Industry associations BIMCO, ICS, CLIA, IMCA, INTERCARGO, INTERTANKO and OCIMF have revised the security guidance applicable to navigating in the Southern Red Sea and Gulf of Aden.

The safety of seafarers must be paramount as the international community seeks to address the volatile situation in the Red Sea, said Intercargo on behalf of the world’s dry bulk ship owners.

Industry associations BIMCO, ICS, CLIA, IMCA, INTERCARGO, INTERTANKO and OCIMF have come together to publish security guidance applicable to navigating in the Southern Red Sea and Gulf of Aden.

The International Association of Dry Cargo Shipowners (INTERCARGO) has published its Annual Review, taking in the highs and lows of the past 12 months and explaining how it takes action to promote the human factor.

INTERCARGO published its Bulk Carrier Casualty Report, reporting that 26 bulk carriers of over 10,000 dwt were declared as total losses for the years 2013-2022.

As the industry gears up for next week’s much anticipated MEPC 80 (Marine Environment Protect Committee) meeting, INTERCARGO Secretary General Kostas Gkonis has reiterated the importance that mid-term measures to help the IMO’s decarbonisation ambitions should be both simple and effective, so as to be efficiently implemented by ships worldwide.

The INTERCARGO Benchmarking Bulk Carriers 2022-2023 report has been published, which evaluates the bulk carrier industry through various performance indicators.

Intercargo argues that it is unfair for GHG (greenhouse gases) reduction regulations to solely apply to shipping operators and not the entire supply chain.

During the 2023 GREEN4SEA Athens Forum, Mr. Emmanuel Vergetis, INTERCARGO liaison / Consultant, gave a presentation on the various challenges the dry bulk and tramp shipping are facing as we are heading toward the maritime decarbonization.

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.
