Description

The Marine Pro Academy IMDG Code – Dangerous Goods by Sea Awareness Training provides practical, up-to-date awareness of the safe transport of dangerous goods in packaged form by sea.

The course is aligned with the IMDG Code 2024 Edition incorporating Amendment 42-24, which became mandatory on 1 January 2026.

It is designed to help shipboard and shore-based personnel recognize dangerous-goods requirements, identify common compliance risks and understand when specialist or authorized action is required.

What You Will Learn

The course develops practical awareness of:

the role and purpose of the IMDG Code
dangerous-goods classification and hazard recognition
UN identification and shipping-name principles
packaging, marking, labelling and placarding awareness
documentation requirements
cargo transport unit considerations
stowage and segregation principles
marine pollutant awareness
special cargo considerations
shipboard handling and loading risks
emergency-response references and escalation
recognition of non-compliance and unsafe conditions

The course uses realistic maritime scenarios and operational examples to strengthen recognition and decision-making rather than simply memorizing Code provisions.

Updated for 2026

The IMDG Code 2024 Edition, including Amendment 42-24, entered into force on 1 January 2026 and is now the mandatory edition for applicable dangerous goods carried in packaged form by sea.

The training reflects this current regulatory position and introduces learners to the practical safety principles that support compliant dangerous-goods transport.

deck officers and ratings
cargo and terminal personnel
shore-based operations teams
shipping and logistics personnel
superintendents

personnel requiring general IMDG awareness

Certificate

Upon successful completion of the course and final assessment, learners receive a Marine Pro Academy Certificate of Completion.

This course provides IMDG awareness training and does not by itself authorize a learner to classify dangerous goods, sign regulated transport documentation, approve packaging, determine formal segregation arrangements, or perform duties requiring function-specific training or employer/authority authorization.

Why This Course Matters

Dangerous-goods compliance depends on more than recognizing a hazard label.

Safe transport requires correct identification, documentation, packaging, communication, stowage, segregation and timely action when something does not match the applicable requirements.

This course helps learners recognize those risks and understand when to stop, verify and escalate.
