The International Chamber of Shipping (ICS), which represents global shipowners and 80% of the world merchant fleet, has welcomed the decision by the IMO Sub-Committee on Safety of Navigation (held from 2nd to 6th July in London) to take action to address operating anomalies with ECDIS, and to reject a proposal to establish a new recommended route for all ships in the Mozambique Channel that
would have been approximately 1,000 miles long.
