Abstract |
In order to prevent damage to goods and injury to people on board ships, the implementation of the IMDG code for the transport of dangerous goods by sea has been made mandatory as from 1January 2004. The transport of dangerous substances on roll-on roll-off ships in the Baltic Sea is regulated by the Paris Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) (Riga 2002 version), a multilateral agreement among countries bordering the Baltic Sea. Details are given of the differences between these two texts in provisions relating to the storage and separation of dangerous substances. It is questioned whether it is relevant, from the point of view of maritime safety, to continue to apply the provisions of the MoU to roll-on roll-off ships transporting dangerous substances in the Baltic region. |
