EXPLOSAFE: New, Efficient, and Low Cost Developments for Safe Transportation and Storage of Explosive Substances and Articles

Abstract

Storage and transportation of high explosives gives headaches to many logistics managers, especially when it comes to forwarding of smaller quantities, such as samples. Air transport is limited to 1.4 explosives on cargo aircraft and as 1.4S classified explosives on passenger aircraft. Most samples cannot be transported by air. Ocean transport is feasible, but due to stowage and segregation regulations in the IMDG code, as well as Port restrictions, this is an expensive solution. DGM has found amazing solutions to such problems and now offers fully tested Explosafe containers to the industry.
