Purpose

Come along to this course and learn how to interpret and apply the International Maritime Dangerous Goods (IMDG) code and Australian Maritime Orders (AMO) to shipments of hazardous material being sent by sea. Full compliance with the Code and Orders, plus an understanding of the concepts behind them, will ensure the safety of maritime shipping (and of course the marine environment), and ensure that international laws are not broken.

​

This course is available to complete in the classroom or as computer based training. It has been designed to provide comprehensive training in the theory and practical aspects of shipping dangerous goods by sea. It examines the IMDG Code and provides you with a systematic approach to packaging and documenting a hazardous shipment for sea transport. You’ll have plenty of follow-up exercises to reinforce the knowledge acquired.

​
