Description

The use of freight containers, swap bodies, vehicles or other cargo transport units substantially reduces the physical hazards to which cargoes are exposed. However, improper or careless packing of cargoes into/onto such units may be the cause of personnel injury or serious and costly damage to the cargo or equipment. A great many people in the transport chain rely on the skill of those working in cargo transport units, including road vehicle drivers and other road users, rail workers, crew members of vessels on inland waterways, handling staff at transfer terminals, dock workers, crew members of seagoing ships, those inspecting cargoes and those who unpack the units. This code of practice outlines best practices for cargo transport units. Co-published with the IMO and UNECE.
