Every container lost at sea will always be one too many and we will continue with our efforts to make the sea a safer place to work, and to protect the environment and cargo by reducing the number of containers lost at sea: John Butler, WSC
Improvements have been achieved over the years including improvements to Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) convention, Code of Practice for Packing of Cargo Transport Units (CTU Code) and ISO standards for container lashing equipment and corner castings.
