Hamburg, Germany — The Container Ship Safety Forum (CSSF) is pleased to announce the launch of a new membership category: Associated Members. This initiative allows selected maritime stakeholders, such as classification societies, technology providers, research institutions, NGOs, and insurers, to formally advise and involve themselves in the CSSF community.
“Safety is a shared responsibility across the maritime industry. By welcoming trusted stakeholders in an advisory capacity, CSSF builds a broader platform for shared insight and practical progress, ultimately strengthening safety across the sector,” says Søren Thuen, First Chairman of CSSF and representative of Maersk.
“Expanding the CSSF network to include Associated Members is a natural step forward. Their perspectives can enrich our discussions and help us challenge assumptions, while keeping the focus on improving safety management practices,” says Swapnodeep Mondal, Second Chairman of CSSF and representative of Anglo-Eastern.
Associated Members may attend the open session of CSSF member meetings, take part in working groups and committees, and contribute in an advisory capacity.
Organisations interested in becoming Associated Members can contact the CSSF Secretariat to learn more and request an application form.
