Hazardous Cargo Reporting

Safe and compliant management of dangerous goods transportation

Hazardous Cargo Reporting Module | Port Community System

About

The Hazardous Cargo Reporting module allows Shipping Agents to electronically submit details of hazardous cargo through the PCS. Submitted information is shared with the Port Authority of Jamaica, terminal operators, and other relevant agencies in accordance with local and international safety regulations.

This ensures that hazardous materials are declared before the vessel arrives and that appropriate handling and storage procedures are in place within the port.
