IMDG Code Supplement 2010

International Maritime Organization

The International Maritime Dangerous Goods (IMDG) Code lays out the regulatory framework for all aspects of handling dangerous goods and marine pollutants in sea transport, but does not include all details of procedures for packing of dangerous goods or actions to take in the event of an emergency or accident involving personnel who handle dangerous goods at sea. This Supplement presents the publications associated with the IMDG Code that cover these aspects of the transport of dangerous goods.

The 2010 edition of the Supplement features:
  • The EmS Guide, incorporating amendments adopted up to and including 2010
  • The Medical First Aid Guide
  • Revised Recommendations on the safe use of pesticides in ships, approved in 2010
  • The INF Code, including amendments that entered into force in 2009
  • The IMO/ILO/UNECE Guidelines for packing of cargo transport units
  • Other appropriate resolutions and circulars pertaining to the transport of dangerous goods

The IMDG Code Supplement should be of interest to maritime administrations, shipping companies, manufacturers, packers, shippers, feeder services such as road and rail, and port authorities.
