The Cargo Integrity Group receives the support of Bureau International Containers and Centro Internazionale Studi Containers in publishing its Quick Guide to the CTU Code, says a press release published on their website.
CTU the greatest use
Continuing its mission to encourage the greatest use of, and adherence to, the guidance generated by the IMO, the ILO, and the UNECE and published in the Code of Practice for the Packing of Cargo Transport Units (CTU Code), the group of five international freight transport organizations has now added Italian to six other languages in which its Quick Guide is available.
In underlining the cooperation CIG has received in translating and providing peer review of
the text, Peregrine Storrs-Fox, Risk Management Director at freight transport insurer TT
Club commented, “It is vital to the cause of disseminating CIG’s Quick Guide to the CTU
Code as widely as possible that those who are involved first-hand in packing containers,
securing cargo and declaring content accurately can access in their own language this
introduction to the Code’s definition of good industry practice. We are indebted to BIC and
C.I.S.Co for their help with this Italian version. Their industry knowledge and expertise has
been key in producing an accurate translation.”
Delighted to publish in six languages
The Italian Quick Guide and Container Packing Checklist are available HERE in addition to
versions in all six official IMO languages – Arabic, Chinese, English, French, Russian and
Spanish. The Group is delighted to have been able to translate its publications into all these
languages, encouraging wider easy access to the materials.
Participating through video
To promote the Quick Guide and, in particular the Italian edition, partners in CIG will be
contributing to conference sessions during Genoa Shipping Week. In addition to Peregrine Storrs-Fox and Lars Kjaer, Senior Vice President of the World. Shipping Council will participate via video link. The presentations will profile the content and methods of utilization of the publications, and how they both distill and give access to
the lengthy and comprehensive CTU Code itself.
Dedicated to container operations
Giordano Bruno Guerrini, Secretary General of Genoa based C.I.S.Co, the specialist
consultancy group dedicated to container operations commented, “We are delighted to
have contributed to the publication of these significant documents in Italian. The pursuit of
safety within global supply chains is an aim of much of the work we carry out within the
industry and we remain dedicated to communicating all relevant information on this critical
issue.”
