IMDG Code certification (Amdt. 41-22)

At Seafreight.biz, safety and professionalism in handling dangerous goods are of central importance. We ensure that our processes meet the highest international standards. This includes strict compliance with the regulations of the International Maritime Dangerous Goods (IMDG) Code.

IMDG Code certification ensures that all international regulations for the transportation of dangerous goods by sea are observed. The IMDG Code, a globally recognized guideline of the International Maritime Organization (IMO), regulates the safe transport of dangerous goods by sea and specifies detailed requirements for packaging, stowage, marking and documentation.

Advantages of IMDG code certification

• Safety: the protection of people, the environment and the ship is guaranteed by strict compliance with safety regulations.

• Legal compliance: Certification ensures that the transportation of dangerous goods complies with all international regulations, providing legal certainty.

• Efficient handling: Thanks to the clear structure of the code, efficient processes and smooth procedures are guaranteed.

• Avoidance of risks: The exact classification of dangerous goods and the defined handling methods minimize potential risks.

Energy Efficiency

Ships are being equipped with advanced propulsion systems and hull designs that reduce energy consumption. This includes using more efficient engines and optimizing the ship's shape to minimize water resistance.

Sustainable Logistics

Green container shipping also includes optimizing the entire supply chain. This means not only making the ships themselves more environmentally friendly, but also making port logistics and land transport more sustainable.

Alternative Fuels

Many shipping companies are experimenting with alternative fuels such as LNG (liquefied natural gas), hydrogen or biofuels to reduce CO2 emissions. These fuels can significantly reduce environmental impact.

Standards

There are various initiatives and standards that encourage shipping companies to implement environmentally friendly practices. These include, for example, the Energy Efficiency Design Index (EEDI) and the Energy Efficiency Operational Indicator (EEOI).

Emissions Technologies

The use of exhaust gas cleaning technologies, such as scrubbers, helps reduce emissions of sulfur oxides. Systems are also being developed to reduce nitrogen oxides and particulate matter.

Research & Information

The industry is investing in research and development to explore new technologies that can further reduce environmental impact. These include, among others, the use of wind and solar technologies to support propulsion.
