| Description | Journal: Iop Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science Some goods transported by sea can be hazardous during transport because of their chemical nature. They are classified as dangerous goods. It is estimated that more than half of packed goods and bulk cargoes transported by sea today can be regarded as dangerous, hazardous or harmful to the environment. The most significant situations during sea transportation of dangerous goods which have impact on the environment are uncontrolled release of liquid into the environment, gas emissions and waste generation. Sea transport of dangerous goods is regulated by IMO regulations, EU regulations and national legislation. It is regulated in order to prevent possible accidents and injuries, damaging goods and environment pollution. In order to ensure that such transport keeps on being profitable and environmentally friendly, emphasis is placed on the quality and condition of infrastructure, transport safety, and carefully focused supervision and control. Measures to improve the environment include detailed standards of packing, marking, labelling, documentation, stowage, quantity limitations, exceptions and notifications. This paper includes analysis of the action aimed at preventing and minimizing sea pollution caused by transportation of dangerous goods. |
