Dangerous goods are those which may be a health or safety risk or may harm the environment and as such are covered by IMO regulations. Some of these are so common in our daily lives that they may go undetected: batteries, lighters, some perfumery articles...
Due to our vast experience with this kind of transport and the specific training we have received, per international IMO regulations, we can offer you comprehensive advice throughout the whole transportation process. Tell us what goods you wish to transport, the destination, type of carriage and we will advise you as to which is the most appropriate and correct type of packaging and which documents need to be completed for the transport.
All dangerous goods must be declared as such and be packed in accordance with regulatory requirements. All dangerous goods must carry a sign, mark or label in the prescribed manner.
