RightShip and INTERCARGO announced the official launch of the Dry Bulk Centre of Excellence (DBCE), a not-for-profit industry organisation dedicated to the administration of the Dry Bulk Management Standard (DryBMS) framework.
In particular, DryBMS was developed by INTERCARGO and RightShip, as an industry tool to raise standards and best practices across safety, security, environmental performance, and social welfare in the dry shipping sector.
As informed, DBCE will be run by an independent management team and will adopt a governance model convened from ship owners, managers, and charterers. This will foster greater cooperation and collaboration between key stakeholders and achieve the common purpose of improving standards and driving operational excellence via active industry participation.
The DBCE Board of Directors will be chaired alternatively by representatives from the community of ship owners/ ship managers and charterers and will have representation from RightShip, INTERCARGO and other industry stakeholders creating a truly collaborative industry initiative.
