2. New edition of ICHCA's IMDG Guide
|
|
Amendment 40-20 of the International Maritime Dangerous Goods (IMDG) Code, including a new edition of the supplement, was published on 1st January 2020 and becomes mandatory on 1st June 2022.
|
|
All amendments are approved by IMO’s most senior technical committee, the Maritime Safety Committee and a completely new edition of the IMDG Code is published every two years. Each amendment of the IMDG Code is valid for up to three years. Amendments overlap each other so that there is always a transition period for industry to make the necessary adjustments to the latest amendment.

4. Conclusions from UN/OECD seminar on the 2020 Beirut Port explosion
|
|
Read the summary and conclusions report of the UN/OECD Seminar in follow-up to the Beirut port explosion: Lessons learned, experiences and good practices in managing risks of ammonium nitrate storage, handling and transport in port areas, preventing accidents and mitigating their consequences (online, 14 December 2021).
|
|
Over 500 people from 48 countries, 15 international organizations, 5 NGOs, 102 industry associations/companies and 32 universities/national research institutes participated worldwide.
|
|
The 2020 Beirut port explosion was a reminder of the devastating effects that industrial accidents can have on human beings and the environment. A fire spread across a storage area of the Beirut port and caused a large amount of ammonium nitrate (AN) to explode, leading to over 200 deaths, 6,500 injuries, 300,000 people being displaced and severe damage to critical infrastructure.
