As we all know, 33rd amendment of the IMDG Code officially comes in force on 1st January 2008.
For complying with this enforcement with no difficulty by this date, we decided that the transition period from 32nd to 33rd ed., which allows the dangerous goods shipment to be approved by either of edition, shall be ended on 31st October 2007.
Therefore, all dangerous goods applications submitted after 1st November 2007 must be based on only 33rd amdt , and 32nd amdt based cargoes shall not be acceptable after this exact date.
This change is also concerned with K-Line booking cargoes loaded in our parter carriers' vessels.
IMDG Code 33rd Amendment
The IMDG code is amended every two years based on TRANSPORT OF DANGEROUS GOODS-MODEL REGULATIONS issued by United Nations. The IMDG code 33rd amendment that takes in TRANSPORT OF DANGEROUS GOOD-MODEL REGULATIONS 14th revised edition was adopted at MSC (IMO'S Maritime Safety Committee) 81st session on May 2006. The code will enter into force on 1 Jan. 2008.
Meanwhile ICAO TI(Technical Instructions for The Safe Transport of Dangerous Goods by AIR), ADR(European Agreement Concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous Good by Road) and RID(International Regulations Concerning the Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Rail) that take in TRANSPORT OF DANGEROUS GOOD-MODEL REGULATIONS 14th revised edition would be effective as from 1 Jan. 2007, therefore some discrepancies have arisen between ICAO TI, ADR/RID and IMDG code during transitional period(1 Jan. to 31st Dec. 2007).
IMO recommends applying this code from 1 Jan. 2007 on a voluntary basis, pending their official entry into force on 1 Jan. 2008 without any transition period in order to facilitate multimodal transportation of dangerous goods.

III Other revisions
(1) | Default Firework Classification System |
Fireworks shall usually be assigned to hazard divisions on the basis of test data derived from the United Nations Manual of Test and Criteria.

Such assignment shall be made with the agreement of the competent authority. | |

There is a new classification of “Waste Aerosols” in UN 1950, AEROSOLS. It may be transported under UN 1950 for the purposes of reprocessing or disposal. But ALL KINDS OF “WASTES” are already prohibited dangerous goods under K Line policy. ---------------------- Info from http://www.kline.com/KAMCompliance/Dangerous_Goods_Prepare_IMDG_Amendment_33.asp |
Shipping by sea
The respective meaning of the terms FCL, LCL, CY, and CFS is as follows:
FCL | full container load; full carload | |
LCL | less than container load; loose container load; less than carload; loose carload | |
CY | container yard | |
CFS | container freight station |
The FCL means the load reaches its allowable maximum (or full) weight or measurement. In practice, however, the FCL in the ocean freight does not always mean packing a container to its full payload or full capacity. For example, an exporter books a 20' container that is intended for a consignee at FCL flat rate of US$1,500. If the consignment occupies 500
If an exporter intends to pack a container to the full capacity or full payload with the consignments of two or more consignees for the same destination, the case is LCL and the carrier will charge the LCL freight rate on each consignment. In the LCL arrangement, the shipper is required to deliver the cargo to the carrier's container freight station for containerization, thus there is no guarantee that the two or more consignments from the same exporter will share the same container. In some cases, the exporter is allowed to pack the container at their premises in the LCL arrangement, and then the carrier uses that same container to pack in more cargo from other shipper(s) to make a full container load at the container freight station.
Referring to the Case Sample: Container Selection (1), if the importer maintains the order at 1,500 cartons and no forwarder is involved, and if the high cube container service is not available, it may mean that there will be one 40' FCL plus 135 cartons LCL. A combination of FCL and LCL in a consignment, which is a typical aftermath from the cargo overflow, is a poor exporting and importing practice, taking into account the additional freight and other charges in both countries. All 1,500 cartons can be shipped by LCL, but the freight cost can be higher and the cargo may be exposed to a higher risk of damage and loss.
The container freight station (CFS) is operated by the carrier for the receipt, forwarding, and assembling or disassembling of cargo. Normally, the container freight station is a customs clearance center.
The CFS service may be necessary under any of the following circumstances:
Modes of CY and CFS Container Services
In a related term door-to-door service, which is often used in the cargo forwarding and may involve the LCL, refers to a type of freight service available from a forwarder whereby the cargo is picked up at the consignor's premises and delivered to the consignee's premises.
