The latest CINS guidance publication “Guidelines for the Safe Carriage of Charcoal in Containers” has been published, in conjunction with the International Group of P&I Clubs and the TT Club.

The practices set out in the document are intended to improve safety during the carriage of Charcoal – and to ensure that it is properly prepared, declared and packaged

The Guidelines confirm that Charcoal shall be transported in compliance with the requirements set out in the International Maritime Dangerous Goods Code (IMDG Code). However, these Guidelines are intended to dovetail with this by providing additional precautions to enhance safe carriage.
