As a resource, Cross Currents is managed by employees with more than 40 years’ experience in packaging and securement. Recently, because of collaborations with the market, a humbling and unique industry success was attained. Cross Currents was recognized by ICHCA (International Cargo Handling Coordination Association*) as a significant contributor to a safer environment for ships’ workers.
In the Spring of 2024 CC88 became a co-winner of the ICHCA International Safety Award. Entrants from around the world presented excellent product and methods to improve the work environment. As a co-entrant with G2 Ocean, our entry was recognized as offering the most beneficial safety product. One which has saved stevedores’ lives or prevented serious injury onboard ships. The product, Spyder Netting Generation II, was developed with the direction and to the specifications of G2 Ocean. The intuitive design and simplicity of deployment without special tools has made for easy adoption by crews. It is now a standard part of stowing reels or rolls.
Another project involving collaboration with major shipping lines resulted in developing the Monster Air Bag. CC88 offers a unique, extremely strong air bag design for securing cargo in ships’ holds. And, it is reusable and recyclable. Produced especially for the extreme forces experienced in ocean shipments, it is a replacement for the traditional rubber air bag. Having been used successfully for more than 10 years, this product, the Monster Bag, offers low acquisition costs, labor savings and other benefits.
