Context 

The proposed changes to ocean freight – IMO 2020 – is going to definitely impact the aid industry, especially the work involved in humanitarian logistics transport.  With this in mind, HLA is teaming up with GEODIS and Hapag Lloyd, to present and explain various aspects of the proposed changes.

It is a great opportunity to obtain firsthand knowledge about the proposed update from experts and to share your concerns, in order to be better prepared overall for the changes which come into effect in 2020.

This free webinar is of importance to all persons involved in the aid and humanitarian industry in particular senior management, operations staff, and logistics and procurement staff.

HLA is pleased to have this opportunity to increase awareness about this key issue, and to enable our members be more responsive and responsible where ocean freight transports are concerned. It is in line with our vision to support more environmentally-friendly means of logistics transportation, as discussed at the General Assembly, Nairobi 2019, and will be considered again at AidEx Brussels and IDR London.
