Frequently asked questions

Explore our FAQs for quick, clear guidance.

Requests for cargo that exceeds standard dimensions are classified as out-of-gauge (OOG) and must be reviewed by the port’s technical department at least 48 hours before departure.

The most common issues relate to differences between ADR and IMDG codes, including flashpoint thresholds, marine pollutant classifications, container/vehicle packing certificate compliance, and conflicting UN numbers. The solution is to strictly follow IMDG regulations for all sea transport and ensure that documentation, labelling, and packaging comply with those standards.
