Dangerous Goods

A hazardous material is a general name for flammable, explosive, strongly corrosive, toxic, and radioactive materials. Such as gasoline, explosives, strong acid, strong alkali, benzene, naphthalene, etc. It shall be handled scientifically and properly during production, transportation, storage, and destruction. Dangerous goods in shipping must be treated with extreme care and considering their danger. Any wrong dangerous goods shipping handling may cause serious consequences and disaster to the lives of people on shore or on board.

Shipping Dangerous Goods By Sea

Firstly, the hazard of the transported chemical products shall be confirmed, and the hazard level shall be clearly marked in item 14 of MSDs. When dangerous chemicals are exported by the international sea, in order to ensure the safety of dangerous goods transportation and storage, the outer packaging of dangerous chemicals needs to be approved by the commodity inspection authority. At the time of export, the local commodity inspection authority will review and finally issue a written dangerous package certificate. This dangerous package certificate must be prepared in advance. The foreign trade personnel shall provide MSDS and dangerous package Certificates in English. We shall decide whether to release the cargo according to the information on them. In a series of operations such as international maritime dangerous goods booking, trailer, customs declaration, and maritime declaration, the most important thing is time control. If the rhythm is not well controlled, the shipping schedule will be delayed, resulting in high warehouse rent and container detention, and demurrage charges.
