Part 176 of the Hazardous Materials Regulations covers the requirements for transporting hazardous materials by most commercial vessels, foreign or domestic, when in navigable waters of the United States. This online training course satisfies the modal-specific shipping training requirements found in Part 176 and Part 172, Subpart H, of the HMR.

The International Maritime Dangerous Goods (IMDG) Code is a uniform international code for the transport of dangerous goods by sea and covers such matters as packing, container traffic and stowage, and segregation of incompatible substances. You may consult the IMDG Code in place of Part 176 as long as you also follow the requirements listed in 171.12 and 176.11 of the HMR.
