No part of this publication may be reproduced, stored in a retrieval system or transmitted in any form or by any means without prior permission in writing from the International Maritime Organization Foreword A Recommendation on Safe Practice on Dangerous Goods in Ports and
4、 Harbours was first circulated by the Organization in November 1973. The subsequent development of new techniques in shore and ship operations, as well as the desirability of having more comprehensive recommendations which included dangerous goods in packaged form, liquid and solid dangerous substan
5、ces and liquefied gas carried in bulk, made it necessary to revise and update the Recommendation. The Recommendation, which was originally adopted as resolution 8289(VIII), has been revised on several occasions and circulated as MSC/ Circ.299 (12 February 1981), MSC/Circ.299/Add.l (8 July 1983) and
6、MSC/ Circ.675 (30 January 1995). The 1995 edition of the Recommendations included necessary updates and some novel features, the most important of which was guidance for the implementation of the Recommendations by those Member States which were in the process of developing the regulation of the tra
7、nsport of dangerous goods and related activities in their ports. In 1996, the Maritime Safety Committee agreed that the IMDG Code should be reformatted in a style consistent with the format of the UN Model Regulations with the intention of enhancing user-friendliness, compliance with the regulations
8、 and the safe transport of dangerous goods. At its seventy-fifth session in May 2002, the Maritime Safety Committee confirmed its earlier decision to make the IMDG Code mandatory in international law. Thus, IMDG Code Amendment 3 1 became mandatory on 1 January 2004 without any transitional period un
9、der the umbrella of chapters VI and VI1 of SOLAS 74, as amended. The Recommendations are aligned with relevant IMO codes and the IMDG Code in particular. It is considered essential to harmonize the rules within the port area with the ship in order to ensure smooth operations and to avoid misundersta
10、ndings between ship and shore. The Recommendations make a distinction between “keeping” and “storage”. Dangerous cargoes temporarily in the port area as part of the transport chain are not considered as being stored as their presence is solely concerned with awaiting loading onto and further onward
11、movement by another mode of transport. Because this is an operation covered by the iii Safe Transport of Dangerous Cargoes in Port Areas Recommendations, the term “keeping” is included in the overall definition of handling. Storage, which involves the holding of substances for an indeterminate perio
12、d not directly involved with the transportation process, is considered to be outside the scope of these Recommendations and has been excluded from the definitions. Regulatory authorities may wish to regulate the storage of such substances but that would be achieved by other regulations unconnected w
13、ith the transportation process. For the purpose of these Recommendations the term “cargo interests” refers to those organizations which can be involved with the dangerous cargoes even before such cargoes reach the port area and a ship, and also includes consignors (shippers), packers, those concerne
14、d with documentation, consolidators and forwarding agents. Experience has shown that this group has a crucial role to play in the safe transport of dangerous cargoes and that the Recommendations should also apply to them. It is important to draw to the attention of the users of these Recommenda- tio
15、ns that the term “dangerous cargo” comprises oils, noxious liquid chemicals and gases carried in bulk, solid bulk materials possessing chemical hazards, solid bulk materials hazardous only in bulk, harmful substances in packaged form (covered by Annex I11 of MARFOL 73/78) as well as dangerous goods
16、in packaged form (covered by the IMDG Code). Throughout the Recommendations the terms defined in chapter 2 have been highlighted in bold italic type. A non-exhaustive glossary of relevance to the handling of dangerous cargoes is given in appendix 1 to this document. iv Contents Pase 1 Introduction 1

25、rous cargoes 1 13 1 Introduction 1.1 The entry and presence of dangerous cargoes in port areas and any consequential handling should be controlled to ensure the general safety and security of the area, the containment of the cargoes, the safety of all persons in or near the port area and the protect
26、ion of the environment. 1.2 The safety of life at sea and the safety and security of a ship, its cargo and its crew in a port area are directly related to the care which is taken with dangerous cargoes prior to loading or unloading, and during their handling. 1.3 These Recommendations are confined t
27、o dangerous cargoes which are in a port area as part of the transport chain. These Recommendations do not apply to dangerous substances which are used in a port area or are for general storage in the port area, but Governments may wish to control such use and storage by national legal requirements.
28、Should a substance covered by either of these exclusions subsequently be shipped, these Recommendations should then be applied, even though the substance is already in the port area 1.4 An essential pre-requisite for the safe transport and handling of dangerous cargoes is their proper identification
29、, containment, packaging, packing, securing, marking, labelling, placarding and documentation. This applies whether the operation takes place in a port area or at premises away from a port area 1.5 Whilst the total transport chain includes inland, port and marine elements, it is essential that every
30、 care is taken by those responsible for the matters in 1.4 and that all relevant information is passed to those involved in the transport chain and to the final consignee. Attention should be paid to the possible differing requirements for different modes of transport. 1.6 The safe transport and han
31、dling of dangerous cargoes is based on correct and accurate application of regulations for transport and handling of such cargoes and depends on appreciation by all persons concerned of the risks involved and on the full and detailed understanding of the regulations. This can only be achieved by pro
32、perly planned and carried out training and retraining of persons concerned. 1.7 Surveys carried out by regulatory authorities of many countries have indicated the need for greater training activities. Therefore, chapter 4 1 Safe Transport of Dangerous Cargoes in Port Areas has been updated in respon
33、se to those needs based on the provisions set out in chapter 1.3 of the reformatted IMDG Code. 1.8 Chapter 5 is addressed to the regulatory authority, port authority, berth operator and cargo interests and describes their roles in the transport chain of dangerous cargoes and activities in port areas
34、 in respect of such cargoes. 1.9 These Recommendations are intended to set out a standard frame- work within which legal requirements can be prepared by Governments, whether for the first time or as a revision, to ensure the safe transport and handling of dangerous cargoes in port areas These Recomm
35、endations are not intended to specify standards of construction and equipment. 1.10 The IMO has adopted over the years a number of internationally recognized codes and guides, which are of direct relevance to the safe and secure transport and handling of dangerous cargoes in port areas and which may
36、 serve as valuable sources of information in the development of national legal requirements. Appendix 2 is a bibliography which lists the relevant IMO requirements and other relevant publications. 1.1 1 The codes and guides are under continuous review and are regularly revised. It is essential that
37、only the most up-to-date editions are used. The contents of these codes and guides have been repeated in these Recommendations only to the extent necessary. 1.12 Governments should ensure that national legal requirements concerning the transport and handling of dangerous cargoes are to the greatest
38、extent possible compatible with the relevant codes and guides (see operative paragraph 2 of IMO resolution A.717(17) which “Strongly urges Governments to co-ordinate their work in the different organizations to prevent conflicts with established rules and regulations relating to the maritime transpo
39、rt of dangerous, hazardous and harmful cargoes, includ- ing environmentally hazardous substances (marine pollutants) and wastes”). 1.13 Governments may consider pursuing co-operative programmes or agreements, between Member Governments and private industry, to establish integrated supply chain safet
40、y and security standards in the transport and handling of dangerous cargoes. 2 2 Application and definitions 2.1 Application These Recommendations apply to the entry and presence of dangerous cargoes in port areas both on ship and on shore. It is intended that they should be made applicable to any s
41、hip visiting a port irrespective of its flag. They should not apply to ships stores and equipment nor to troopships and warships. 2.2 2.1 The purpose of this section is to assist those drafting national legal requirements to ensure that such requirements are as effective as possible, by covering all
42、 possible circumstances in which dangerous cargoes are present in port areas, but do not apply in circumstances which should be excluded. It is recommended that the definitions are carefully studied and used so as to prevent misunderstandings. Definitions For the purpose of these Recommendations, th
43、e following definitions apply Berth means any dock pier, jetty, quay, wharf, marine terminal or similar structure (whether floating or not) at which a ship may tie up. It includes any plant or premises, other than a ship, used for purposes ancillary or incidental to the loading or unloading of dange
44、rous cargoes. Berth operator means any person or body of persons who has for the time being the day-to-day control of the operation of a berth. Bulk means cargoes which are intended to be carried without any intermediate form of containment in a cargo space which is a structural part of a ship or in
45、 a tank permanently fvred in or on a ship. Cargo interests means a consignor (shipper), carrier, forwarder, consolida- tor, packing centre or any person, company or institution involved in any of the following activities: identification, containment, packaging, packing, securing, marking, labelling,
46、 placarding or documentation, as appropriate, of dangerous cargoes for receipt by a port and transport by sea and having control over the cargo at any time. Certificate of Fitness means a certificate issued by or on behalf of an Administration in accordance with the relevant codes for the constructi
47、on 3 Safe Transport of Dangerous Cargoes in Port Areas and equipment of a type of ship certifylng that the construction and equipment of the ship are such that certain specified dangerous cargoes may be carried in that ship. Dangerous cargoes means any of the following cargoes, whether packaged, car
48、ried in bulk packagings or in bulk, within the scope of the following instruments - oils covered by Annex I of MAFWOL 73/78; - gases covered by the Codes for the Construction and Equipment of Ships Carrying Liquefied Gases in Bulk; - noxious liquid substances/chemicals, including wastes, covered by
49、the Codes for the Construction and Equipment of Ships Carrying Dangerous Chemicals in Bulk and Annex I1 of MAFWOL 73/78; - solid bulk materials possessing chemical hazards and solid bulk materials hazardous only in bulk (MHBs), including wastes, covered by group B schedules in the Code of Safe Practice for Solid Bulk Cargoes (BC Code); - harmful substances in packaged form (covered by Annex 111 of MAFWOL 73/78); and - dangerous goods, whether substances, materials or articles (covered by the IMDG Code). The term dangerous cargoes includes any empty uncleaned packagings (such as tank-cont
