国际物流规则化是全球经济一体化的先导.pptVIP

* International logistics standards as platform for global economic integration 2nd Global Shipping Summit Nov., 23, 2007 Shenzhen, China Chung Tam, CTL Chief Representative, ASTL-China Logistics has developed from a local industry to a global industry. Since the opening up, the Chinese economy has developed from a local economy (where goods are sourced and sold locally) to a truly global economy where raw materials are sourced from all over the world, processed in China then sold to consumers domestically and overseas. This global economy is made possible by a very complex global logistics network. Imagine if every country had different regulations and standards… This would slow these processes down, add unnecessary cost and may even stop the flow of goods all together. What meets the requirements of one country, doesn’t meet those in another. International logistics standards and regulations are necessary to ensure a safe, efficient and secure global supply chain. International Maritime Dangerous Goods (IMDG) codes The International Maritime Dangerous Goods (IMDG) Code was developed by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) as a uniform international code for the transport of dangerous goods by sea covering such matters as packing, container traffic and stowage. The IMDG Code is intended to: Prevent injury or damage to ships and cargoes Prevent harm to the marine environment Enhance the safe transport of dangerous goods Facilitate the free unrestricted movement of such goods History of the IMDG Code Recognition of need - 1929 (SOLAS) Classification of goods - 1948 (SOLAS) Report on classification, listing, labeling, documentation -1956 (UN Expert Committee) Rule development -1960 (SOLAS) IMDG developed and recommended to governments -1965 (IMOs MSC) MARPOL 73/78 initial development - 1973 Scope of rules developed - 1974 (SOLAS) Revisions and amendments - 1986, 1992, 1994(M), 1996(M), 2000 Mandatory - 2004 Future - Continued revisions To
