Questions about IMDG.
What is the IMDG Code?
It is the International Maritime Organization (IMO) code for the carriage of dangerous goods by sea. It sets classification, packaging, labelling, documents and the segregation rules between incompatible goods on board and in the container.
Do you ship dangerous goods in sea groupage?
Yes, when the goods and destination allow it. Not all classes are accepted in groupage and each shipping line has its own conditions: we check feasibility before confirming the shipment, otherwise we propose a full container.
What do you need for a quote?
The safety data sheet of the goods, quantity and type of packaging, pickup location and port or city of destination. With these details we check acceptance with the shipping line and prepare our proposal.
Do you also handle transport to the port?
Yes. We arrange pickup and road transfer under ADR to the port of loading, as well as customs operations: the shipment is followed by a single contact from start to finish.
