Exis Technologies, headquartered in Darlington, UK, is the leading global supplier of Hazcheck IT compliance systems for the management of dangerous goods (DG) in sea transport. We have over 30 years’ experience of supporting container lines (9 of the top 10), ferry lines, freight forwarders, ports and terminals. We are the soſt ware division of the National Cargo Bureau, New York. Together our not for profi t mission is the Safety of Life and Cargo at Sea. www.existec.com Hazcheck Systems are declared dangerous goods solutions for


every link in the sea transport chain from shippers, logistics companies, freight forwarders and ports through to ferry operators (including 90% of the UK’s ROR ferry operators) and container lines (9 of the top 10). The systems are based on the IMDG Code and help customers to


ship their DG quickly and effi ciently, automatically checking stowage, segregation and packaging requirements (without the need for the IMDG Code books). They are updated and maintained in line with the IMDG Code Amendments and Errata. The systems range from a web-based subscription service for shippers and logistics companies (automatic checks and production of dangerous goods notes), to a powerful booking and management system for container lines. Exis also supplies sophisticated validation ‘Toolkits’ to integrate with existing computer-based systems. The toolkits can also be supplied as a web service to integrate with ERP systems for example, SAP and Oracle EBS. Additional transport regulations (ADR, RID, 49 CFR and TDG) when shipping under IMDG Code rules are available. www.hazcheck.com Exis Technologies works closely with industry partners to increase


global awareness of regulatory changes and issues. Exis is developing a range of portals to increase accessibility and allow sharing of important shipping information to make transport safer. •


The Hazcheck Restrictions Portal was developed with several major container line customers to help shippers share information about port DG prohibitions and restrictions. Container lines, ports and terminals are encouraged to upload their DG handling policies and restrictions into the portal free of charge; it will allow shippers, forwarders and others involved in the movement of such goods. https://hazcheck.existec.com/ hazcheck-systems/hazcheck-restrictions.aspx
