Better transport of dangerous goods on inland ships

danube.news

The purpose of ISGINTT is to improve the safe transport of dangerous goods at the interface of inland tank barges with other vessels or shore facilities (terminals). The intention is not to replace or to amend current legal requirements, but to provide additional recommendations. ISGINTT is the result of best practices as recommended by the participating organisations. ISGINTT guidance is compatible with existing international maritime guidance for sea going vessels.  

ISGINTT was developed in a concerted activity by CCNR, OCIMF, CEFIC, EBU, ESO, ESPO, EUROPIA, FETSA, SIGTTO and their members. Since 2006 these organisations have shared expertise to produce an inland waterway specific safety guide for tank barges and terminals based on internationally respected publication “International Safety Guide for Oil Tankers and Terminals” (ISGOTT, 5th edition).  

ISGINTT is currently just available in English. To facilitate its use on European inland waterways, ISGINTT will also be published in Dutch, French and German.
