Members gain access to cross-industry sources of knowl-
edge, and engage in drafting strategy for both the dry bulk

at International Maritime Organization (IMO) deliberations.
INTERCARGO serves as an information and experience-shar-

related to terminals and loading/unloading at anchorage on

and issues of interest to its membership that go beyond specif-

quality self-assessment scheme for the dry bulk sector.
