IMDG Code is the mandatory regulations for transport of dangerous goods and marine pollutants in packaged form by sea. Established to minimize risks in maritime operations, it mandates training for shoreside staff under Chapter 1.3, ensuring compliance with international laws.
This training is vital for preventing accidents, protecting lives, property, and the environment during shipping, packing, and port activities. By equipping personnel with knowledge on classification, packaging, labeling, and documentation, the IMDG Code enhances overall maritime safety and facilitates efficient global trade in hazardous materials.
