IMO/ILO/UNECE Code of Practice for Packing of Cargo Transport Units (CTU Code). by International Labour Office,International Maritime Organization Pdf
The use of freight containers, swap bodies, vehicles or other cargo transport units substantially reduces the physical hazards to which cargoes are exposed. However, improper or careless packing of cargoes into/onto such units may be the cause of personnel injury or serious and costly damage to the cargo or equipment. A great many people in the transport chain rely on the skill of those working in cargo transport units, including road vehicle drivers and other road users, rail workers, crew members of vessels on inland waterways, handling staff at transfer terminals, dock workers, crew members of seagoing ships, those inspecting cargoes and those who unpack the units. This code of practice outlines best practices for cargo transport units. Co-published with the IMO and UNECE.
Contents: Scope of guidance; The problem; Legal and international requirements; The packer; The shipper; The freight forwarder; The haulier. Also includes: Examples of IMDG placards, marks and signs; Texts for packers' pocket card; Text for drivers' pocket card and a checklist of legal duties.

Revised Recommendations on the Safe Transport of Dangerous Cargoes and Related Activities in Port Areas by International Maritime Organization Pdf
Guidance on the safe transport of dangerous cargoes (covering oils, noxious liquid chemicals and gases carried in bulk, solid bulk materials possessing chemical hazards, solid bulk materials hazardous only in bulk, harmful substances in packaged form) and related activities in port areas as part of the transport chain was first circulated by the IMO in 1973. This is the 3rd edition of the guidance which includes a new chapter on security provisions, a new annex on fumigation of cargo areas, a new glossary of terminology and up-to-date recommendations for the IMDG Code and other relevant codes.

Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods by United Nations. Committee of Experts on the Transport of Dangerous Goods Pdf
These recommendations have been developed in the light of technical progress, the advent of new substances and materials, the exigencies of modern transport systems and, above all, the requirement to ensure the safety of people, property and the environment. They are addressed to governments and international organisations concerned with the regulation of the transport of dangerous goods. The Model Regulations cover the classification of dangerous goods, their listing, the use, construction, testing and approval of packagings and portable tanks, as well as consignment procedures such as marking, labeling, placarding and documentation. This sixteenth revised edition contains new provisions (e.g. transport of substances which are toxic by inhalation, requirements for metal hydride storage systems, provisions for fuel cell engines, use of open cryogenic receptacles) and revised provisions (e.g. transport of dangerous goods packed in limited quantities, classification criteria for environmentally hazardous substances, use of electronic data interchange transmission techniques and special provisions for fumigated cargo transport units)."

The Geography of Transport Systems by Jean-Paul Rodrigue,Claude Comtois,Brian Slack Pdf
Mobility is fundamental to economic and social activities such as commuting, manufacturing, or supplying energy. Each movement has an origin, a potential set of intermediate locations, a destination, and a nature which is linked with geographical attributes. Transport systems composed of infrastructures, modes and terminals are so embedded in the socio-economic life of individuals, institutions and corporations that they are often invisible to the consumer. This is paradoxical as the perceived invisibility of transportation is derived from its efficiency. Understanding how mobility is linked with geography is main the purpose of this book. The third edition of The Geography of Transport Systems has been revised and updated to provide an overview of the spatial aspects of transportation. This text provides greater discussion of security, energy, green logistics, as well as new and updated case studies, a revised content structure, and new figures. Each chapter covers a specific conceptual dimension including networks, modes, terminals, freight transportation, urban transportation and environmental impacts. A final chapter contains core methodologies linked with transport geography such as accessibility, spatial interactions, graph theory and Geographic Information Systems for transportation (GIS-T). This book provides a comprehensive and accessible introduction to the field, with a broad overview of its concepts, methods, and areas of application. The accompanying website for this text contains a useful additional material, including digital maps, PowerPoint slides, databases, and links to further reading and websites. The website can be accessed at: http://people.hofstra.edu/geotrans This text is an essential resource for undergraduates studying transport geography, as well as those interest in economic and urban geography, transport planning and engineering.
