Dangerous Goods (DG)

Dangerous Goods (DG) are substances or items that can form a risk to people, property, or the environment during transport. These could be goods such as chemicals, batteries, or even everyday products like cleaning products and aerosols.

Dangerous Goods are subject to strict regulations covering their classification, packaging, labeling, and transportation. Therefore, we ensure full compliance with these rules by following international standards and investing in continuous training. This allows our team to stay well-prepared and up to date on all safety procedures, helping us protect our people, our clients, and everyone involved in the supply chain.

On this page you will find our standard DG packaging requirements, as well as additional information on how to properly handle DG shipments. This information is important for anyone involved in shipping, handling, or receiving goods classified as DG, whether you’re a supplier, freight forwarder, or vessel operator.
