CINS – Cargo Incident Notification System
CINS is a shipping line initiative, launched in September 2011, developed to increase safety in the supply chain, reduce the number of cargo incidents on-board ships and highlight the risks caused by certain cargoes and/or packing failures.
Analysis of cargo and container incidents
CINS permits analysis of operational information on all cargo and container incidents which lead to:
- Injury or loss of life
- Loss or serious damage of assets
- Environmental concerns
