On very rare occasions it may be necessary to short-ship IMO cargo, even though it is delivered within the deadline, because of stowage and segregation regulations on board the vessel. To be certain of shipment of a hazardous unit, it is advised to deliver the same prior to the vessel’s arrival in port of loading.
