Why DGM?
The DGM organization (1988) is devoted to packing, storage and transport, consulting, classification, and professional training in the field of moving dangerous goods. All of DGM’s activities are performed in accordance with the global safety standards: The rules and regulations of IATA/ICAO – IMO – 49 CFR – ADR – RID, for the safe handling and transport of hazardous goods also referred to as dangerous goods.
DGM’s roots are in oil and gas operations. When tendering their commercial explosives for transportation, oil well perforating companies were often handicapped by conflicting interpretations of international rules and regulations.
Today, when rushing explosives or radioactive sources to (mostly remote) drilling sites around the globe, thanks to DGM’s extensive expertise, these headaches are past history.
DGM expanded its scope of services to assist air carriers: for technical assistance, cargo inspections, repack and re-document shipments in transit, or to prepare new sets of Shipper’s Declarations for Dangerous Goods by Air, under DGM’s responsibility.
DGM also arranges ADR or IMDG paperwork for dangerous goods which are shipped as air cargo, but are carried by road on airline air waybill, or which must connect to ferry services (IATA/ICAO rules, versus ADR road, versus the IMO/IMDG maritime rules and regulations).
DGM is acknowledged as experts in consultation, training and packing of hazardous goods, also referred to as dangerous goods. We aim to provide a total service in all aspects of dangerous goods.
