- Intermodal management of the transport of
dangerous goods
- Sea movement of dangerous goods (in packaged form)
Transport Canada’s responsibility mainly covers
regulatory requirements in the highly specialized field of dangerous goods
transport, including explosives, compressed gas cylinders and flammable products
in packaged form on board ships departing from or arriving in Canada or sailing
within Canada.
Ship inspectors are responsible for inspecting
dangerous goods, ensuring that cargo plans have been approved, that the goods
have been properly segregated on the ships and that the packaging of parcels in
holds and containers complies with standards.
Most of the regulatory requirements are set out in the
IMDG (International Management of Dangerous Goods) Code.
