Frequently Asked Questions
What are hazardous goods and how are they shipped?
Hazardous goods are substances that pose risks to health, property, or the environment. They’re classified using SDS/UN numbers and packing groups, packed in UN‑certified packaging, labeled and segregated by compatibility, and moved only with carrier approval and the right permits; documentation like a dangerous‑goods declaration is mandatory. Transport follows strict rules, air is heavily restricted for many classes, and trained handlers plus carrier pre‑qualification are essential to avoid fines, delays, or rejected loads.
How is oil shipped?
Oil shipping covers crude and refined products (gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, fuel oil) and moves by large tankers (VLCC, Suezmax, Aframax), coastal barges, pipelines, and inland tank trucks or railcars. Tanker operations use double‑hulled vessels, inert gas systems, and sometimes heated tanks for heavy grades, with loading and discharge handled at specialist terminals under tight MARPOL and SOLAS rules. Commercial factors like chartering terms, demurrage, and port restrictions drive cost and scheduling, and improper handling risks spills, detentions, and major supply disruption.
How is liquefied natural gas (LNG) shipped?
LNG is natural gas cooled to about ‑162°C so it becomes a dense, transportable liquid; it’s moved in specialized LNG carriers with cryogenic containment systems. Carriers manage boil‑off gas via reliquefaction systems or by using it as fuel, and all LNG shipments require dedicated liquefaction and regasification terminals plus strict IGC code and port safety procedures. Fleet capacity is limited and bookings need long lead times, which raises costs and makes schedule reliability a key risk factor.
