Why join ICHCA?

Industry knowledge

ICHCA International has an extensive range of specialist publications on best practice in cargo handling operations. With more than 90 documents covering health and safety guidance, technical and operational practicalities, regulatory requirements and more, the ICHCA library represents a valuable repository of cargo handling expertise.

The publications are grouped into eight core series:

Technical advice

ICHCA’s technical advice service provides a trusted source of information on cargo handling practice, policy and regulations.

Members can pose confidential questions to the Technical Advisor on any aspect of cargo handling and will receive feedback based on an extensive library of past queries and first-hand industry knowledge, including the active input of the Technical Panel.

Compared with using channels such as LinkedIn to solicit feedback from sources whose qualifications to comment may not be fully known, ICHCA’s technical advice service gives Members a guarantee of quality information from experienced industry practitioners.

“Having a strong global reference point for technical questions is very important.

When new issues arise, there is a panel of technical experts who can research and report on the issue and lobby where necessary on a very high level.”

Influence policy

The chance to participate in ICHCA’s NGO work and influence cargo handling legislation and policy.

Discounted events

Special rates to attend ICHCA seminars, conferences, roadshows and networking events.

Cross-sector networking

Some issues negatively impact business and cannot be resolved alone. ICHCA gets everyone round the table to share and communicate so that stakeholders can solve issues together.

Training & E-learning

Discounted training courses, including IMDG Code compliance and proper CTU packing.

Discounted IMO Publications

Discounts on all IMO publications.
