Dangerous Goods Notification System
The new Dangerous Goods Notification System is an online service provided by the Port of Helsinki, and it can be used free of charge. The online service is databased and used with a browser. It is used for the monitoring of classified goods and as their notification system. The Dangerous Goods Notification System covers the life cycle of a cargo unit from its anticipated arrival at the port to its exit from the port.
The online service benefits users by reducing the amount of data entered and speeds up the processing of notifications. The system extracts basic data from the automated database.
User registration
Only registered users can access the Dangerous Goods Notification System.
Advance notice
Advance notice of all dangerous goods transported via the Port of Helsinki must be given in good time (24 hours) prior to the arrival of the consignment at the port.
Notice of arrival and exit
Information on the arrival of units containing dangerous goods is received by the port operator, who gives notice of the arrival of the consignment. The port operator also gives an exit notice once the unit exits the port.
Advance inquiry
When extremely dangerous substances are transported, an advance inquiry must be made in order to ascertain ahead of time whether a consignment can be transported via the port.
The new user-friendly Dangerous Goods Notification System verifies automatically whether advance inquiry is necessary and the processing begins.
