Ince Denizcilik has joined INTERCARGO as a full member, enhancing Turkish shipowners' global representation in dry bulk shipping.
Ince Shipping, one of the established companies in the Turkish maritime sector, has become a full member of the International Dry Cargo Shipowners Association (INTERCARGO), which represents dry bulk ship owners, operators, and managers worldwide.
Ince Shipping's membership has been officially listed in the international organization's member directory under the name INCE SHIPPING GROUP and with the status of Full Member.
The acquisition of full membership status by the Istanbul-based company in the organization representing the international dry cargo transportation sector marks a new development in the representation of Turkish shipowners in global maritime organizations.
INTERCARGO represents dry cargo shipowners.
Founded in 1980, INTERCARGO operates with the aim of promoting the safe, efficient, and environmentally responsible operation of dry bulk carriers in international maritime transportation.
The organization, which holds consultative status with the International Maritime Organization (IMO) under the United Nations, brings the technical views and operational needs of the sector to the forefront during the preparation of international regulations concerning dry cargo transportation.
Among INTERCARGO's areas of work are ship safety, crew safety, cargo operations, environmental regulations, and the decarbonization of maritime transport.
INTERCARGO conducts technical studies aimed at reducing the structural safety and operational risks of dry bulk carriers.
Particularly, the risks of cargo shifting and liquefaction that can arise during the transportation of bulk goods are among the main safety issues emphasized by the organization.
The organization also prepares technical guidelines and assessments aimed at the safety of loading and unloading operations, the working conditions of ship personnel, and the prevention of maritime accidents.
Problems encountered in international port and terminal operations are also addressed within the scope of the studies conducted by INTERCARGO with industry representatives.
Green transition and international regulations are on the agenda.
INTERCARGO's activities also encompass regulations aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the maritime sector and the use of alternative fuels.
While the organization follows the environmental regulatory work conducted within the IMO, it contributes to the evaluation of the operational characteristics and technical requirements of dry bulk carriers.
Ballast water management, ship-generated emissions, energy efficiency, and environmental compliance are also among the topics of the organization's work.
Ince Shipping on the international member list.
The full membership of Istanbul-based Ince Shipping is confirmed in INTERCARGO's official member directory.
With full membership status, the company will be able to participate in international sector activities related to dry bulk transportation and the activities directed towards INTERCARGO's members.
