IMO DSC 17/7
IMO issues Circlular DSC 17/7 regarding Development of Measures to Prevent Loss of Containers.
In June 2012, a broad array of industry stakeholders that included the governments of Denmark, The Netherlands and the United States along with a group of fivemaritime industry associations lead by the World Shipping Council, co-sponsored a formal proposal to the IMO to amend the SOLAS convention to require that the weight of all loaded containers be verified prior to loading onboard a vessel for export. The IMO’s DSC 17 will consider this proposal at its September 2012 meeting.
