Find out more below about the different organizations we work with to build the safest cargo-securing solutions.
Association of American Railroads
AAR is the world’s leading railroad policy, research, standard setting and technology organization and focuses on the safety and productivity of the US freight rail industry.
Like Cordstrap, AAR puts tremendous focus on ensuring cargo is transported safely. We work closely with AAR to thoroughly test our solutions and spent over a year testing, improving and developing our Container Solutions with AAR to achieve the best possible result. In 2016, Cordstrap Container Solutions were awarded AAR approval. With several GIS certificates in place, our customers can be sure that their products can be safely transported on American Railroads. This is important for Australian companies that export to the USA. Cargo arriving per sea transport in the USA often continues its journey to its final destination per rail. The AAR will not accept your shipping container if your cargo has not been secured with an AAR approved solution from an AAR approved Manufacturer (source: Must know info for Australian exporters to USA).
International Maritime Organization
IMO is the United Nations specialized agency with responsibility for the safety and security of shipping and the prevention of marine pollution by ships.
IMO jointly developed the CTU Code. The CTU Code contains comprehensive information and reference on all aspects of loading and securing of cargo in containers. The CTU Code can be used as a reference source for national regulations and a model for internationally unified legislation. The solutions we offer comply with the CTU Code and ensure the highest level of safety.
