China to Inspect Operations of Dangerous Goods at Ports

On June 8, 2022, the Ministry of Transport of the People’s Republic of China (MoT) issued a notice¹ to strengthen the safety operation of dangerous goods at ports in summer. Due to the high temperature and the increasing frequency of storm/lightning/typhoon in summer, the flammable, explosive, toxic, corrosive, or volatile dangerous goods are likely to cause safety risks or accidents if they are not properly operated at ports. Thus, the authority has attached great importance to the work safety in port areas and the following measures will be taken.
