North/South co‐operation in shipping: new approaches
The shipping aspirations of developing countries, together with their concept of shipping as a public matter rather than the traditional private enterprise, gave rise to increasing North/South confrontation following the 1939–45 war. This was compounded by the involvement of Inter‐Governmental Organisations (IGOs), notably the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), and associated attempts to regulate commercial practices by international legal instruments.
In 1981, 200 maritime industry leaders from 34 developed and developing countries, meeting in Caracas, Venezuela, under the aegis of the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC), agreed to initiate a new approach to international shipping based upon commercial co‐operation rather than political confrontation ('Caracas Declaration'). ICC set up an Action Programme to develop this initiative. Field studies were done in 24 countries to assess joint venture prospects and to demonstrate the potential for mutually profitable co‐operation. The message was propagated and constructive liaison established with a range of IGOs, particularly UNCTAD.
More tangibly, in response to an evident need, the Centre for Maritime Co‐operation (CMC) was set up in 1985 as a self‐supporting specialized division of ICC, to facilitate international business co‐operation in all maritime activities except shipbuilding.
In the years since Caracas, the economic problems surrounding international shipping have grown worse. Even so, the Caracas philosophy has demonstrable appeal. But a new message alone is not enough; now CMC provides concrete evidence of a private sector service available to all who seek advice and assistance.
