NCB Hazcheck is a specialist provider of dangerous goods technology, regulatory data and cargo safety solutions, supporting organisations throughout the global supply chain.
With over 40 years of experience developing dangerous goods software, Hazcheck has established a trusted position within the maritime and wider transport sectors.

As part of NCB, Hazcheck combines its technology and regulatory expertise with the wider NCB group’s operational knowledge and commitment to safeguarding life and cargo.
Technology built on specialist knowledge
Dangerous goods transport involves complex regulations, changing requirements and significant operational responsibilities.
Our solutions bring together regulatory knowledge, structured data and software to help organisations manage these challenges.
From cargo booking screening and dangerous goods validation to document processing, training and system integration, Hazcheck provides practical tools for improving safety and efficiency. Explore our solutions.
Our approach is founded on a simple principle: technology should strengthen professional expertise and support better decisions, not replace accountability or informed judgement.
