STIMA - Sicurezza dei trasporti in mare


	SHIPPING OPERATORS One of the nerve centres of transportation and of shipping in general is the port. All the industry “players” move and act around this facility: ship-owners, crews, forwarders, carriers, drivers, service suppliers, etc. Since as early as January 1st 1999 virtually all of the EU short sea shipping services have been accessible to the EU ship-owners who use ships registered in a EU member country, so there’s the need to have a global picture from a European standpoint. This section of the STIMA web site explores safety, with special reference to operators’ regulations and problems and to the initiatives launched by the operators’ trade associations.
