The Institute of International Container Lessors (IICL), as part of its continued rollout of the IICL 6 Inspection Criteria and Processes, has just released its IICL 6 Inspection Overview Video that introduces the dry container inspection process under the IICL 6.

Bureau Veritas has announced that it is to class the first container ship to be converted to run on LNG fuel, a 1,036 TEU ship, WES AMELIE, owned by Germany’s Wessels Reederei. Bureau Veritas said the classification work for the conversion is the first of its type worldwide.

The Container Owners Association has announced the two container interchange inspection standards used by container operators and the container leasing industry have harmonised.

Despite short-term uncertainty over what global rules on container weighing hold for the industry, insurers are looking for long-term safety benefits.

Though clearly frustrated at the lack of leadership some authorities are showing when it comes to implementing the new VGM requirement, the IMO is not going to delay implementation.

Celine Wei, president of Florens Container Services USA, has been elected to the position of chairman of the Institute of International Container Lessors (IICL) for 2014, succeeding Jeremy Matthew, Group CEO of Seaco Srl.
