Welcome to the latest edition of Inside ICHCA International, our regular e-newsletter for association members, partners and cargo handling industry colleagues worldwide.

The seminar was followed by the 79th Meeting of ICHCA's Technical Panel (formerly known as the ISP) which took place on 18th April in The Hague and was kindly hosted by APM Terminals.

ICHCA International continues to produce Cargo Handling Voice, a monthly news digest of industry, policy and regulatory developments related to safety, security, sustainability and efficiency in cargo handling across all transport modes and nodes.
