Transportation Regulations and Logistics

Anthony Blake, Martin Resource Management Corporation, highlights the benefits of TSI's Road Transportation Task Group for his company in their day-to-day sulphur handling practices.

Mission:

To advocate responsible and beneficial resolution of issues that are associated with international, regional, and local regulations governing sulphur transportation and logistics — from production facilities and terminals by rail, truck, barge, and marine vessel — on behalf of its members.

Sulphur transportation regulations and logistics continue to change as emphasis continues for increased security against international terrorist activities. Although incidents during transportation and handling are at all time minimum levels, all materials, including sulphur and sulphur compounds, are under scrutiny. TSI monitors for proposed changes to regulations impacting transportation and handling of sulphur and sulphur compounds. With assistance from its North American and European Working Groups, TSI serves as spokesperson for the industry.
