Which part would govern the carriage of dangerous goods in package form?

• A. SOLAS chapter VII part A
• B. SOLAS chapter VII part B
• C. SOLAS chapter VII part C

Answer: (A)

The regulation of dangerous goods in package form is set by the general provisions in SOLAS Chapter VII Part A. This part establishes the requirements for the safe carriage of dangerous goods by sea and directs ships to comply with the IMDG Code for packaging, labeling, documentation, and handling of those goods. The other parts cover different aspects or forms of dangerous goods, and Chapter VIII deals with topics outside this scope. So, Part A is the section that governs packaged dangerous goods.
