The ICS Global Health Emergency Guide: Helping Shipping Companies and Crew Prepare, Act and Recover provides a comprehensive and practical framework for shipping companies to get ahead and prepare for any future global health emergency. Drawing on lessons learned from Covid-19, Mpox and other global health emergencies that have affected shipping operations, this guide sets out a step-by-step action plan that can be implemented within the safety management system and incorporated into the company crisis management plan.

With extensive insights from global agencies, shipping companies, crews, medical professionals and welfare organisations, this guide allows companies to prepare for, act on, and return to normal operations after, a global health emergency.

Each part (before, during and after) comes with a handy toolkit of more than 30 checklists, posters, templates and forms to help companies practically implement these protocols into their safety management system and deliver on their crisis management plan in the event of an outbreak. The guide can be used across all shipping company departments on shore and on board, and encompasses all stages of emergency response.
