Mr. Lomas, secretary general of The International Association of Dry Cargo Shipowners (Intercargo) outlines a priority of Intercargo in bringing to the attention of the International Maritime Organization the need to ensure that all the guidance and safety measures related to cargos loaded on bulk carriers are adhered to. In particular he makes mention of nickel ore cargo loaded in far east ports.
The International Association of Dry Cargo Shipowners -- www. Intercargo.org
Our members operate predominantly Bulk Carriers in the international dry bulk trades, such as coal, grain, iron ore and other bulk commodities. Our main role is to work with our members, the regulators and other Shipping Associations to ensure that shipping operates safely, efficiently, environmentally and profitably. To do this, we actively participate in the development of global legislation through the International Maritime Organization and other similar bodies.
