What are the lithium-ion batteries in containers guidelines?

The Lithium-ion Batteries in Containers Guidelines that have just been published seek to prevent the increasing risks that the transport of lithium-ion batteries by sea creates, providing suggestions for identifying such risks and thereby helping to ensure a safer supply chain in the future.

What are the new packaging requirements for lithium ion batteries?

Revised Packing Instructions: More stringent requirements for UN-certified packaging, capable of withstanding specific drop tests. State of Charge (SoC) Emphasis: Increased scrutiny on the SoC for standalone lithium-ion battery shipments, with a general requirement not to exceed 30% of rated capacity.

How to secure a lithium battery container?

Segregation: It is recommended to segregate lithium battery containers from those containing other dangerous goods, particularly flammables, by at least one container bay (6 meters). Securing: All cargo must be secured within its container and on the vessel in accordance with the CTU Code and the vessel's Cargo Securing Manual.

How should lithium ion batteries be handled?

cell.6.3 Lithium-ion batteries should be safely handled and this includes: never throwing batteries ina fire or expose to high temperatures, not soaking batteries in water or seawater, not exposing batteries to strong oxidise
