New IACS chair outlines priorities

Mr Wiernicki said. “My priorities for 2015-2016 strike a balance between the completion of ongoing projects and the need to look forward and formulate the next generation of IACS guidelines, unified and procedural requirements.”

In the coming year, his focus areas will also include ensuring a smooth completion of the initial round of audits for the IMO Goal-Based Standards process.

He will also advance the creation of a cyber-system safety framework that addresses control systems, software quality assurance, data integrity and cyber security.

Mr Wiernicki assumed the role of IACS Chairman at the end of the 71st session of the IACS Council in Paris on 2 July 2015.
