IGC Code, 2016 Edycja

This IGC Code (2016) (IM104-16) does not render obsolete the previous 1993 edition (IM104) which remains valid and applies to applicable ships constructed before 1 January 2016.

The purpose of this Code is to provide an international standard for the safe carriage, by sea in bulk, of liquefied gases and certain other substances that are listed in chapter 19. Through consideration of the products carried, it prescribes the design and construction standards of the ships involved and the equipment they should carry to minimize the risk to the ship, its crew and the environment.
