Dangerous goods

Handling dangerous goods

Combined transport connects various transport system, therefore transport of dangerous goods need to comply with all rules that apply to modes of transport that are used (IMDG Code, RID, ADR, ADN and IATA DG).

When the container unit coming from the vessel (IMDG Code) continues the journey with continental means of transportation, markings on the unit can in some cases stay unchanged. In the transport document there is text to be added: "Transport according 1.1.4.2.1 RID/ADR".

Beside the usual data required for transportation of dangerous goods Adria kombi is requiring the written statement: Transport according 1.1.4.2.1 RID/ADR signed by the consignor or the unit shall be marked according to RID/ADR prior to rail or road transport by the same.

When ordering the transport of dangerous goods from we also need a copy of signed documentation in accordance with ADR/RID 5.4.2. Requested documentation is:

• Multimodal dangerous goods form,
• signed shipper declaration and,
• signed container/vehicle packing certificate.

At the same time all containers and packages with dangerous good must be properly marked with inscriptions,labels and signs.

The safety during the whole combined transport chain has to be assured.

In case of spileage or accident, consult CEFIC.
