The ROUND TABLE of international shipping associations

Vision for the shipping industry: “ A responsible, sustainable and respected industry able to influence its own destiny.”

Examples of Round Table cooperation: Improved dialogue with IACS Tripartite meetings of owners, builders and class Flag State guidelines Industry guidelines on Recycling The “image” of shipping

Regional versus international developments Security – MTSA vs. ISPS Liability – EU Penal Sanctions vs. International Conventions Safety & Environment – EU (Post Erika & Prestige) vs. IMO/Marpol & SOLAS Sulphur Levels – EU, USA vs. IMO

Two Questions that we have asked ourselves: Can the Round Table involve regional shipping voices more effectively in global (and other regional) arenas ? Does the Round Table have a role in supporting local and regional shipping associations in their local and regional issues ?
