Liner lobby group launches Website

The World Shipping Council, a Washington, DC-based trade association
representing more than 40 liner shipping companies has launched its own Website at www.worldshipping.org.

Members include the largest container lines in the world as well as smaller niche carriers, and carriers providing roll-on/roll-off and heavy-lift services. In addition to ocean transportation, it provides a wide range of intermodal and logistics services to importers and exporters.

The council’s stated mandate is to provide a co-ordinated voice for the liner shipping industry in its work with policymakers and other industry groups interested in international transportation issues, including regulatory policy, tax issues, safety, the environment, harbour dredging and upgrading the infrastructure needed to handle trade.
