Strong expertise in dangerous goods rail transport: PSP Cargo Groupโs commitment to safety and reliability

Dangerous goods rail transport is one of the most demanding and highly regulated areas of the logistics industry. Chemicals, fuels, industrial materials, and other hazardous substances are vital to the economy โ but moving them safely requires precision, trust, and a partner with proven expertise.
At PSP Cargo Group, we recognize the complexity of transporting hazardous materials by rail. With the necessary licenses, robust insurance coverage, and a team of specialists, we ensure that every shipment of dangerous goods is handled with the highest level of safety, compliance, and reliability.
Why hazardous materials logistics demands specialized expertise

Dangerous goods include substances that can pose risks to health, safety, property, or the environment โ such as flammable, toxic, explosive, or corrosive materials. Due to their potential impact, these goods cannot be transported under standard freight procedures.
Strict international frameworks โ most importantly the RID (Regulations concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Rail) โ define requirements for packaging, labeling, equipment, handling, and documentation. Only certified operators that meet these standards and continuously invest in compliance are authorized to manage dangerous goods rail transport.
For businesses, this means selecting a logistics partner who not only has the right permits but also the operational culture and risk management expertise needed to deliver safely and efficiently.
Licenses, insurance, and compliance in rail freight for hazardous goods
Safe transport of hazardous materials requires multiple levels of assurance:
Regulatory licenses and approvals โ Operators must hold special permits recognized by national and European authorities to conduct dangerous goods rail transport.
Dedicated safety advisors (DGSA) โ EU law requires every operator to appoint a Dangerous Goods Safety Advisor, responsible for compliance oversight, training, and regular audits.
Comprehensive insurance coverage โ Beyond operational safety, strong insurance policies cover the cargo, potential third-party damages, and environmental liabilities. For clients, this provides an extra layer of security and peace of mind.
