Transportation of Non-Radioactive
Dangerous Goods by Sea
Both Domestic (in some cases) and International shipments of Dangerous Goods by Sea must comply with the International Marine Organization (IMO) and the national regulations of the countries the shipment will start, transit through and be delivered.
At Dangerous Goods Educational Services Inc., we cover all these aspects and customize each course to your specific needs.
Our Marine courses are conducted on-site at your location to take advantage of your products, documents, and hazardous items on hand for focused examples during the training. This allows the students to apply the course material in real time to what they will be trained to do upon completion of the course.
