Which SOLAS chapter and part addresses dangerous goods in solid bulk form?

• A. SOLAS chapter VII part A-1
• B. SOLAS chapter VII part B
• C. SOLAS chapter VII part C
• D. SOLAS chapter IX

Answer: (A)

SOLAS Chapter VII governs the carriage of dangerous goods on ships, and the section that provides the framework for transporting dangerous goods (including those in bulk form) is Part A-1. This part lays out the general requirements for dangerous goods in packaged form—how they are classified, packed, labeled, documented, and stowed—and it links to the IMDG Code for the detailed rules. Because the safety rules for dangerous goods on board ships—whether they’re handled as bulk solids or packaged—are anchored in this Part, it serves as the primary reference for SOLAS when addressing dangerous goods in solid bulk form.
