Dangerous goods during transport present a significant hazard because they can endanger human health, pollute the marine environment, and threaten public safety. The basic condition for the safe transport of dangerous goods by sea is to acquaint all participants in the transport process with the types of dangerous goods, their properties, possible hazards and risks during transport, as well as the basic principles and methods of protection against hazard. Therefore, international laws and regulations on transporting dangerous goods in maritime transport regulate the handling and transport of dangerous goods by ships. All types of ships can transport dangerous goods, and during transport, it is necessary to assess the risks of accidents that might occur during the handling and transport of such cargo and to handle cargo based on the risk assessment results. By informing the crew about the properties of dangerous goods being transported, holding regular accident procedures training, and acting in accordance with the IMDG Code, the risk of accidents can be reduced to a minimum.
