ICHCA International, the NGO association for the global cargo handling industry, will be hosting a practical seminar, 'Understanding the new IMO/ILO/UNECE Code of Practice for Packing of Cargo Transport Units (CTUs)', in London on 22 October. Held aboard HQS Wellington on the River Thames, the one-day event will focus on the new Code's terms, their potential impact, and how they will be enforced globally. More broadly, the seminar will address how in practical terms the industry can tackle the endemic problems currently caused by poor packing and securing of cargoes in containers, trailers and other transport units.
