Container carriers are encouraged to adopt the guidelines as applicable. It is noted that they shall be read in conjunction with the requirements for the stowage of Dangerous Goods, namely the IMDG Code, SOLAS and the ship’s Document of Compliance for Carriage of Dangerous Goods, as well as any requirements set by the Flag State of the ship.
