Vehicle Carrier Safety Forum

Together with other maritime insurers and stakeholders, we helped to set up the Vehicle Carrier Safety Forum (VCSF) in 2021. This is an independent, not-for-profit organisation that is for and run by operators of roll-on roll-off ships and pure car/truck carriers.

The forum’s key objective is to connect owners and operators in an open and positive environment, enabling them to discuss and highlight operational and cargo-related issues so they can improve safety in the vehicle carrier industry.

What VCSF does

VCSF aims to achieve its objectives by:

• collecting and sharing information on operational and cargo-related incidents 
• analysing incident information to establish areas of concern and trends
• highlighting risks of certain vehicles, cargoes and operations
• identifying specific issues that may require action
• suggesting loss prevention measures 
• developing good practice guidelines.

A representative of our loss prevention team attends all forum meetings.
