Social responsibility has been a fundamental part of NCB Hazcheck’s (Exis Technologies) existence for more than 35 years. We aim to enhance the transport of dangerous goods (DG) by sea with our developed products. Safety of life and protecting the environment has been an integral part of the company’s ethos. Since integrating into the NCB Group in 2018, our ‘Safety of Life and Cargo at Sea’ mission has been the driving force behind the development of innovative industry solutions.
Using data collected by CINS (www.cinsnet.com), an estimated 600,000 containers may be shipped with undeclared DG annually, based on industry volumes and projections. Each container could lead to an incident.
Supplying ground-breaking software solutions like Hazcheck Detect we are helping the industry to overcome the challenge of identifying misdeclared and undeclared DG. These issues have been around since the beginning of containerisation.
The company’s core beliefs and values lie at the heart of making the maritime environment a safer place.

This donation aimed to assist in purchasing Christmas parcels for seafarers arriving on ships along the River Tees during the festive period.
