Risk mitigation in shipping operations requires precise control of chemical materials, compliance with IMO regulations, and real-time oversight of vessel operations. Chemical Safety’s EMS software integrates all these functions to ensure compliance with:

International Bulk Chemical (IBC) Code – Proper management of liquid bulk chemicals by ship type (Type 1–3)

International Maritime Dangerous Goods (IMDG) Code – Classification, labeling, packaging, and documentation of packaged dangerous goods

MARPOL Convention (Annex II & V) – Prevention of chemical and waste pollution from ships

Our software simplifies the documentation, handling, and disposal processes required under these laws—helping you avoid costly incidents, ensure crew safety, and maintain full regulatory compliance.
