Dangerous goods move safely at sea only when everyone in the chain can actually use the IMDG Code — not merely point to it on a shelf. This masterclass builds general awareness and working familiarity with the IMDG Code 2016 edition, incorporating amendment 38–16: classification, packing, handling, carriage, stowage and segregation of the various classes of dangerous goods. The cohort works through the surrounding regulatory architecture — SOLAS, MARPOL, ISPS and the CSC Convention, plus local and national requirements — the legal responsibilities of shippers including ADR in the EU, cargo transport units with their marking, labelling and placarding, and the security provisions the Code demands.
