Agenda: REVIEW OF THE 2011 GUIDELINES FOR THE CONTROL AND MANAGEMENT OF SHIPS' BIOFOULING TO MINIMIZE THE TRANSFER OF INVASIVE AQUATIC SPECIES (RESOLUTION MEPC.207(62)). Submitted by ICS and BIMCO
The International Chamber of Shipping (ICS), which represents over 80% of the world merchant fleet, strengthens national association membership with two new members.
The ICS Board has approved FEDIL Shipping, Luxembourg and the Brazilian Association of Cabotage Owners to join as Affiliate Member National Associations.
Following the China Shipowner’s Association joining ICS earlier this year, ICS membership now comprises national shipowners’ associations from 41 countries and territories.
This modern and practical medical guide from ICS has been written and reviewed by an international group of maritime medical practitioners and experts with many years' experience of working with and training seafarers and fishers. It can be used on board all ships and fishing vessels, anywhere in the world, and in onshore safety departments, medical assistance centres and training institutions who support seafarers and fishers.
The International Chamber of Shipping (ICS) and Suez Canal Authority (SCA) extend
landmark agreement.
The extension to the agreement, initially signed in May 2022 ahead of the COP27
meeting and intended to be a year-long commitment, signifies an ongoing
commitment to open communication between the ICS and the SCA.
The extension of the agreement represents formalisation of dialogue.
In joining ICS, your national association contributes to shaping the future of international shipping and influences the positions ICS represents to the regulators and other bodies which impact on shipping.
