DGM in a nutshell…
The DGM organisation (since 1987) is devoted to training, consulting and to any other service related to safety in production, storage, handling & transport of dangerous goods in any class and any mode of transport.
All of DGM's activities are performed in accordance with the global safety standards: the rules and regulations of IATA/ICAO - IMO - ADR - RID, for the safe handling and transport of hazardous goods.
DGM's roots are in oil & gas operations.
When tendering their [commercial] explosives for transportation, oil well perforating companies were often handicapped by conflicting interpretations of international rules and regulations (IATA versus ADR, and versus local rules, laws, and government decrees, etc.).
Today, when rushing explosives or radioactive sources to the (mostly remote) drilling sites around the globe, thanks to DGM's extensive expertise, these headaches are past history.
DGM expanded its scope and now services Manufacturers, Shippers, Freight Forwarders and Carriers, with all kinds of Dangerous Goods Regulation- and CARGO SECURITY training, cargo inspections, or to pack and document shipments which contain dangerous goods.
DGM is qualified to prepare and sign Shipper’s Declarations for air transport on behalf of shippers and/or freight forwarders
DGM also arranges ADR or IMDG paperwork for dangerous goods which are shipped as air cargo, but are carried by road on airline air waybills, or which must connect to ferry services (IATA / ICAO rules, versus ADR road, versus the IMO / IMDG maritime rules & regulations).
All under
DGM’s expertise is not limited to air, ocean or road consignments;
as routine we handle any combination thereof.
Each mode of transport has its own, historically grown rules and regulations, but nowadays it takes an expert to untie the knots.
In concert with industry and DGM, the Netherlands’ Ministry of Transport designed the legal framework for (untrained) shippers to -legally- tender consignments that contain dangerous goods for air transport
A unique legislation was introduced: the “E licence”
This certificate empowers specialised companies such as DGM to act on behalf of shippers, but also freight forwarders AND assuming all relevant legal responsibilities of the actual shipper
the “E Licence”
“a legal entity which, instead of private persons, institutes or other legal entities, acts as shipper and packer, and assumes all relevant legal responsibilities of the original shipper”
DGM qualified and was awarded with the first “E” -excellence- licence by Mrs Neelie Kroes, Minister of Transport in the Netherlands in 1988
