The route from Kaohsiung to Genoa offers significant advantages for the transport of industrial chemicals, ensuring safe and efficient delivery across a distance of 9823 kilometers. This maritime pathway is well-suited for specialty chemicals, as it allows for bulk shipments while minimizing handling risks. The ocean route also provides access to major shipping lanes, enhancing the reliability of supply chains for chemical goods. Additionally, the integration of advanced tracking technologies ensures real-time visibility throughout the journey.
Kaohsiung is equipped with a modern port infrastructure, featuring dedicated terminals for handling chemical products, which ensures compliance with safety regulations. The port's facilities include specialized storage options for hazardous materials, enhancing the security of shipments. In Genoa, the port is similarly well-prepared, with robust logistics support and efficient customs processes that facilitate quick offloading and distribution of chemical goods. This combination of infrastructure capabilities at both ends supports seamless transitions and optimizes the supply chain for industrial chemicals.

When shipping from Kaohsiung, Taiwan to Genoa, Italy, prepare for the Western Pacific Typhoon Season (June-November) by building in buffer days and securing flexible routing options. Prepare for port congestion during the East Asia Rainy Season (May-October) and the Southeast Asia Monsoon Season (May-September), which can delay cargo handling. Additionally, confirm vessel space well in advance of the Christmas Retail Peak (October-December) to avoid tight capacity and longer transit times. Adjust schedules closely during the Mediterranean Winter Storms (November-March) for potential disruptions.

Moving moisture-sensitive specialty chemicals necessitates tight-closing drums or jerricans, vapor-barrier wraps, and drying agents inside cartons or overpacks. Shippers should also Specify “Keep Dry” on labels and booking notes and not use open or vented storage and transit equipment where humidity can build up.
For most regulated chemical goods, UN-rated packaging must be used when shipping by road, sea, or air. The specific UN packaging code and performance level are determined by the product’s hazard class and packing group shown on the SDS. Be sure to confirm with your dangerous goods specialist or carrier whether your industrial chemicals are fully regulated, limited quantity, or exempt before selecting packaging.
Most specialty chemicals shipments need a DG shipping paper, the latest SDS, and complete labels and markings that correspond to the classification. Our team recommends including emergency contact details, handling instructions (e.g., “Keep Dry,” “Do Not Stack”), and any licenses required by local authorities for specific Chemical products.
You may be able to consolidate different industrial chemicals, but only if regulatory separation requirements are met. First review the SDS and relevant ADR/IMDG/IATA tables to ensure acids, bases, oxidizers, flammables, and other chemical products are properly separated. Use physical barriers and clear labeling when combining multiple hazard classes.
Because specialty chemicals can cause environmental damage if leaks occur, enhanced freight insurance is advisable. Carefully review your policy to confirm that dangerous goods and specialty chemicals are not excluded, and that coverage covers contamination, disposal, and emergency response costs where applicable.
When shipping chemicals via ocean freight, it is essential to comply with international regulations, including the IMDG Code for the safe transport of hazardous materials. This includes proper labeling, packaging, and documentation to ensure the safe handling of chemical products throughout the journey.
Shipments of chemicals from Kaohsiung to Genoa must adhere to both Taiwanese export regulations and EU import regulations, including REACH compliance for chemical safety. Proper documentation, including Safety Data Sheets (SDS) and customs declarations, is required to facilitate clearance at both ports.
