Transportation of Dangerous Goods by Ship
Abstract Ship and barge transport on lakes and waterways present some risk to the environment, people and to fixed installations and buildings. The greatest risk arises from explosion of a flammable gas (propane/butane, gasoline, solvents) cloud escaping from tanker-ship damaged by a collision. Non-combustible gases, such as chlorine or ammonia, can escape from a container as the result of mechanical or corrosion damage and form a toxic gas cloud drifting in direction of populated areas along the lake or river. Another risk may be due to water intrusion into a damaged barge and subsequent leaching of some water soluble toxic substance, which may pollute lakes and rivers, thus presenting a danger to ground-water and aquatic life.
