Plan now to attend a Dedicated 1-day Professional Awareness Course focusing on Regulations and Guidelines Relating to the Convention for Safe Containers.

Introduction
The Container Traders and Innovators Association (www.containa.org) is organising a 1-day Awareness Course on CSC (the Convention for Safe Containers) in Malta (2 dates: Tuesday 8 May and Wednesday 9 May). The aim of the Course is to provide participants with an increased awareness of CSC, to explain its implications for their companies, and to explain recent changes in regulations.
The Course is intended for operational/technical staff who are involved in container operations, shipping, handling, leasing, inspection, sales, trading, transport and depot management.
The Course has been approved by the Malta Maritime Forum and is part of the MMF’s Education Portfolio. It will take place at The Mediterranean Maritime Research Training Center (MMRTC).
About the Course
The Course provides a background to the CSC, explaining the rules governing the standards to which all containers are subject. It consists of a presentation introducing the CSC and the reasons for it, followed on by an explanation and analysis of CSC’s requirements and criteria.
The Course clarifies the fundamental differences between “ACEP” and “Next Inspection Date”, bringing awareness to structurally sensitive components / container safety.
Other related industry criteria and regulations are covered, thus providing a background to the industry. Associated factors dealing with the structural integrity of the units (such as repairs and repair quality) are also looked at.
There is also a short video which provides a guideline illustrating how containers are produced.
