This time let’s take a look at transportation of chemical DG cargo.

Firstly, understand the basic properties of chemicals. In order to safely ship chemicals in marine transportation, it’s necessary to understand the basic properties of chemicals, such as UN number, DG class, toxicity, ignition point, volatility, etc., and specially indicate in relevant documents.

Secondly, comply with DG cargo transportation rules and operate correctly. Such as strong package with labels.

Thirdly, pay more attention to loading container.

Truck staff who transport DG cargo must require qualification certificate.  

When picking up containers, it’s necessary to check containers carefully if there are cracks and if the door can be closed tightly, etc.

It should avoid naked flames and high temperatures when load containers to effectively prevent the explosion and volatilization of chemicals and ensure the safety and health.

It’s also necessary to take photos and videos when load containers and upload them on website for vertification.

Finally, considering the characteristics of DG cargo in chemical, we usually book direct lines to avoid safety hazards during transitting. Besides, we have to submit shipping docs to customers timely to avoid delay in custom clearance at the destination port.
