Updated Industry Guidelines on the Carriage of Seed Cake in Containers
The carriage of Seed Cake cargoes continues to cause confusion and the potential for mis-declaration remains high - with the consequent risk of fire on board container ships. Seed Cake is the term used for pulp, cake, pellets, expellers or other cargo where oil has been removed from oil-bearing seeds, cereals or commodities with similar properties, including all such types of seed meal. It is principally used as an ingredient in animal feeds.

International Group clubs respond to the US Government sanctions guidance for maritime and related industries.
On 14 May 2020 the US issued a Global Maritime Advisory (“Guidance”) aimed at a range of industry sectors including marine insurers such as P&I clubs, shipowners and charterers.
“The Group is committed to keeping under active review the ways in which clubs collectively deliver benefits for their shipowner members, and looking to the future, to ensuring that the Group’s pooling and reinsurance arrangements, which support the very comprehensive cover provided to the clubs' shipowner members, evolve and adapt to meet the challenges of new technologies which are being developed within the shipping industry and the new regulatory challenges facing both shipowners and marine insurers.”
