Intercargo strengthens dry bulk position

INTERCARGO timed the announcement to coincide with its semi annual meetings in Dubai this week. The milestone is based on a dwt based assessment of the global dry bulk fleet. INTERCARGO now represents more than 3,200 bulkers registered by more than 155 dry bulk owners/managers/operators, with its membership supplemented by 90 associate member companies supporting the sector. 

INTERCARGO’s members predominantly operate bulk carriers in the volume dry bulk trades, such as coal, grain, iron ore and other bulk commodities. The association draws its members from 30 different countries.

INTERCARGO plays an active role in international maritime forums, including at the International Maritime Organization, where it has Non Governmental Organisation (NGO) status, and as a member of the shipping industry Round Table.

Commenting on the membership rise, Dr Kostas Gkonis, INTERCARGO Secretary General, attributed the association’s growth path over the past few years, as well as its high membership retention rate, to “the significance of the dedicated work we carry out on behalf of our global membership.”
