On January 20, 2025, the Chinese Ministry of Transport (MOT) released the revision to the Provisions on Safety Supervision and Administration of Transport of Dangerous Goods by Ships. Carrying dangerous goods by ships is a critical aspect of safety management in waterway transportation and an important area for risk prevention. With the revision of laws and regulations such as the Maritime Traffic Safety Law and the Yangtze River Protection Law, there has been an optimization of safety supervision system, licensing requirements and penalties related to ships carrying dangerous goods. Accordingly, corresponding modifications to the Provisions are needed to implement the requirements of superior laws.
