NEWS DETAILS
In view of latest changes in the requirements of shipping dangerous goods (DG) including batteries by air and the impending Competency-based Approach to Dangerous Goods Training and Assessment (CBTA) (effective from 1 January 2023), Hong Kong Association of Freight Forwarding and Logistics (HAFFA): Carrier Liaison Group (CLG); The Hong Kong Shippers' Council (HKSC) and the Transport and Logistics Training Board - Vocational Training Council (VTC) jointly organised this webinar to share the latest update on lithium battery requirements so as to enhance handling in cargo operations. Representatives from the Civil Aviation Department (CAD) and CLG will provide an overview of the 2023 requirements of shipping DG including lithium batteries by air and the impending CBTA. Considering that undeclaring, mis-declaring, mis-handling and improper shipping of DG including lithium batteries by air might cause serious consequences, the webinar aims at providing updates on the latest DG requirements in Hong Kong and raising the awareness of the industry, thereby enhancing safety in air cargo transport and maintaining a good reputation of the Hong Kong air cargo industry.
