In 1961 ICS was the first shipping industry association to be granted consultative status at the UN International Maritime Organization (IMO). Since then, our secretariat has been regularly attending – and contributing to – the technical meetings. Our national association membership structure enables us to provide a well-balanced industry view, which we express through submissions.

ICS Position Paper Informally Circulated to IMO Member States, MEPC 66, March 2014.
Submitted by IACS, Intercargo, BIMCO and ICS, Editorial and Technical Group of the Sub-Committee on Carriage of Cargoes and Containers, 1st Session, Agenda Item 5, March 2014.
In summary, the international shipping industry is broadly satisfied with the status quo with respect to the current text of the Convention, including Article 8. However, with respect to the current text of Article 15, opinions within the shipping industry appear to differ. ICS is cautious about commenting on proposed changes whose wider implications are difficult to fully understand, despite having been carefully studied by our members. ICS therefore suggests that the proposed changes to the OECD Model Convention need to be subjected to a far more comprehensive review.
