Description

The IMDG Code has undergone many changes through the years, in both format and content, in an effort to stay alongside of the rapid expansion of the shipping industry. Amendment 38-16 includes revisions to more than a few sections of the Code and to transport requirements for specific substances. It used to be adopted by IMO’s Maritime Safety Committee (MSC) at its ninety-sixth session in May 2016. Amendment 38-16 of the Code is mandatory as from 1 January 2018 but could also be applied by Administrations in whole or in part on a voluntary basis from 1 January 2017. The two-volume Code is divided into seven parts: Volume 1 (parts 1, 2, 4, 5, 6 and 7 of the Code) accommodates sections on: general provisions, definitions and training classification packing and tank provisions consignment procedures construction and testing of packagings, IBCs, large packagings, portable tanks, MEGCs and road tank vehicles transport operations Volume 2 accommodates part 3 (Dangerous Goods List, special provisions and exceptions), appendices A and B (generic and N.O.S. Proper Shipping Names, and glossary of terms) and an index. Regulating the carriage of dangerous goods Many maritime countries have taken steps to control the carriage of dangerous goods by sea, based on the safety considerations set out in parts A and A-1 of chapter VII of the 1974 SOLAS Convention, as amended. More recently, as marine pollution has grow to be a serious concern, countries have taken further steps to control the carriage of marine pollutants, as described in Annex III of MARPOL. The International Maritime Dangerous Goods Code, which used to be first published in 1965, amplifies the requirements of both Conventions and has grow to be the usual guide to all aspects of handling dangerous goods and marine pollutants in sea transport.
