Maersk Line has revealed the results of a review of how it carries dangerous goods following the Maersk Honam fire that killed five crew earlier this year.

The company, working with class society ABS, evaluated more than 3,000 United Nations hazardous materials identifier numbers to develop its Risk Based Dangerous Goods Stowage principles.

They aim to minimise risk to crew, cargo, environment and vessel in case a fire develops.
