The ICS/WSC Guidelines reflect the good practices already undertaken by the majority of responsible companies, but they have been consolidated to provide a useful resource that should benefit all concerned with the safe transport of containers.
In addition to addressing the responsibilities of ship operators and their crews, the Guide is aimed at those concerned with the booking and assignment of cargoes, and arrangements for stowage planning, as well as freight forwarders, ports and terminal operators and - particularly important - shippers.
The intention is to provide advice on all those activities that have a direct bearing on the safety of ships and their cargoes, and the reduction of the risks to the lives of ships' crews and other personnel in the transport chain. To provide additional value and utility, the book is accompanied with a CD version with a search function. Particular emphasis is given to:
- International regulations
- Correct packing, labelling and weighing of cargoes (including dangerous goods) when they are stuffed into containers
- Safe handling and stowage of containers when loaded on board a ship
- Planning and the use of computer systems
- Maintenance and inspection

If you live in a remote area, a ‘remote area surcharge’ may be applicable when booking your order on with a courier service for dispatch. A remote area surcharge is an additional fee that is added by a courier service for delivery to a remote location.

If any items are temporarily out of stock, we will endeavour to dispatch the complete order within 7 working days. We always endeavour to ship complete orders and try our best not to ship part orders as a general rule, but on occasion this rule may have grounds for it to be broken due to the varying nature of orders received. We will always try our best to communicate the status of your order should any issue arise that we feel you need to be made aware of.
