Dangerous cargo container, also known as "DG container".
There are nine classifications of DG cabinets:
Category 1 ** products.
Class 2 Compressed and liquefied gases.
Class 3 Flammable liquids.
Class 4 Flammable solids, spontaneously combustible articles and flammable materials when wet.
Class 5 Oxidizing agents and organic peroxides.
Class 6 Poisonous and infectious substances.
Class 7 Radioactive materials.
Class 8 Corrosives.
Class 9 Miscellaneous.
There are also many subdivisions in it, depending on the type and weight of the cargo. Some ports refuse to accept certain types of containers, while others allow them to pick up containers directly. Which category it is depends on the specific branch of the product. Ordinary cabinets generally only have basic storage functions for accessing and placing items.
What is the difference between a DG container and a general container:
1.Explosion-proof design.
DG cabinets are specially designed with explosion-proof design in order to avoid dangerous situations such as accidents and fires during transportation, thus providing greater safety for dangerous goods. This is also a major difference from ordinary cabinets, because ordinary cabinets do not have this special explosion-proof design.
2.Material differences.
The DG cabinet is made of stainless steel, which has very good corrosion resistance and seawater erosion resistance, which makes it safer when transporting dangerous goods. In contrast, regular cabinets are usually made of ordinary steel plates.
3.Identification requirements.
DG cabinets must comply with the requirements of international dangerous goods signs and signage so that they can be correctly identified and handled during transport, loading and unloading and storage at sea or on land. General containers, on the other hand, do not have such identification and signage requirements.
4.Size differences.
Another important difference is the size requirements. DG cabinets need to meet the requirements of international standards to ensure that they can adapt to the transportation of dangerous goods of different types and quantities. The general container can be customized according to the actual needs.
Therefore, there are significant differences in design and materials between ocean DG cabinets and ordinary containers, and these differences help to ensure the safety, reliability and compliance of DG cabinets in the transportation of dangerous goods.
