ICHCA promotes a safe working environment for all workers throughout the global maritime supply chain and encourages stakeholders to pull together to this end. It welcomes RightShip’s participation, calling it a ‘significant development towards its goals’.

“We welcome the addition of a member which has such a clear commitment to safety and is proactively striving for environmentally sustainable and socially beneficial solutions to the industry’s risk mitigation challenges,” said Richard Steele, ICHCA’s chief executive.

“We are proud of the diverse nature of our membership. This fuels our strength of purpose and is vital in enabling ICHCA to be a relevant influence on the standards of safety through our industry and around the world.”
