IMO KC284E CTU Code - Code of Practice for Packing of Cargo Transport (CTU Code) - VERSIONE DIGITALE

IMO/ILO/UNECE Code of Practice for Packing of Cargo Transport Units

(CTU Code) (2014 Edition)

Innovations and developments in the types of cargoes carried in freight containers have allowed heavy,

bulky items which were traditionally loaded directly into the ships’ hold to be carried in cargo transport

units (CTUs).

The IMO/ILO/UNECE Code of Practice for Packing of Cargo Transport Units (CTU Code) gives advice on

the safe packing of cargo transport units to those responsible for the packing and securing of the cargo

and by those whose task it is to train people to pack such units. This publication outlines theoretical

details for packing and securing as well as giving practical measures to ensure the safe packing of cargo

onto or into CTUs.
