| TAC advises the Board on all regulatory and major technical
matters and is thus the competent body for all issue related to safety and environment
friendliness. These topics are of major concern to European shipyards, as much to the
European citizens. CESA is firmly committed to contribute to improvements in this field.
Its formally recognized consultative status with the International Maritime Organisation
(IMO) as well as the Central Commission for the Navigation of the Rhine offers the
opportunity to provide the expertise of TAC to the regulatory authorities. Relevant
activities are also coordinated within the industry world wide in the Committee for the
Elimination of Substandard Ships (CESS), which has been chaired for many years by the
European delegation. |
