TT Club Urges Immediate Action on Box Weighing
2015-07-10 17:55:33| Logistics - Topix.net
Provider of insurance and related risk management services to the transport and logistics industry TT Club said it welcomes the initiative of the World Shipping Council in its recent publication of guidelines to the industry in relation to implementing the SOLAS requirements that become mandatory on July 1, 2016. Unlike the CTU Code, which forensically seeks to identify the chain of responsibility for everyone involved in the movement of freight, the amendment to the Safety of Life at Sea Convention mandating the verification of gross mass of container overtly only names the 'shipper', the 'master' and the 'terminal representative', and by implication the competent authorities, the club said.
