Intercargo is an international association that represents the interests of high-quality dry cargo shipowners. Since its establishment in 1980 in London, Intercargo has been actively engaging with the International Maritime Organization (IMO) and participating in key discussions on safety, environmental concerns, and operational excellence. The association provides a platform for dry bulk shipowners, managers, and operators to exchange ideas, raise concerns, and stay informed about regulatory challenges in the industry.

Intercargo's primary focus is ensuring the safe and efficient operation of shipping while prioritizing environmental protection and operational efficiency. They work closely with regulators, shipping associations, and other international bodies to develop global legislation that promotes these goals. With a special emphasis on safety and quality, Intercargo represents shipowners involved in international dry bulk trades such as coal, grain, and iron ore.

Their work covers a wide range of topics including cargo handling, maritime regulations, emissions, piracy, and more. In addition to their advocacy work, Intercargo actively encourages the adoption of a zero-tolerance policy towards illegal wildlife trade and supports practical measures to combat it. Led by the current chairman, Mr.

Dimitris J. Fafalios and staffed by a dedicated team, Intercargo continues to play a pivotal role in shaping the future of the dry cargo shipping industry
