WSC Launches AI Tool to Prevent Cargo Fires

AI tackles shipping’s fire hazard. Ship fires are at their highest level in a decade, and misdeclared hazardous cargo is one of the biggest culprits. The World Shipping Council has launched the Cargo Safety Program, bringing together carriers representing more than 70% of global TEU capacity. Using an AI-powered screening tool, the system scans millions of bookings in real time to flag dangerous shipments before they are loaded. Shared inspection standards and a feedback loop aim to make seas safer for crews, vessels, cargo and the environment.

🚢 67 Containers Overboard at Port of Long Beach (USA)- What We Can Learn Recently, 67 containers toppled from a vessel near Pier G, leading to cargo loss, damage to nearby infrastructure, and temporary operational disruption. Thankfully, no injuries were reported, but this incident is a wake-up call for the global logistics community. Key Lessons -Even with standard securing procedures, imbalances and lashing failures can trigger domino collapses. -Submerged or drifting containers pose hidden environmental, financial and safety risks. -Operational and reputational costs extend far beyond the immediate cargo loss. Where the Focus Should Be ✅ Accurate weight declarations – to maintain proper stack balance ✅ Stronger lashing & securing standards –> backed by regular inspections and quality gear ✅ AI & sensor-based monitoring –> real-time visibility to detect risks before escalation ✅ Robust cargo insurance & contracts –> because even the best systems cannot prevent every accident ✅ Emergency response readiness –> clear protocols between vessel, port and authorities 🏅As Maritime Analytica rightly emphasized: modernization with AI, dynamic sensors and predictive safety systems is no longer optional, it’s essential. 🌍 Ultimately, resilience is built at the container level. Every secured box protects not just cargo, but lives, supply chains and the integrity of global trade itself.

World Shipping Council deploys AI in fight against misdeclared cargoes The World Shipping Council (WSC) has unveiled its new Cargo Safety Program, aimed at tackling the critical issue of misdeclared and undeclared dangerous goods. Utilizing advanced artificial intelligence, this initiative seeks to prevent ship fires, safeguard crew members, protect cargo, and preserve the marine environment. With ship fires reaching a decade-high, this program addresses a pressing concern within the shipping industry. https://lnkd.in/gjDzWWaf

The World Shipping Councial (WSC) will combine the power of AI with ordinary inspection standards in an effort to reduce the numbers of fires and cargo accidents caused by mis-declared freight. According to the Allianz Safety and Shipping Review 2025 ship fires have reached their highest levels in a decade and mis-declared dangerous cargoes are the major causes of these fires. Shippers can mis-declare freight intentionally to avoid paying premium freight rates, or unintentionally not realising that the freight that they have packed can heat up as the ship sails across the ocean. https://lnkd.in/eW_RNKZd
