Carefully to Carry
Established in 1961, the C2C committee have produced many articles on cargoes that have caused many claims, and other cargo related issues such as hold washing, cargo securing, and ventilation.
All articles published by the committee are available to Members for download using the menu below, and are also available on disk and a paper volume. Member's also receive the latest reports from the committee by email, every other month through the departments email newsletter Loss Prevention News.
The quality of advice given has established Carefully to Carry as a key source of guidance for shipowners and ships' officers. In addition, the articles have frequently been the source of expertise in negotiations over the settlement of claims and have also been relied on in court hearings.
