Each terminal will have the qualification of handling dangerous goods, and the operation permits of each terminal will differ from different dangerous goods. Generally speaking, general cargo enjoys more free storage days than dangerous goods do. According to the different standards of different shipping companies, there is even no storage-free period for dangerous goods, which means that dangerous goods will incur storage costs after entering the wharf. This is also the reason why it’s more difficult to handle dangerous goods.
According to different regulations of the ports, some dangerous goods are not allowed to be stacked in the wharf, due to the ports’ qualification of handling dangerous goods and the risk of some dangerous goods. In this situation, only direct loading and unloading can be carried out. This means that these dangerous goods are not allowed to be unloaded from the trailer to the dock for storage. In this case, how can we arrange the dangerous goods on board smoothly?
1. Container loading. This kind of goods is the same process as other dangerous goods. The empty container is dragged to the factory for loading, and then the container is returned to the dock for customs declaration and maritime declaration.
2. After customs declaration and maritime declaration has been done, containers are not allowed to be unloaded from the trailer and placed in the dock. The container and trailer will be beside the ship waiting for the ship to arrive, and the container will be unloaded from the trailer onto the ship.
Among the direct loading dangerous goods we operated, most of them are IMO Class 2.1, 5 and 6 dangerous goods. For example, NANSHA port is not qualified to stockpile Class 2 dangerous goods, so direct loading is required for the operation of Class 2 dangerous goods. In addition, there are other goods that are not allowed to operate according to the regulations of the port. We will help to develop unique logistics plans for these special goods, so that the goods can be exported smoothly.
