trend

"Although the international transportation of organically grown food cargoes in bulk is not yet a large scale operation, the average consumer's concern with the way food is produced is a growing trend in most developed countries. Gard is not aware of any claims against Members specifically involving allegations of diminished value or quality of organically grown food cargoes as a result of on board carriage. However, since shipping such bulk cargoes long distances is expected to become increasingly common, the future may be different.

The purpose of this circular is to alert ship operators and their Masters to the increase in international trade of organic foods and the fact that special requirements will apply when organically grown food cargoes are carried in bulk."
