Around 170 participants from 90 companies contributed to the discussions. The general meeting is the central event during which ITCO members, customers and other players in the tank container industry can meet in a professional environment to discuss latest developments and receive updates on the evolution of the organisation itself.

And looking at day-to-day business participants explored how to improve risk management by learning from insurance claims. The next ITCO General Meeting will take place in Dubai in December 2016.
