Open hatch ship operator joins ICHCA

International Cargo Handling Coordination Association (ICHCA) welcomed a new member from the ship-owning sector. G2 Ocean, a joint venture between Gearbulk and Grieg Maritime, intends to share and learn from ICHCA’s wide network in order to improve safety for both shore-side and sea-going workers.

ICHCA International invites all infrastructure owners and operators to join in constructive dialogue as it pursues its core purpose of improving the safe working environment of all those handling cargo across the worldwide maritime supply chain.

As such the news of a new member of the statue of G2 Ocean, controlling one of the largest fleets of open hatch ships in the world, is of considerable significance to the advancement of safety standards at the ship-shore interface, noted ICHCA in a statement.

“Once more the addition of a member to ICHCA which has an avowed commitment to safety and is proactively investigating the mechanics of day-to-day improvements is cause for celebration,” stated Richard Steele, ICHCA’s CEO.

He further added, “The fact that the additional member is a vessel owner of such size and influence in major maritime commodity trades is more reason for approbation.”
