INTERCARGO urges members of the Joint Coordination Centre for the Black Sea Grain Initiative to further extend this important humanitarian initiative when the current extension expires on March 18th.

The Chairs of the Round Table of International Shipping Associations met in Athens to renew their collaboration, in the first physical meeting since 2019.

INTERCARGO continues to fully support the ambition to achieve net zero emission shipping by 2050. However, it noted that it is important to stress that this goal can only be achieved by providing the shipping industry with alternative zero carbon fuels.

Never has the theme of this year’s World Maritime Day - ‘New technologies for greener shipping’ - been so in tune with the focus of the ship owning community, says INTERCARGO.

After more than a decade of effective threat-reducing counter-piracy operations the shipping industry has removed the ‘Indian Ocean High Risk Area’ (HRA).

INTERCARGO welcomes agreement at international level to resume grain shipments from Ukraine but warns they should only take place if the safety and security of the vessels, their crew and cargo, can be guaranteed.

Industry partners could still do more to ensure the safety of crews, says INTERCARGO, as it submitted its latest Bulk Carrier Casualty Report to the Sub-Committee on IMO Instruments (III 8).

On the Day of the Seafarer 2022, INTERCARGO thanks seafarers who have served selflessly during the pandemic, and those are still caught up amid the disruptions caused by the situation in Ukraine.

It would be a mistake to place responsibility for meeting IMO’s zero emission shipping targets fully on the shoulders of the shipping industry, warns INTERCARGO.

The shipping industry is facing its own version of ‘long COVID’ says INTERCARGO, following warnings received from members.
