Cathay Cargo gets re-certified for IATA’s Lithium Batteries accreditation

Cathay Cargo has been re-certified for IATA’s Center of Excellence for Independent Validators (CEIV) Lithium Batteries accreditation. The certification offers reassurance for customers using the Cathay Dangerous Goods service, which provides customers with precise handling and segregated storage across all nine classes of dangerous goods, including flammable, radioactive and other types of hazardous materials, along with the safe carriage of lithium-ion batteries. Cathay Cargo first achieved IATA’s CEIV Lithium Batteries accreditation in 2023. “Safety is the cornerstone for all our operations and particularly when it comes to the transport of dangerous goods,” said Tim Wong, GM, Cathay Cargo. He added, “The safe carriage of lithium-ion batteries is a core focus of our cargo business and we have introduced a series of safety protocols with our customers and operational teams to mitigate any risks. This CEIV reaccreditation will give further reassurance to our customers that we adhere to the highest standards of handling in the industry.”
