Dear Members and Friends...
As we move through a busy and important summer for our industry, we are delighted to bring you the July edition of ICHCA Insights. This month’s update reflects the breadth of work happening across our community - from strengthening safety at the ship‑shore interface to improving access to dangerous goods regulations, and preparing for key conversations at the IMO.
|
With our November In‑Person Meeting in London now on the horizon, we are already shaping an engaging programme and would greatly appreciate early expressions of interest. Your participation helps us ensure the event delivers real value for everyone involved.
|
You will also find details of our newly published Quick Guide to Dangerous Goods Transport, a practical resource designed to make complex regulatory frameworks easier to navigate. Alongside this, the latest MIS Safety Series webinar is now available on demand, offering thoughtful perspectives on eliminating cargo‑handling fatalities, a challenge that remains central to our shared mission.
|
Finally, we highlight upcoming IMO meeting dates and current hot topics influencing the regulatory landscape. Staying informed on these developments is essential as we continue working together to raise standards and support safer, more efficient cargo operations worldwide.
|
Thank you, as always, for your continued engagement and support.
|
Let’s keep raising standards, together.
