scheme for the global dry bulk industry intercargo.org/drybms/

INTERCARGO and RightShip are
founding partners of DryBMS, a
quality standard for the dry bulk
sector. Safety, environmental

and operational excellence are
promoted through company self-
assessment against established

industry key performance
indicators and performance
benchmarks.

During the course of 2022/2023, INTERCARGO, along with
RightShip, has continued to work on the implementation of
the DryBMS self-assessment scheme with an emphasis on
its governance and administration. Ongoing dialogue be-
tween the co-founders has been an essential part of the
development process of a management structure which, it
is envisaged, will manage the day-to-day operation of Dry-
BMS going forward.

The current work programme involves the establishment of
a pilot scheme to test the user interfaces with the approved
software and hosting platform and to ensure all protocols
are effective and fit for purpose. This part of the project, in-
tegral to DryBMS going live is anticipated to take place dur-
ing Q4 2023.
