Cargo Risks Pocket Guide

$14T worth of goods shipped around the world are constantly at risk some of which you do not know.

You cannot manage risks you are not aware of.

To help bring these risks to the fore, we have created the

Cargo Risks Pocket Guide

This pocket guide highlights risks across different transit modes

to different types of containers and

different types of cargo.

In the sheet you will find:

DRY CONTAINERS

1. Contamination: Previous cargoes can leave residues that contaminate subsequent shipments.

2. Corrosion Damage: Deterioration due to moisture, chemicals, or saltwater, weakening container structure. Documentation

3. Discrepancies: Errors or omissions in shipping documents can cause delays or legal issues.

4. Door Malfunction: Faulty doors can lead to cargo exposure or loss during transit.

5. Impact Damage: Collisions or rough handling causing dents or breaches in container integrity.

HAZARDOUS CARGO:

1. Atmospheric Control Failures: Inability to maintain required atmospheric conditions (e.g., inert gas in tankers).

2. Cargo Compatibility: Risk of degradation or reaction when incompatible goods are stored together.

3. Corrosive Damage: Risk of materials causing damage to containers, equipment, or infrastructure.

4. Documentation and Tracking Errors: Mismanagement of cargo manifests, leading to confusion or non-compliance in handling procedures.

5. Emergency Response Challenges: Need for specialized equipment and training to handle incidents.

6. Fire and Explosion: Increased risk due to the flammable, explosive nature of certain materials.

and 14 more!

BULK CARGO:

1. Abrasion and Friction Damage: Wear on cargo surfaces due to movement or contact with containment surfaces.

2. Chemical Reactions: Risk of hazardous reactions from unintended mixing or exposure of chemicals.

3. Cross-Contamination: Unwanted transfer of materials between cargoes, leading to quality degradation.

4. Damage Due to Improper Handling: Physical harm to cargo or its containment system from mishandling during loading, transport, or unloading.

5. Degradation over Time: Quality loss for cargoes that are sensitive to aging during prolonged transport or storage.
