Special Cargoes
“Most of the products used in sectoral activities and daily life contain hazardous substances. NetaSafe offers services in economic conditions with its licensed and experienced staff in the transportation of special cargoes, which have an important place in trade.”
Transportation of Dangerous Goods and Special Cargoes in International Logistics
Special cargoes classified as dangerous goods constitute a significant portion of international trade and logistics operations. These special cargoes include a wide range of products such as explosives, compressed or liquefied gases, radioactive materials, aerosols, biological samples and pharmaceuticals. The transportation of such products is subject to special procedures strictly controlled by national and international legislation to protect both human health and the environment.
Why are they transported in Special Cargo Status?
Dangerous goods and special cargoes have characteristics that may cause damage to the environment, people, other cargoes or transportation vehicles during transportation. Therefore, the transportation of these products must be carried out in accordance with the classifications and regulations set by international organizations. For example, UN numbers set by the United Nations (UN) determine which hazard class a product falls into and how it should be transported. In addition, standards such as the IMDG Code (Maritime Transport), IATA DGR (Air Transport) and ADR (Road Transport) are the main regulations that guide this process.
Why Are They Subject to Special Procedures?
Safety is the top priority in the logistics of dangerous goods. The transportation of special cargoes containing hazardous substances must be carried out by specialists with the necessary certifications.
For this reason
• Certification and Certification: The products to be transported must be declared in accordance with their hazard class and transportation documents must be prepared.
• Packaging and Labeling: The products must be packaged in special packages suitable for their characteristics. In addition, appropriate labels indicating the hazard class of the product and the precautions to be taken during transportation must be present on the packages.
• Trained Personnel: All personnel involved in the transportation process must be trained in the relevant hazard classes and transportation procedures.
NetaSafe carries out services as a professional and leading company with the necessary documents and licenses on dangerous goods logistics.
Transportation and Packaging According to the Product
Each hazardous substance requires different transportation and packaging methods depending on its physical and chemical properties:
• Explosive Substances: Transported in reinforced packages that are not affected by shock and vibration.
• Gases: Compressed gas cylinders are equipped with special valves to prevent the risk of leakage or explosion during transportation.
• Radioactive Substances: Transported in protective packaging such as lead sheeting to prevent radiation leakage.
• Biological Samples and Medicines: Temperature-controlled transport vehicles and sterile packaging are used to ensure the safety and efficacy of the products.
