Tata Steel Europe’s rail service providers have jointly developed loading and operating procedures to ensure steel products can be safely transported across international rail networks. Operating procedures for the UK and Mainland Europe can be obtained by contacting us.

Tata Steel Europe transports millions of tonnes of steel products annually on inland waterways and on short- and deep-sea routes. Safe handling, stowage and securing of steel products in barges and sea-going vessels requires care and specialist knowledge. Rule and procedures for operating in the Tata Steel IJmuiden port can be obtained from NEBAM.

Loading and securing of steel products for container shipment is a specialist activity to ensure safety of the load for all modalities. A guide to securing Tata Steel products in containers has been developed by On-Site Logistics in IJmuiden and a copy can be obtained by contacting us.

To ensure the safe handling and storage of Tata Steel Europe’s products in ports and warehouses across the extensive worldwide logistics network, the Tata Steel Europe Global Ports and Warehousing Standard has been developed. For further information contacting us. 

Guidance on safe packaging and safe storage of Tata Steel Europe products is currently being developed and will be published on this website. Guidance for steel coil banding is already available in the form or a code of practice and safety information on springback coils is also available.

Tata Steel Europe has numerous operational sites across Europe and the USA. The sites vary significantly in scope of activity and size and each has its own safety rules and procedures to ensure all visitors and workers are protected from harm. These rules and procedures are regularly reviewed and the current details for each site can be obtained from the list of contacts below.
