THE Cargo Integrity Group industry bodies continue in their mission to improve safety in the global supply chain, according to the ichca Press Release.
The Group has identified several cargoes commonly carried in containers that can cause dangerous incidents under certain conditions.
They urge everyone handling these goods to follow all applicable regulations, the CTU Code, and industry best practices.
In addition to promoting sound packing and shipping practices, the Cargo Integrity Group aims to increase awareness about the types of goods, often less obvious, that can compromise safety in the container supply chain under certain conditions.
The Group has identified fifteen such 'Cargoes of Concern' that are commonly transported by sea and intermodally.
While these are usually transported safely when regulations and guidelines are followed, the Group has created this list to highlight cargoes that can become hazardous if handled incorrectly.
They emphasize that cargoes that are mis-declared or have incomplete or incorrect information about their identity are more likely to be involved in incidents.
