Your cargo is safely screened and shipped to protect everyone involved in air transportation.

The Railway Minister remembers the October 2023 train accident to talk about the new safety measures to be installed in trains. #trains #collison #accident #railways #railwayminister #safetymeasures #surveillancesystem #primetimeresearchmedia

Will your Marine Cargo Insurance (ICC B or C) cover this incident. The answer is NO. Why? If we consider "1.1.4 collision or contact of vessel craft or conveyance with any external object other than water", it means the vessel coming into contact with an external objects and resulting into consequential loss of loss or damage to the cargo. Example is MV Dali allison with Francis Scot Bridge. The vessel itself came into contact with the bridge and not the cargo so the cargo damaged will be covered. In this situation, the vessel didn't have any contact with the bridge. It is the container that rather had contact with the bridge. So ICC A will cover but ICC B and C will not cover. The claim will fall under the Carriers Liability policy of the ship owner or management. The captain and the crew should have had prior knowledge about the length of the bridge and the required water line the vessel should have to pass under the bridge to avoid collision.

🚦Road safety measures save lives. In the last five years, 100,000 people died on European roads. Without bold action, the next five years could look the same. We are proud to join European Transport Safety Council (ETSC)'s #IWILLBEALIFESAVER campaign urging leaders to commit to: ✅ Reach the EU’s 2030 targets to reduce road deaths and serious injuries by 50%  ✅ Implement the EU and national measures to help achieve those targets. Cities are leading the charge to make streets safer for all. At Eurocities, we remain committed to supporting our members enhance road safety, working towards the goal of zero road fatalities by 2050. Answer the call to be a life-saver 📣 https://lnkd.in/ePi9CScv #RoadSafety #SafeStreets

Sad again to see another multiple fatality crash on New Zealand Roads - in this case involving tourists and Olympic skiers. So sad for their families and Friends. I recall doing a safety study on SH79 over a decade ago and this section of the highway had a bad crash record back then. I agree with the mayors comment that this is a dangerous stretch of road. Indeed in my view all of SH79 is substandard especially with a 100km/h speed limit. We may have got away with it being 100 in the past when traffic volumes were lower. But as traffic volume grow such substandard roads often have deteriorating safety. While improvements have been made to the route over the years it’s still in my view unsafe at 100 km/h. I have driven it several times as it’s on the most direct route to Queenstown from Christchurch. I agree with the Geraldine ward councillor that the speed limit should be dropped to 80 km/h. Should have already be dropped. Unfortunately it looks likely the new speed rule before Parliment may block such sensible interventions on dangerous roads, where speed is an issue. Indeed it is possible that existing speed limit reductions on other high risk roads may be increased from 80 back to 100. That’s of concern.

The deterioration of the shipping situation in the Red Sea is appalling. https://lnkd.in/gecnhq7B

After 26 years in the hazmat business, I agree there are some shippers who do offer undeclared dangerous goods to save money. However most violations like undeclared goods or other errors comes mostly from ignorance. I see so many companies who don’t even know they have hazardous materials or they take advantage of exceptions that don’t apply to them, for example. Incidents of non-compliance is becoming more frequent with the move away from instructor-led training in favor of exclusively computer based training. Most CBT does not teach the material the in the ways that adults learn best and many of them are incorrect, outdated, or incomplete. I believe mofst people and companies want to do the right thing. They just don’t know how. That is why I’m so passionate about my consulting work. I am driven to help people understand the regulations, which regs apply to their situation, and how to apply them and implement best practices in the real world. Properly managing a hazmat program saves lives, prevents injuries, and increases profitability, which means job security for employees. It is a win-win.

Accordingly, the National Safety Council (NSC), the national level organization working in the field of Safety, Health and Environment, appeal its members and patrons to observe 35th National Road Safety Month - 2024 in the month of January 2024 by undertaking various activities for promoting the road safety. #roadsafetyawareness #defence #traffic #accident #life #safety #police #pedestrian #investigation #journey #travel
