The World Transport Council (WSC) has released a new report that has briefly released the shortcomings that governments have discovered in cargo inspection programs and revived a series of vital data that the International Organization (IMO) cut off last year.
In Report 2024 Indicate that inspectors have found defects 11.39 % Of load cargoes, a little of the final shape of IMO 2023 of the IMO shape 11 %Human
These include Dangerous and declared goods, inaccurate documentation and incorrect packaging – All of this can lead to serious safety accidents, including the fire.
In addition, the WSC report continues a series of data to 2011 using port status inspection data.
According to international law, port states may inspect containers to ensure cargoes and standards, including appropriate declarations and packaging of dangerous goods.
Joe Karimak, President and CEO of the World Transport Council“Freight safety starts with the correct declaration and secure packaging of the goods,” he said. It endangers cargo deficiencies, crews, ships, cargo and the environment.
“With the continuation of this report, we can identify trends and take appropriate steps to improve transportation safety. With only the seven ports that are currently reporting, there is an opportunity for more governments to help their data, strengthen the global image, and help transport for everyone.”
