These Recommendations apply to the entry and presence of
dangerous cargoes
in
port areas
both
on ship and on shore. It is intended that they should be made applicable

and
equipment or to troopships and warships.

2.1 The purpose of this section is to assist those
drafting national legal requirements to ensure that such requirements are
as effective as possible, by covering all possible circumstances in which
dangerous cargoes are present in port areas, but do not apply in
circumstances which should be excluded.
It is recommended that the definitions are carefully studied
and used so as to prevent misunderstandings.
