) and need to be appropriately labelled before they are shipped. This helps all handlers on the supply chain quickly identify the cargo and move it safely. You can find all classifications on the International Maritime Organization website.
Acceptable packaging will depend on the classification and type of cargo. For all hazardous cargo, shippers must select inner and outer packaging that will not weaken or react dangerously when it comes into contact with the dangerous substance.
If the hazardous cargo could react dangerously with another substance on the vessel, the shipper needs to make sure it is kept away from that potentially harmful substance.
Faster than just ocean freight and less expensive than simple air freight. Your shipments can also be transported by combining air and ocean freight, as well as, rail trans- port. This enables us to achieve the best balance between transport time and costs.
