General
The transport of dangerous goods by seagoing vessels is laid down in the Ships Act in the Netherlands. As most transport by seagoing vessels takes place in international waters, the Netherlands has also signed the SOLAS Convention, which means that at the same time the IMDG code has been incorporated into national Dutch regulations.
In some cases, these regulations also apply to national maritime transport.
