We would like to inform you about the regulatory amendment of the IMDG CODE regarding the transportation of charcoal of animal or vegetable origin. As per the International Maritime Dangerous Goods (IMDG) Code amendment 42-24, all types of charcoal irrespective of form must be declared as Dangerous Goods, to address preventable fires caused by improper handling of charcoal.
Given the highly volatile nature of this commodity and our commitment to the safety of our ships and crew, ESL has decided to discontinue the acceptance of charcoal shipments, effective 1st July 2025.
Any booking placed on or after 1st July 2025 for the above-mentioned will not be accepted.
We hope that this timeline gives you adequate time to plan your charcoal shipments.
Please do not hesitate to reach out to our sales or customer service representatives should you have any further questions.
