The policies of ICS are developed by a network of specialist committees that seek to reconcile the different national and sectoral views of ship operators with the various issues which confront the shipping industry. At one level ICS has to strive for agreement amongst operators from many different countries with, perhaps, strongly different views. At another ICS may have to reconcile a conflict of different sectors a proposed industry position that may be in the interests of containership operators might not be always be in the best interests of other categories of ship. Similarly the shipping arms of the major oil companies might not always see eye to eye with the independent oil tanker operators. The task of the ICS Committees is to agree a consensus viewpoint that can be formulated into an international policy, which in turn can be communicated and represented effectively by ICS on the international industry's behalf. The ICS Committees comprise representatives nominated by national
shipowners' associations who are expert in their specialist fields
and who are drawn from both national associations and individual
shipping companies. |
