 The dangerous goods transported on board seagoing ships shall necessarily be loaded in strict accordance with the established safety rules governing the segregation and stowage of the cargo per IMDG Code. This is quite easy to stipulate but usually very difficult to do. The specific information covering the relationship of different classes of hazardous goods in respect of the stowage/segregation of these goods is contained in hard-to-understand data tables of the Code.
The present Guide will provide all necessary assistance to the people engaged in stowage and segregation of the cargo on board ships and responsible for making the transportation safer. It shows the stowage with dangerous goods of the other classes and also provides information relating to the special segregation requirements applicable to the single substances of different classes, in fact all of them except for 1 and 7.
The document covers the rules for conventional cargo vessels, container carriers and Ro-Ro ships plus barges. All applicable IMO Security Provisions are incorporated. The arrangement of the material in this guide is similar to the arrangement in the Storck Guide for Stowage and Segregation to IMDG Code including Amendment 36-12.
 This guide book has been designed to provide a summary of both individual and general stowage/segregation requirements contained in the IMDG Code. It presents an extract of the subject Code containing all information commonly required by the people engaged in the stowage and segregation activities involving dangerous goods and/or hazardous materials intended to be carried on board sea going vessels.
To make using the document easier, its authors have printed the numbers of all relevant IMDG Code paragraphs. The document is intended for use by the workers of the packing stations and all other people involved including stevedores and cargo surveyors, terminal operators and ship planers, cargo officers etc. The content starts with the general introduction followed by the list of definitions and abbreviations used throughout the text of the guide, together with the units of measurement.
The next several chapters of the guide are devoted to the training and security provisions plus special procedures that would be normally applicable to particular materials, substances and articles. The dangerous goods carried packed in limited/excepted quantities have been addressed paying attention to their marking and all associated documentation, general stowage/segregation provisions, transportation of these cargoes on different types of ships including containerships, Ro-Ro and general cargo ships, and many other important issues.
