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.
