INTRODUCTION
• The aim of this IMO/ILO/UNECE Code of Practice for Packing of Cargo Transport Units (CTU Code) is to give advice on the safe packing of cargo transport units (CTUs) to those responsible for the packing and securing of the cargo and by those whose task it is to train people to pack such units.
• The aim is also to outline theoretical details for packing and securing as well as to give practical measures to ensure the safe packing of cargo onto or into CTUs.
• CTU Code also provides information and advice for all parties in the supply chain up to and including those involved in unpacking the CTU.

The essential difference between a convention and a code is that the former becomes mandatory for Contracting Parties once it enters into force (which happens when a specified number of States has accepted it).Acceptance involves making the provisions of the convention part of national law (the aim being to standardize national maritime laws as widely as possible).A code, on the other hand, is normally recommendatory unless it is made mandatory under the provisions of a Convention
