ANNUAL REVIEW
Members gain access to cross-industry sources of knowledge and
engage in drafting strategy for both the dry bulk and the wider shipping
industry via INTERCARGO’s participation in industry working and
correspondence groups and the IMO deliberations. An overview of
INTERCARGO’s work programme is provided next.
INTERCARGO serves as an information and experience-sharing
hub for its Members on all of the above topics. Members also use
INTERCARGO’s internal reporting on specific operational aspects
to assess problems related to terminals and loading/unloading at
anchorage on an ongoing basis.
INTERCARGO’s activities are also directed towards issues of interest
to its Membership beyond specific items of its work programme, such
as ship recycling regulations appreciating the full lifecycle of a bulk
carrier. They include publications and industry consultations, such as
participation in Industry Working and Correspondence Groups, and
of course INTERCARGO’s participation with consultative status at the
International Maritime Organization (IMO).
