CTUPack E-Learning

As consistently evidenced by the experience of both global freight transport insurer, TT Club and the Cargo Incident Notification System (CINS) Organisation, poor CTU packing is responsible for an alarmingly high number of incidents leading to damage, loss, injuries and fatalities. Additionally, the declaration of incorrect container weight (or Gross Mass) also contributes to adverse safety conditions.

The introduction of the Code of Practice for Packing of Cargo Transport Units (CTU Code) formulated jointly by three United Nations bodies, IMO, ILO and UNECE, and approved as non-mandatory international law, was introduced to try to improve the problem of poor CTU packing globally.

Originally launched in 2014, CTUpack e-learning is for those involved in the loading and unloading of CTUs. The Introduction to the CTU Code was developed with sponsorship from the TT Club and with the support of ICHCA.
