The maritime office in Shanghai announced a new regulation “沪海便函（2021）206号文”. According to the new regulation, from December 15th, they will start applying "the remote management system for hazardous cargoes in maritime transportation" to all the FCL hazardous cargoes that are shipped from Shanghai.
To control the dangerous products strictly, it will require some actions, such as registration of photos of the entire loading process (before/after the process, including its progress), facial recognition of the worker in charge and the place where the loading process is operated in the system, location management by cell phone, etc.
If an exporter does not meet the requirements, he/she won’t be able to ship the products. Thus, now there is a concern that the exportation process of hazardous products at the port of Shanghai would take longer.
