• CCC 3/5/20 to offer an alternative to the IMSBC Code to enhance safety pro-
cedures for the ship and crew in carrying Group A cargoes, dated 15 July
2016.
• CCC 5/5/9– proposal to divide the existing individual schedule for AMMO-
NIUM NITRATE BASED FERTILIZER (non-hazardous) into two schedules,
dated 20 June 2018
• CCC 5/INF.17 to provide additional information on hazards of AMMONIUM
NITRATE BASED FERTILIZER, dated 5 July 2018
• CCC 8/5/1– proposal of a minor correction of the IMSBC Code in order to
reflect the existing requirement for shippers to declare a technical aspect of
cargoes, dated 14 March 2022.
• DSC 18/6/28 on the Transport of Iron Ore Fines in Bulk, dated 26 July 2013.

Timely and accurate flag state reports of casualties are vital. Ultimately, existing
SOLAS, MARPOL, LOADLINE, IMSBC Codes and conventions should be mod-
ified if it can be clearly shown that crew lives can be saved.

It is the intention of INTERCARGO to continue to work tirelessly with all stake-
holders in order to improve bulk carrier safety and ultimately to strive for zero
losses of seafarers and zero losses of dry bulk ships.
