The International Chamber of Shipping (ICS) and Witherby Publishing Group have released a new edition of ‘Drug Trafficking and Drug Abuse On Board Ship - Guidelines for Owners and Masters on Preparation, Prevention, Protection and Response’.
The Vehicle Carrier Safety Forum is a consortium of vessel operators, insurers and other industry experts, whose role is to promote safety on vessels designed to carry vehicles. The guidance is supported by industry bodies the International Group of P&I Clubs, the International Chamber of Shipping and the TT Club. The guidelines are intended to be used by vessel operators when considering their own fire response policies and procedures with a particular emphasis on using existing fixed firefighting systems to control vehicle fires early in their development.
These guidelines have been designed to reduce the risk to the safety of crews, passengers, the environment and the vessel. The aim is to assist vessel operators and crews to be better prepared to meet the challenges presented by vehicle fires.
