Storage & Transport
Environmental permit
Compliance with the environmental permit requirements and PGS-15 guidelines is necessary for storage and transhipment of dangerous goods. The (tank) containers are stored on the outdoor terrain, and a limited number of vehicles are also parked there. The Gas Measuring Station on site measures sea containers for harmful gases and vapours, and fumigation of containers occurs on the outdoor area. It’s crucial to adhere to the established guidelines for hazardous substances and CMR substances.
