ransporting dangerous goods is not an easy task. All safety measures must be strictly observed, certificates must be provided, and containers must be labeled.

Transporting dangerous goods is not an easy task. All safety measures must be strictly observed, certificates must be provided, and containers must be labeled.

There are also transportation peculiarities: some lines refuse to transport dangerous goods by sea, especially if the same container contains goods from several senders. There are also problems with liquid cargo, especially when transported in Eurocubes: the latter are not as strong as barrels, so they are often not taken on board either.

If possible, we recommend transporting dangerous goods by road. This is how a batch of paint was transported from China to Novosibirsk through the border crossing in the Khabarovsk Territory. Paint is a very flammable cargo, so it was assigned hazard class 3; the Eurocubes were loaded onto a truck and successfully transported across the border.
