\u00a0<\/span>When dangerous goods are required to be shipped by vessel, it is mandatory to abide by several key regulations. For the transport of dangerous goods these regulations are codified in the<\/span> IMDG Code<\/span><\/a> (International Maritime Dangerous Goods Code). In addition, the requirements of 49 CFR must also be followed when shipping of dangerous goods by vessel involves the United States and its territories. The U.S. Hazardous Materials Regulations authorize use of the IMDG Code as a means of compliance with the HMR when at least one segment of transport involves sea transport. This authorization can be found in<\/span> \u00a7171.22\u00a0 <\/a><\/strong>\u00a0Authorization and conditions for the use of international standards and regulations<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n If your job involves shipping, handling and\/or transportation of dangerous goods by vessel, you can obtain the <\/span>IMDG (IMO) shipping by vessel online hazmat training<\/span><\/a> from Hazmat University.
