DANGEROUS GOODS MANIFESTS
Masters of vessels entering Hong Kong with cargoes of dangerous
goods are reminded of their obligation to submit a fully completed
manifest to the Director of Marine.
In each case the name and full address of the consignee, and
wherever possible the telephone number, should be provided in respect
of each item.
A spokesman for the Marine Department said: "Incomplete information
concerning dangerous goods, and in particular inadequate information
concerning consignees, is causing difficulty in tracing the disposition
of dangerous goods once they have been landed in Hong Kong. 10
Dangerous goods manifests which do not contain adequate information
will be refused, and the items may not be discharged until the necessary
details have been obtained and the manifest re-submitted, he added.
