We also look back at the huge success of the recent TOC Safety Village in Rotterdam, where ICHCA was privileged to join a fantastic line-up of speakers and innovators working to drive safer operations. A big thank you to everyone who contributed.

In this issue you will also find updates on our Severe Risk Dashboard, G2 Ocean’s latest Safety Bulletin, and ways to engage more closely with the IMO, including an upcoming seminar that offers a great introduction to how the organisation works.
