Cargo Shipping & Dangerous Goods
Yes, there
are actually few goods that are named as dangerous because of their chemical
and hazardous nature. Dangerous goods actually refer to a cargo that is
hazardous, in other words that has got the substance, which are covered with
the IMDG code. The cargo that is covered by this specific code is highly
dangerous because it has got flammable, poisonous and corrosive content in it. IMDG
stands for International Maritime Dangerous Goods, IMDG code is issued by the
Maritime Safety Committee associated with International Maritime Organization. For
sure people have to be really careful as this is not a general cargo where
anybody might have a will to carry Excess Baggage to Pakistan or some other country.
There are
actually many classes that are defined in order to classify different types of
dangerous goods. In this piece of content, we will be looking in to some of
those defined classes;
Explosives:
These are
particularly explosive substance, which for sure need to be highly taken care
of. Some of the explosives are more than dangerous that’s why they are not
meant for transport. If anybody wants to Send
Parcel to Pakistan and Azad Kashmir as this type of explosive, it
won’t be allowed. This also includes a type that is not explosive itself but
can make a great hazardous difference to the environment. If any of these
explosive goods are not handled with care, this can easily lead to the mass
explosion. Mass Explosion is the one that affects the entire shipment terribly.
In other words, one mishandling can lead to the loss of billions.
Radioactive:
This can
get worse than anything else because one has to be more than conscious with
radioactive material and especially in case of shipment. Radioactive material
is actually the one that contains radionuclides and it must be highly taken
care of otherwise the consequence can be unexpectedly horrible. There are also
few radioactive materials that are not considered in its class type. Such as;
Material that is implanted or injected into a human or an animal for treatment
or diagnosis purpose. Furthermore, there is also a radioactive material that is
being looked after by the establishment or the authoritative agencies. These
types of radioactive materials are not meant for this IMDG code.
Corrosive:
You
must be aware of this class because it’s thoroughly glanced over because of its
sudden destructive nature. This type of material is obsessed with the damaging
chemical reactions. These reactions can be slow and sudden also but the
consequences are really bad in both the cases. Living tissues are on a big
threat if gets in contact with this reaction. Furthermore, threat can multiply
in case of leakage because it can also destroy other good and damage the
transportation. Pak Cargo have had many shipments to Manchester, Australia and Canada having corrosive material and this
can lead to a real mess if not handled with care.
