The International Maritime Dangerous Goods (IMDG) Code, published by the International Maritime Organization (IMO), is the global standard for shipping hazardous materials by sea. The 2024 Edition (Amendment 42-24) replaces the 2022 Edition and becomes mandatory on January 1, 2026.

Key regulations include:

• International Maritime Dangerous Goods (IMDG) Code – 2024 Edition, Amendment 42-24
• U.S. DOT Hazardous Materials Regulations – 49 CFR §172

Individuals taking this course and working on U.S. or foreign vessels operating in the navigable waters of the United States also need our DOT Hazardous Materials General/Security Awareness and Function Specific (49 CFR §172) training.

If you don't already have a copy, you'll need to purchase the International Maritime Dangerous Goods IMDG Code both for reference purposes in your day-to-day shipping operations, and while taking this course.
