Cruise Ship Safety Forum
The first meeting of the newly formed Cruise Ship Safety Forum (CSSF) took place in London a few weeks ago under the coordination of Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA). The Forum is a consortium of cruise ship operators, ship yards, classification societies and CLIA to advance cruise ship safety in a coordinated and focused manner. |
The Forum's purpose is threefold: - To develop strategic direction for advancing cruise ship safety issues in their broadest sense;
- To proactively address issues as they relate to the future of the industry, as they pertain to the design and construction of new passenger ships and modification of existing cruise ships; and
- To provide a forum to consider regulatory and other safety initiatives and develop a coordinated response to external bodies such as the International Maritime Organization (IMO).
|
As part of its initial work, CSSF will be focusing on an initiative of the IMO known as "safe return to port" regarding the design and operation of a passenger ship to allow it to safely return to port in the event of a major accident or incident. The Forum's activities will be guided by a steering committee comprised of senior executives from the three major cruise lines: Carnival Corporation, Royal Caribbean Cruises and Norwegian Cruise Line; shipyards: Aker Yards, Meyer Werft and Fincantieri; and classification societies: DNV, Lloyd's Register and RINA; and CLIA. |
