A message to specify recapitulations pertaining to the dangerous goods on board of a means of transport, e.g. a vessel.

  • The message relates to one means of transport.
  • The message contains summary information of all dangerous goods on board of the means of transport.
  • Summary information is given as a recapitulation across all consignments on board of the means of transport, for the dangerous goods that adhere to a certain combination of IMO code (i.e. International Maritime Organisation), IMO page number, UNDG number (i.e. United Nations Dangerous Goods number) and flashpoint.

Business area: control of pollution by a means of transport (e.g. maritime pollution)

Sending function: authority (e.g. port), centralised database of authorities

Receiving function: authority, search and rescue organisation.
