Overview
Dangerous goods demand correct classification, packing, and carrier acceptance. We coordinate DG documentation and bookings so compliant cargo still meets operational deadlines.
Dangerous goods shipping is a compliance pathway first and a transport booking second. MarineCaddie helps maritime and multimodal DG consignments move only when classification, packing, marks/labels, and carrier acceptance line up.
We work from the UN number and packing group, not from optimistic commodity nicknames. That discipline prevents the most common failure mode: cargo grounded because paperwork and packing disagree.
IMDG, IATA, and ADR expectations differ by mode. We keep mode awareness explicit so a plan that works on ocean is not blindly reused for air.
Shippers remain responsible for compliant packing and declarations. Our role is coordination, checklist discipline, carrier booking with DG-capable operators, and escalation when something is incomplete—while still respecting the vessel clock wherever a compliant path exists.
DG acceptance is binary at the moment of truth: either the carrier can take it or they cannot. Our job is to reach that answer with complete facts before money and time are sunk into the wrong booking.
For maritime clients, we also plan the shoreside reality—storage, segregation, and handover constraints—so a compliant main leg does not fail on the last mile.
