Compliance systems for dangerous goods sea transport

Hazcheck Web Service

Dangerous goods data packages and routines for incorporation into cargo booking, handling and planning systems accessed via a web service hosted by NCB Hazcheck.

Product Overview

Hazcheck Web Service allows companies to integrate the most current dangerous goods regulations into computer-based systems. It is an IMDG Code web API version of Hazcheck Toolkits, a set of dangerous goods data packages and routines for incorporation into cargo booking, handling, ERP and planning systems (for example, SAP and Oracle EBS) that have been used globally by container lines and ports for over ten years. It offers IMDG Code compliance and the additional provisions and/or variations applicable when using the 49 CFR, ADR, TDG and RID regulations with the IMDG Code.

The ‘off the shelf’ web solutions offered by Hazcheck Web Service are:

  • Dangerous Goods List databases: check data including UN numbers, proper shipping names, variants, classes, subrisks, packaging and flashpoints. Wildcard searches supported.
  • Segregation/stowage routines: calculate the segregation requirements between containers/vehicles containing incompatible dangerous goods or segregation within CTUs. Identifies if shipments are permitted on or under deck on cargo, passenger ships, in tanks, limited and excepted quantities.
  • Packaging routines: check that packaging is compliant and does not exceed maximum permitted weight or capacity
  • Restrictions and prohibitions: check against customer specific, vessel or location restrictions as entered on a case by case basis.

Hazcheck Web Service provides service oriented access to the functionality of Hazcheck Toolkits using Microsoft Windows Communication Foundation (WCF).
