INTERCARGO fleet performance & operational excellence

INTERCARGO, through its members, is committed to operational excellence in the
areas of safety, security, health and the environment. INTERCARGO maintains a
robust and strict policy for entry which, by design, exceeds industry averages. In
2021, vessels entered with INTERCARGO consistently bettered industry perfor-
mance indicators in terms of both deficiencies and detentions.

The annual benchmarking of INTERCARGO’s entered fleet demonstrates contin-
ued improvement compared with the industry in terms of both detentions and de-
ficiencies as shown in the tables below.
Throughout the worldwide pandemic and the crisis in Ukraine, INTERCARGO has
ensured that members have been continually kept up to date with relevant develop-
ments and have been able to maintain their focus on quality operations throughout.
