The<\/span> International Maritime Dangerous Goods<\/span><\/a> (IMDG) Code is the mandatory framework for all aspects of handling dangerous goods for ocean transport which must be complied by entities such as manufacturers, packers, shippers, and in-transit shipments such as road and rail. The IMDG Code prescribes methods for classification, identification, packing, marking, labeling, stowage, and segregation to name a few. The most recent version incorporates amendment 39-18 and is authorized for use as of 1 January 2019 and mandatory as of 1 January 2020. Aside from this document, enrolling in an online hazmat training course is essential.<\/span><\/p>\n To kick off 2020 the International Maritime Organization has recently published a <\/span>Corrigenda to Amendment 39-18<\/span>.
