Project Purpose

Text Area
default<click here to edit>
idproject_purpose
The UNCTAD Minimum Standards for Ship Agents (ref. UNCTAD/ST/SHIP/13) were issued in 1988 in response to a request from the UNCTAD Ad Hoc Intergovernmental Group to Consider Means of Combatting all Aspects of Maritime Fraud, including Piracy. As stated in the introduction, “they are non-mandatory in nature and are to serve as guidelines for national authorities and professional associations in establishing their own standards”. Changes to operational practices in ship agency profession since the issue of the 1988 Standards and the increasing emphasis on quality service provision indicate that a review of the Standards is necessary to ensure they reflect current practices and therefore remain relevant and reflect current practice.
UNCTAD no longer publishes documents of this nature and they have asked if UN/CEFACT would consider to publish an update of these standards as a trade facilitation recommendation.
