Protecting Our Oceans From Container Pollution
Every year, over 1600 shipping containers are estimated to be lost at sea, posing a significant problem for the industry. This issue has been exacerbated by the increasing frequency of extreme weather events. In response, CRS (Container Rescue System) has emerged as a solution to address this concern.
CRS has devised an innovative concept to salvage containers that fall overboard. Our approach involves a new line floatable containers equipped with satellite tracking, designed to activate upon detecting a container's fall into the water.
Changing the world is possible.
Every day, as vast shipping vessels traverse the world's oceans, containers inadvertently fall overboard, posing a significant threat to the delicate marine ecosystem. However, amidst these challenges, our company stands as a beacon of environmental responsibility, dedicated to rescuing these lost containers and safeguarding the oceanic realm. Through our unwavering commitment, we strive to mitigate the ecological impact caused by these incidents. By swiftly mobilizing resources, employing innovative retrieval techniques, and collaborating with global partners, we work tirelessly to protect marine life, preserve delicate habitats, and ensure a sustainable future for our oceans. Together, we can make a profound difference and inspire a new era of container management, fostering a harmonious coexistence between maritime commerce and ecological preservation.

New IMO Regulations on Mandatory Reporting of Lost Containers at Sea
From January 1, 2026, new amendments to the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) will require mandatory reporting of all containers lost at sea. These amendments, adopted by the International Maritime Organization (IMO), aim to enhance maritime safety and protect the environment by ensuring prompt and detailed reporting of lost and drifting containers.
Under SOLAS Chapter V, Regulations 31 and 32, ship Masters must report any container lost overboard or observed drifting to nearby ships, the nearest coastal state, and their flag State. Reports must include details such as the position of the lost containers, the total number lost, and whether any contained dangerous goods. The flag State will then submit this information to the IMO via the Global Integrated Shipping Information System (GISIS).
The World Shipping Council (WSC) welcomes these new requirements as a significant step forward for navigational safety and ocean protection.
