IMDG Code 2026 Edition: Your Essential Guide to Safe Sea Transport of Dangerous Goods

The International Maritime Dangerous Goods (IMDG) Code is the cornerstone of global regulations for the safe transport of dangerous goods and marine pollutants by sea. First published in 1965, the IMDG Code has evolved to amplify the safety requirements set out in parts A and A-1 of chapter VII of the 1974 SOLAS Convention and Annex III of MARPOL, addressing the growing concern of marine pollution.

The IMDG Code 2026 edition provides comprehensive guidelines for handling dangerous goods and marine pollutants in sea transport. It outlines essential principles, detailed recommendations for specific substances, materials, and articles, and best practices for operational safety. The latest edition will be voluntary from 1 January 2027 and mandatory from 1 January 2028, ensuring your operations are compliant with up-to-date international standards.

Key Features of the IMDG Code 2026 Edition:

  • Volume 1:
    • General provisions, definitions, and training requirements
    • Classification of dangerous goods
    • Packing and tank provisions
    • Consignment procedures
    • Construction and testing of packaging, IBCs, large packagings, portable tanks, MEGCs, and road tank vehicles
    • Transport operations
  • Volume 2:
    • Dangerous Goods List, special provisions, and exceptions
    • Appendix A: List of generic and N.O.S. proper shipping names
    • Appendix B: Glossary of terms
