4 1 Introduction The dangerous goods manual is documented in order to have a Standard Operating Procedure for handling of dangerous goods all around the globe A/c Emirates Shipping Line. These procedures are to be implemented globally with effect from 1 st November 2006 and shall replace all previous procedures relating to dangerous goods and are to be followed by each and every person handling dangerous cargo bookings, the cargo and / or containers a/c Emirates Shipping Line globally. 2 Objective The objective of this document is to provide guidance as to how dangerous goods are to be booked, registered, documented, loaded, transited, transshipped, and discharged. To identify essential tasks to be undertaken, information to be exchanged and the roles and responsibilities of all parties involved. The objective of this document is also to ensure safe transportation of hazardous commodities on Emirates Shipping Line vessels and thorough compliance of rules and regulations. 3 Dangerous Cargo and Its Classification A dangerous substance is a substance which, by its nature (even in small quantities) can harm or cause damage to people, animals and environment. Dangerous substances are classified according to the degree of danger. The following table is an insight to the type of danger each class possesses along with a few examples for your reference. PPaaggee 44 oof f 2244

5 IMO Type Description Examples 1 Explosives All explosives which by themselves,or in certain mixtures,or by shock or friction,may cause an explosion followed by a fire. Dynamite, Fireworks, Cartridges, Detonating Cord, Missiles, Ammunition etc 2 Gases A chemical substance with a physical state gas, vapour or even liquefied gases. 3 Flammable Liquids 4 Flammable Solids 5 Oxidizing Substances A liquid Physical state Liquid or Fumes can catch fire and extend into a blaze. A solid physical state can catch fire and extend into a blaze. Are those rich in oxygen and undesirable in case of fire. Can cause fire or even explode when the oxygen ignites 6 Toxic Can poison a living organism Death when ingested, inhaled or absorbed by the skin. 7 Radioactive Can cause radiation disease cancer of contamination to containers and in worst cases, even a ship. 8 Corrosive Can cause burns to human beings and even damage the equipment. 9 Miscellaneous Substances not covered by any other class however have dangerous characteristics and may be harmful to the marine environment. Nitrogen, Oxygen, Propane, Butane, Acetylene etc Petrol, Ethers, Alcohol, Bitumen, Paints, Thinners, Adhesives, Flammable solvents etc. Charcoal, Fibres, Hay, Wax, Calcium Carbide, Magnesium Alkyls etc. Organic Peroxides, Fertilizers, Hair colouring peroxides, Bleaching agents etc Tear gas, Cyanides, Lead Compounds Weed Killers etc. Uranium ore, Cobalt60, Thorium 231 etc. Acids, Alkalis, Dyes, Detergents, Mercury etc. Lithium Batteries, Cargo Under Fumigation, Asbestos etc Note - There are also divisions within each class which are called sub divisions. Class 1 has sub divisions 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4,1.5 and 1.6 Class 2 has sub divisions 2.1, 2.2. and 2.3 Class 4 has sub divisions 4.1, 4.2 and 4.3 Class 6 has sub divisions 6.1 and 6.2 P.S. - Certain Substances / UNNO may also have two or more IMO Classes assigned to them according to the degree of danger. (eg.unno 1045, Fluorine Compressed, IMO Class 2.3, sub class 5.1 / 8 this means that the substance or product PPaaggee 55 oof f 2244

6 Fluorine, Compressed is a toxic gas which is also an Oxidizing Agent and also Corrosive). 4 Rules And Regulations A wide range of rules and regulations need to be adhered to when transporting any cargo that is classified as Dangerous goods. They are as follows :- International Maritime Organization (IMO) Regulations Code of Federal Regulations (CFR49) Local port rules and regulations Emirates Shipping Line In-house rules and guidelines Consortium Partners In-house rules and guidelines 4.1 IMO Regulations IMO regulates various aspects of hazardous cargo shipment from classification and identification of each commodity, packing and labeling, stowage and segregation to emergency handling procedures. The complete IMO regulations pertaining to hazardous cargo can be found in the IMDG (International Maritime Dangerous Goods) Code. The IMDG Code is renewed / amended every two years. 4.2 CFR49 Regulations Code of Federal Regulations (CFR49) is controlled by the Department Of Transport (DOT) of the United States and has its own set of rules and regulations and has some difference from the IMO Regulations. However the CFR49 has to be complied for all hazardous cargoes / containers moving from / to the United States Of America ONLY. The CFR49 is renewed / amended every year. 4.3 Local Rules And Regulations Various national and local port rules are also in place for safety and security at various ports according to their local law. The Emirates Shipping Line agents at each country or port are the best entity to understand their local rules and restriction at all time. General acceptance, restriction and prohibition of each hazardous commodity at each country and port are updated on the Emirates Shipping Line Intranet site and also the LRP system. 4.4 Emirates Shipping Line In-house Rules and Guidelines Besides IMDG Code and CFR49 regulations, there are additional set of rules and requirements implemented by Emirates Shipping Line Dangerous Goods desk in order to ensure optimum safety level of our colleagues working onboard the ships (crew), our vessels and the marine lives. Our house rules and requirements can be found on the intranet. PPaaggee 66 oof f 2244

7 4.5 Consortium Partners In-house Rules and Guidelines Similar to the Emirates In-house Rules, our Consortium Partners too have their In-house rules, which could be found on the Emirates Shipping Line Intranet site. There is a possibility that certain cargoes are accepted by the Consortium Partners But not by Emirates Shipping Line and vice versa. The policy YOU ACCEPT, I ACCEPT between consortium partners applies. 4.6 Non-Compliance of Rules and Regulations Failure to understand and follow these rules (see 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 4.4, 4.5 ) may result in serious repercussions, such as; Loss of life, or injury to crew Fire and explosion Heavy fine and penalty 5 Process To understand the Process for registering, regulating data and approval of Hazardous shipments it is necessary to understand the flow of information too. 5.1 DG Reference Number The dangerous cargo information is stored in the LRP system (Emirates Shipping Line In-house system).the identity of every DG booking is its DG reference number which is automatically generated once the DG booking is saved, after entering all relevant DG details. This DG number is to be reported in all DG reports and requests. 5.2 Information Flow Emirates Shipping Line hazardous bookings are entered into LRP by the Customer Service Desk and sent to the DG Desk for approval, who in turn checks the application and changes the status of the booking (accepted, rejected, query etc) in the LRP system. The Customer Service Desk can thus view the status of Emirates Shipping Line Hazardous bookings in LRP and communicate with the shippers accordingly. Emirates Shipping Line Partners do not have LRP (in-house system)and therefore send in their applications through to the DG Desk, where the bookings are entered in the LRP by the Dg desk and also directly reply with the status through e mail (approved, rejected, etc) along with the LRP DG reference number, after checking all data with rules and regulations. PPaaggee 77 oof f 2244

8 5.3 Division of Process The three divisions are as follows:- Partner s cargo on Emirates Shipping Line vessels Emirates Shipping Line cargo on Partner s vessels Emirates Shipping Line cargo on Emirates Shipping Line vessels Partner s cargo on Emirates Shipping Line Vessels Partner DG Desk reviews data / documents, checks House rules, IMDG / CFR49, Port clearances and sends booking to Emirates DG Desk for approval via to dg@emiratesline.com. Emirates DG Desk enters all contents in LRP system, reviews cargo as per Emirates & partner Houserules and either approve / reject / query the Partner via . A final summary of Approved DG to be sent to central planner for planning, by Hazardous Cut-off time. Incase any Partner bookings received before Hazardous Cut off Time, however for some reason pending for approval (lack of info, awaiting documents etc) a provisional list to be submitted to planner to keep stowage for same Emirates Shipping Line cargo on Partner vessels Shipper send application to Customer Service Agents (CSA) with Dangerous Goods Declaration, Container Packing Certificate, Tank Inspection Reports, Material Safety Data Sheet. CSA enters the data in the LRP system and sends to DG Desk For Approval along with documents. DG Desk reviews data / documents, checks Emirates as well as Partner House rules, IMDG / CFR49, Port clearances and sends booking to partner via . Partner Approves / Rejects Booking and sends back to Emirates DG desk vide to dg@emiratesline.com. Emirates DG Desk changes status of the booking in LRP system. (approved / rejected etc.) PPaaggee 88 oof f 2244

9 5.3.3 Emirates Shipping Line cargo on Emirates Shipping Line Vessels Shippers send application to Customer Service Agents (CSA) with Dangerous Goods Declaration, Container Packing Certificate, Tank Inspection Reports, Material Safety Data Sheet. CSA enters the data in the LRP system and sends to DG Desk For Approval along with documents. DG Desk reviews data / documents, checks Emirates House rules, IMDG / CFR49, Port clearances and actions booking in the LRP system. A final summary of Approved DG to be sent to planner for planning by Hazardous Cut-off time. 5.4 Flowchart PPaaggee 99 oof f 2244

Always think for their safety first in case of mishaps General Provisions in the Event of Incidents Recommendations on emergency action may differ depending on whether or not the goods are stowed on deck or under deck or whether a substance is gaseous, liquid or solid. When dealing with incidents involving flammable gases or flammable liquids with a flash point of 61 C closed-cup (c.c.) or below, all sources of ignition (such as naked lights, unprotected light bulbs and electrical hand tools) shall be avoided. In general, the recommendation is to wash spillages on deck overboard with copious quantities of water and, where there is likely to be a dangerous reaction with water, PPaaggee 1133 oof f 2244

14 from as far away as practicable. Disposal of spilt dangerous goods overboard is a matter for judgment by the Master, bearing in mind that the safety of the crew has priority over pollution of the sea. If it is safe to do so, spillages and leakages of substances, articles and materials identified in the IMDG-Code as MARINE POLLUTANT shall be collected for safe disposal. Inert absorbent material shall be used for liquids. Toxic, corrosive and/or flammable vapors in under deck cargo spaces shall, where possible, be dispersed before undertaking any emergency action. Where a mechanical ventilation system is used, care will be necessary to ensure that flammable vapors are not ignited. If there is any reason to suspect leakage of these substances, entry into a hold or cargo space shall not be permitted until the Master or responsible Officer has taken all safety considerations into account and is satisfied that it is safe to do so. Emergency entry into the hold under other circumstances shall only be undertaken by trained crew wearing self-contained breathing apparatus and other protective clothing General Guidelines for Fire Think safety first! Avoid any contact with dangerous substances. Keep away from fire, smoke, fumes and vapours. Sound the fire alarm and start fire-fighting procedures. Keep the bridge and living quarters upwind if possible. Locate stowage position of cargo that is burning or evolving smoke. Identify cargo. Obtain UN Numbers and the EMS FIRE SCHEDULE of the dangerous goods involved. Consider which measures of the EMS FIRE SCHEDULE are applicable and shall be followed. Check if other dangerous goods may potentially be involved in the fire and identify the relevant EmS FIRE SCHEDULE. Wear suitable protective clothing and self-contained breathing apparatus. Be prepared to use the Medical First Aid Guide (MFAG). Contact the designated person of the company responsible for the operation of the ship or a rescue co-ordination centre to obtain expert advice on dangerous goods emergency response measures General Guidelines for Spillage Think of safety first! Avoid any contact with dangerous substances. Do not walk through spilled liquids or dust (solids). Keep away from vapors or gases. Sound alarm. Keep the bridge and living quarters up wind if possible. Wear full protective clothing resistant to chemical attack and self-contained breathing apparatus. Locate stowage position of leaking cargo.

VENTILATE THOROUGHLY BEFORE ENTERING"; and A dangerous goods transport document has been received for each dangerous goods consignment loaded in the container. NOTE: The container packing certificate is not required for tanks. 7.6 Multimodal OR Dangerous Goods Declaration - 12 point Checklist The concerned receiving this document from the shipper should conduct a 12 point check of the document. Basis the following checklist, customer service agent / operations / documentation teams need to check the details as follows :- 1. Shipper 2. Booking Number 3. Consignee 4. Vessel / Voyage Number 5. Port of Loading 6. Port of Discharge 7. Destination 8. Consignment Information UN Number preceded by the letters UN Proper Shipping Name (PSN). For N.O.S. entries, the technical name of the product will be required to follow on from the PSN. For clarification of the PSN, check the wording for the UN number entry is the Dangerous Goods List in the IMDG Code Volume 2. Trade names are not acceptable. Hazard Class, including the division or compatibility group letter where applicable, followed by any subsidiary hazard which should be shown in brackets Packing group, where assigned, which may be preceded with the letters PG The above four pieces of information are required to only be shown in one of the two following acceptable sequences;- Example;- UN1098, Allyl Alcohol, 6.1 (3), I or Allyl Alcohol, 6.1 (3), UN1098, I In addition, where applicable, the PSN should also include the Flashpoint, and include the words, where applicable, Marine Pollutant and Limited Quantity, which can also be shown as LTD QTY Flashpoint (if applicable) Marine Pollutant, the goods shall be identified as Marine Pollutant as part of the PSN PPaaggee 1188 oof f 2244

19 Limited Quantity, if declared as limited quantities, the words Limited Quantity or LTD QTY shall be included in the PSN Emergency Telephone Response Number required The number, type and kind of packages Weights, gross and nett 9.
