PZI (Platform for Zero Incidents) a joint industry safety initiative that strives for Zero incidents within the inland shipping sector, and Shell Shipping and Maritime have initiated an inland barge safety program in 2020 with focus on Preventing People from Falling into the Water. Several inland tanker operators, training institutes and other stakeholder have joined and are supporting the safety program with the ambitious goal to “Eliminate fatal or severe person overboard incidents in the European inland barging industry”.

Since WHO organizes the 1st World Drowning Prevention Day today, as an advocacy event to highlight the tragic and profound impact of drowning on families and communities and offer life-saving solutions to prevent it, PZI would like to asks your attention for this topic.
