Cargo Incident Notification System

Summary

Industry-wide cargo-incident data-sharing platform + expert panel. Not a certification body per se but the coordinating framework for container-cargo-incident investigation + response. Substantially expanded following the 2021 X-Press Pearl + 2020 Wakashio + 2019 Grande America fires.

Membership is company-level (container-shipping operators). Surveyors work under member-company mandate.
