International Maritime Dangerous Goods Code History of IMDG Code -Nowadays more than 50 % of Goods are DANGROUS Hazardous or harmful to the environment. The cargoes includes products transported in bulk, such as: solid or liquid chemicals, gases and products for and of the oil refinery. Some of them dangerous from safety point of view, and others hazardous when carried in bulk and some harmful to the Marine Environment 20% of these cargoes transported in package form including -shipborne barges on LASH, freight containers, bulk packagings, portable tanks, tank containers, road tankers, IBCs, trailers, swap bodies, and other transport units ports and shipping organization 1

International Maritime Dangerous Goods Code Second version of SOLAS in 1929 In article 24 related to DG same concept of SOLAS 1914 (not E. F due to 2 nd world war) These regulations applied only for ships and not other modes of transport and also the traffic of DG increased Third version of SOLAS in 1948 New ch. 6 added, deals with carriage of grain and DG (during the conference they understand that this ch. Is not adequate so ports and shipping organization 4

International Maritime Dangerous Goods Code Recommendation 22 (stress the importance of int. uniformity in the safety precautions) Other decisions: 1) DG BASED ON THEIR PROPERTIES AND CHARACTERISTICS 2) A LABELLING SYSTEM ALSO UNIFORM REGULATIONS TO BE DEVELOPED ports and shipping organization 5

International Maritime Dangerous Goods Code Segregation of packages containing DG and stowed in the conventional way Legend : . 1) reference package……………. . . 2) package containing incompatible goods. 3) deck resistant to fire and liquid ………… Note: full vertical lines represent transverse bulkheads btw cargo spaces resistant to fire and liquid Away from: effectively segregated so that the incompatible goods cannot interact dangerously in the event of an accident but may be transported in the same compartment or hold or on deck, provided a minimum horizontal separation of 3 meters is obtained ports and shipping organization 29

International Maritime Dangerous Goods Code Away from separated from Prohibited Stowage area 3 m 3 m Separated from: in different compartments or holds when stowed under deck. Provided the intervening deck is resistant to fire and liquid, a vertical separation, i, e, in different compartments, may be accepted as equivalent to this segregation for on deck stowage, this segregation means a separation by a distance of at least 6 meters horizontally ports and shipping organization 30

International Maritime Dangerous Goods Code Separated by a a complete compartment or hold from Separated by complete compartment or hold from Either a vertical or a horizontal separation, if the intervening decks are not resistant to fire and liquid, then only a longitudinal separation, I. e. by an intervening complete compartment or hold, is acceptable. For on deck stowage, this segregation means a separation by a distance of at least 12 meters horizontally. The same distance has to be applied if one package is stowed on deck and the other one in an upper compartment. ports and shipping organization 31

International Maritime Dangerous Goods Code Separated longitudinally by an intervening complete compartment or hold from: Vertical separation alone does not meet this requirement. Between a package under deck and one on deck, a minimum distance of 24 meters, including a complete compartment, must be maintained longitudinally.
