Intertanko MD calls for consistency


Peter Swift says shipowners seek consistency in international regulations and global governance.

Intertanko's Managing Director Peter Swift has called for consistency in international regulations, standards and global governance during an overview of some of the principal issues facing shipowners today.

Speaking at the Second Seoul International Maritime & Shipbuilding Conference (SIMS2) last week in South Korea, Swift said that shipowners were seeking consistency in international standards, whilst providing safe, secure, cost-effective and environmentally sound maritime transportation.

Commenting on the environmental challenges ahead, Swift referred to a number of issues including the management of toxic air and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.

The second Seoul International Maritime & Shipbuilding Conference (SIMS2) was organised by the Korean Register of Shipping (KR) and this year was attended by more than 150 representatives of the Korean shipping, shipbuilding and related industries.
