Container Packers Course

Product Overview

The Container Packers Course is designed for anyone involved in the packing and transport of Cargo Transport Units (CTUs), with a focus on freight containers. It provides practical guidance aligned with the IMO/ILO/UNECE CTU Code of Practice (CTU Code), supporting safe and compliant cargo packing across various transport modes.

The course covers:

• Key considerations before packing
• Planning, preparation, and packing methods
• Cargo securing techniques
• Container closing and sealing
• Special requirements for dangerous goods

By completing the course, learners will have an understanding of essential packing and securing practices for the safe transport of cargo and be able to reference the CTU Code for further guidance.

Throughout the course there are links to the CTU Code, either in the text of the main pages or in the reference bar at the bottom of the page.

The course includes assessments to test your understanding of the course material and upon successful completion a course completion certificate is provided.

📞 Looking for Other Training Formats?

We also offer:

• Classroom-based training – this consists of a morning lecture in a classroom at the facility followed by an afternoon hands-on training, during which securing methods specific to containers and cargo on-site are demonstrated and critiqued.
• Live instructor-led webinars
• Hybrid training with both online and hands-on sessions – instead of a classroom lecture, trainees take the theoretical course online individually at their convenience, and then at a future date, the combined group undergo a couple of hours of hands-on training.

To book or enquire about these training formats, please contact us directly.

This course is endorsed by the TT Club and ICHCA, both part of the Cargo Integrity Group, which promotes high standards in container packing to reduce safety and environmental risks.
