In particular this refers to the provisions within the latest edition of the IMDG (International Maritime Dangerous Goods) Code, which also includes specific package and vehicle labeling / placarding requirements.

In order to comply with Harbour regulations, notification is required at least 24 hours in advance (other local conditions may apply).

Please note that any such shipment may be subject to delay (or refusal) if all the requirements relating to the shipment of dangerous goods have not been fully satisfied. Please refer to the Company Conditions of Carriage (available upon request) which establishes this position.
