Hamburg, Germany — The Container Ship Safety Forum e.V. (CSSF) is pleased to announce that ShipIn Systems and American Bureau of Shipping (ABS) have joined as new Associated Members.
The Associated Membership category, introduced in 2025, allows the CSSF to involve key industry stakeholders beyond our ordinary members. With ShipIn Systems and ABS joining, CSSF continues to expand collaboration across the wider maritime industry and strengthen its role as a platform for improving safety performance and best practices in container shipping.
“We are delighted to welcome ShipIn Systems and ABS as Associated Members,” says Søren Thuen, First Chairman of the CSSF and representative of Maersk. “Their expertise in onboard AI risk management solutions and classification will bring valuable perspectives to our ongoing efforts to advance safety and operational excellence across the container sector.”
With these additions, the CSSF now counts six Associated Members, complementing its network of 29 ordinary members that together represent around half of the world’s fully cellular container ship capacity.
