We have regular claims from shipping line for IMDG labels are missing at the transhipment port or POD . The shipping line claims an amount for re-labelling the container

My concern is when the container is gated in at POL, the labels are there , After the labels only the terminal allows us to gate in the container .

We produce the Photogragh of the container also to the shipping line showing the proof that the container was having the sticker at the time of loading at the POL.How can we fight with shipping line and waive off the said charges.

Is there any website where in I can have information on the what type of IMDG labels are required on the containers by sea mode and who is responsible when the goods are in water if the labels is pilled out , may be due to any reason such as weather , moisture .etc…

Please advise .

Hello,

I need to know pls what are the regulations concerning the liability of each entity concerning the labeling of the goods and the container when shipping dangerous class 8 goods by sea?

The cargo is properly packed inside the container with the correct label on the gallons. My question is regarding the labels that should be put on the container from the outside. Is this a requirement when shipping Class 8 goods? If so, who is responsible for this when it is an Ex-Works shipment?

Thank you,
AMN

In reply to Jovel. @Jovel: Did you mean discharge packaged cargo at sea? It can be done under emergency circumstances only.

Is there any provisions that allows a vessel carrying dangerous goods either packed or not can discharge at sea?

if it has, since most of it is in package form, is criteria essential in discharging?

In reply to Ron. @Ron: The IMDG code provides document for the dangerous cargo which is applicable in any place, whether it is in land, sea, or on ship berthed in port.

HI Anish
Great article – a question please.
I am associated with a port operator that received a number of leaking (chemical) containers. I am new to the ports industry and I detect some disagreement here. Is IMDG relevant and useful to berthed vessels would you say? – emergency response, containment, safe management? Or is it more usefully applicable to vessels at sea?
Appreciate your guidance.
Ron

In reply to Alicia Ferrier. @It depends on various factor such as how the dangerous cargo will react with others. The best way is to ship them separately.
