    Ms. Luo Wei is mainly engaged in the research and safety management of the waterway transport of dangerous goods. She undertook numbers of research projects assigned by MSA, including safety supervision of maritime transport of solid bulk cargoes, categorization and assessment on transport conditions of dangerous ship cargoes in packaged form or in bulk, etc. She was the associate editor and translator of several editions of IMDG code. She was invited by the MSA to give training courses for several times on the IMDG code, the supervision of dangerous goods transport, etc. Through independent research and development, she established China's first laboratory of relatively complete qualifications for maritime solid bulk cargoes to fill the gap of test technique of solid bulk cargoes in China.
