The transportation of bulk liquids and liquefied gases requires specialised equipment and the codes of practice and the international and national regulations are complicated but necessary.

The object of this package is to inform and to clarify the use of these codes and regulations. It also deals with the cargoes that may be involved. This knowledge is essential for all concerned from the word go.

The different types of containers and tank containers are fully discussed and shown including the standard and frequently used types and sizes. Also the unusual and very specific such as cryogenic tanks capable of transporting liquefied gases at extremely low temperatures and the range of 'Swap Body' containers capable of carrying tanks of exceptionally large capacity containing relatively light liquids.

Protective clothing and procedures for use in the loading and discharge of certain hazardous substances are shown in use. Emergency planning to cover incidents that can occur is discussed and an emergency drill is seen in operation.
