    Lesson 1 IMDG Code

    Uploaded by

    Bernard Mamora
    The document discusses the International Maritime Dangerous Goods (IMDG) Code, which provides regulations for the safe transport of dangerous cargoes by sea. It originated from SOLAS conventions in the early 20th century and was standardized in 1965. The IMDG Code classifies dangerous goods into 9 classes based on their primary hazard, and provides packaging, labeling and documentation standards to help transport these cargoes safely while protecting life, ships and the environment. It aims to harmonize the regulations for dangerous cargo transport globally.
