HAZ Dangerous Goods

Due to its hazardous nature, DG shipments are regulated under stringent rules and regulation throughout the entire transportation period.Vessel owners, container liners, port authorities, international organizations, etc., all set various requirements concerning safe transport of DG. Information and knowledge need to be shared and a large amount of documents and certificates need to be granted and delivered among different parties. All of these requirements lead to complex and demanding operations.

There is no integrated solution for DG transportation thus far, though a few carriers maintain their own in-house systems; developed individually and isolated from their competitors. Subsequently, it has long been agreed that the best way of improving safety at sea is by developing international regulations that are followed by all shipping nations, as well as a number of treaties to be adopted by the International Maritime Organization (IMO).

In addition, Thomsan Freight India Pvt Ltd ensures safe transport by observing the relevant stowage and segregation requirements of dangerous goods. This gives additional safety to the cargo, the vessel, the crew, cargo handlers and the overall environment. Thomsan Freight India Pvt Ltd's DG teams are also available to discuss all issues with regard to the different international and domestic regulations and help customers find solutions for special arrangements and exemptions via our relations to the Coast Guard and marine authorities in countries/regions​ around the world.
