The management of dangerous goods is one of the most sensitive areas in modern logistics. At Páez Aduanas, we are proud to present our new specialized service for dangerous goods at the Port of Algeciras, designed to ensure that every operation is carried out in compliance with the highest safety standards and international regulations.

What are Dangerous Goods?

Dangerous goods are substances or materials that, due to their physical or chemical properties, pose a risk to health, safety, and the environment during transport or handling. This includes flammable, corrosive, toxic, or explosive products, among others.

This type of goods requires specific classification, documentation, and labeling, which are governed by international standards such as ADR (road transport), IMDG (maritime transport), or IATA (air transport).

Regulations for Dangerous Goods

Moving dangerous goods is not simply “another shipment.” There are strict regulations in place to protect people, port infrastructure, and the environment.

Code

IMDG

It establishes international rules for the safe transport of dangerous goods by sea and their stowage on ships.

ADR (European Agreement)

Regulates the transport of dangerous goods by land, with periodic inspections and rules on labelling, packaging and documentation.

Regulations

port

Royal Decree 145/89 regulates the admission, handling and storage of dangerous goods in Spanish ports.

Compliance with these regulations is essential to avoid penalties, incidents and environmental risks, especially in an international logistics hub such as the Port of Algeciras.
