Informal Bulker Operators' Safety Forum
Welcome to the Informal Bulker Operators' Safety Forum (IBOSF) – your gateway to a safer and more collaborative future in the world of bulk carriers. As a pivotal force in global trade, bulk carriers navigate the challenges of transporting massive quantities of dry commodities such as coal, iron ore, and grains. However, with approximately 13,000 bulk carriers traversing the seas, a dedicated platform for addressing the unique safety challenges faced by this industry has been notably absent – until now.
Our Mission
At IBOSF, we recognize the critical role bulk carriers play in the global trade ecosystem. Our mission is to bridge the existing gap in the industry by establishing an open and collaborative platform for bulk carrier safety professionals. We aim to provide a space where these professionals can engage in discussions surrounding health, safety, security, and environmental (HSSE) issues prevalent in their daily operations.
IBOSF goes beyond addressing high-impact incidents like explosions or collisions. We delve into the root causes of these events, focusing on a comprehensive understanding of the underlying issues affecting bulk carriers.
Our participants actively collaborate to create practical solutions that can be readily implemented across various bulk carrier fleets. We believe in the power of collective expertise to devise strategies that enhance safety measures.
IBOSF encourages the exchange of experiences and best practices, fostering a culture of continuous improvement and safety innovation. By sharing knowledge, we contribute to a collective effort to elevate safety standards in the bulk carrier industry.
Each IBOSF meeting results in a comprehensive summary of discussions, highlighting successful practices and innovative solutions. This documentation serves as a valuable resource for the industry, providing insights into effective safety measures.
