1. Innovation for a Safer Supply Chain
|
|
TT Club and ICHCA, with the support of TOC Europe, emphasised their message by launching an inaugural Safety Village at the conference and exhibition in Rotterdam between 14th and 16th of June. The first of its type, the exhibition space was dedicated to how innovation can lead to a safer supply chain.
|
|
Recent widespread disruption to global supply chains and the consequent pressures on freight transport capacity and cargo handling facilities requires a corresponding focus on safety measures throughout the system. As the success of the TT Club Innovation in Safety Award programme, operated by ICHCA International, has proved, there have been numerous ground-breaking innovations with multiple applications aimed at reducing these safety risks.

2. Proliferation of innovation in supply chain safety encapsulated in Awards Digest
|
|
TT Club and ICHCA’s concerted efforts to encourage improved levels of safety across the supply chain have brought significant results as evidenced by the number and quality of projects entered into the 2021 Innovation in Safety Awards. The results of the over 30 organisations submitting their initiatives have now been compiled into a Digest to allow their full potential to be realised across the industry.
|
Initiated in 2016 and operated by ICHCA International, the TT Club Innovation in Safety Award has been designed not just to recognise excellence in the field but above all to both encourage further resource to be invested in safety issues, and to allow ground-breaking research to be accessed by all those operating the global supply chain.
|
|
“It is vital that the phenomenal work being carried out by the organisations that enter our Awards be made available to others who can benefit from the improved safety measures that are on display,” says Richard Steele, ICHCA’s CEO. “Consequently, we have produced this Innovation in Safety Awards Digest, which brings together details of a wide variety of products and procedures that achieve a demonstrable improvement in cargo handling and transport safety.

3. Women in Maritime survey highlights current gender diversity across the sector and sets a benchmark for progress
|
|
The IMO and Women’s International Shipping & Trading Association (WISTA International) have published the results of a wide-ranging survey of maritime gender diversity.
|
- Industry – including ship owning companies, maritime associations, port operators; cruise; bunkering; fishing, offshore, towage, and dredging. Here it found that overall, the share of women employees by sub-sector was 29%.
- IMO Member States – covering national maritime authorities, customs, border control, or representatives to the IMO, where it found that women make up around 20% of the workforce.
