This publication provides guidance for the safe water transport of portable tanks and multiple element gas con-tainers (MEGCs) containing industrial, medical and specialty gas and liquefied gas products.
This publication addresses product characteristics, general safety aspects, preparation for shipment, stowage onboard ship, transport of containers and emergency response.
Normally during sea transport a skilled operator does not accompany these containers and this publication has been written for the guidance of parties involved in their preparation and subsequent transportation by sea. Compliance with these guidelines will, under normal conditions, help ensure safe transport by sea.
