1. Spotlight on Les Richings, Chair of the ICHCA Dangerous Goods Working Group
|
|
In our newly introduced Spotlight feature, we want to give more visibility to some of the professionals that make-up our membership giving more detail of their expertise, a flavour of their passion for safety and a little insight into their personalities, which portray their enthusiasm for our unique association.
|
|
Spotlight’s first interviewee is Les Richings, Chair of the Dangerous Goods Working Group. For those of you that don’t know Les, I hope you learn a lot from this introduction, and for those that know him already perhaps you’ll see another side to a great advocate of the ICHCA cause. Click below for the full interview.

2. Safety Alert: Lifting of ISO Containers and Tanks using Hooks and Wires
|
|
The use of gantry cranes and spreaders is the optimal and preferred method for lifting ISO containers and tanks (collectively referred to as Cargo Transport Units, CTUs) in most situations.
|
|
However, not all terminals have this equipment available. At some terminals it is therefore accepted practice to lift ISO containers and tanks using wires or chains and single-rope cranes, such as mobile harbour cranes or barge-mounted derricks.

3. Example Guidance on Electric vehicles onboard passenger roll-on/roll-off ferries
|
|
At our most recent ICHCA Technical panel call, the topic of electric vehicle/Li-Ion battery fires was raised once again.
|
|
The link below will take interested readers to our article featuring the recently published Marine Guidance Note MGN 653 (M) from the UK Maritime Coastguard Agency, the regulatory body for UK maritime safety. This guidance aims to raise awareness of the risks and mitigations for the carriage of electric vehicles on board passenger roll-on roll-off ferries.

|
We are thrilled to confirm that the prestigious TT Club Innovation in Safety Awards will launch in September and are looking forward to seeing examples of how the whole supply chain continues to rise to the challenge of improving safety in our industry.
|
|
The IMO will again be busy in September with the Carriage of Cargoes and Containers and International Maritime Solid Bulk Cargoes (IMSBC) Code meetings. ICHCA will be present and active at both of these as the voice for cargo handling and coordination. We are also participating in the IPPC International Workshop on controlling the spread of invasive species via containers in London.
