The Vessel Operators Hazardous Materials Association (VOHMA) is an international organization comprised of representatives of the ocean common carriers of the world, operating under the flags of several nations, dedicated to improving the understanding and uniform application of rules and regulations governing maritime transportation of dangerous goods. Collectively, VOHMA members are responsible for the safe transportation of over 85% of the ocean borne container traffic in the US trades.
VOHMA’s primary focus is to foster the safe handling of hazardous materials, as well as to offer the expertise of the ocean carriers in forging regulatory development. VOHMA actively comments on proposed regulations and is in frequent contact with the Department of Transportation’s Research and Special Programs Administration (RSPA) and the US Coast Guard.
