Everyone in the ocean freight shipping industry, including freight forwarders, supports ways to reduce any harmful emissions into the environment. New technologies that will help improve the environmental conduct is vital, but the shipping industry must also track the progress made. That is where the Clean Cargo Working Group comes into play.
The threat of piracy on the ocean freight shipping industry has been profound over the past decade.
