SOLAS Reminder
You should now be aware that the amendments to the SOLAS (Safety of Life at Sea) Convention are imminent. Coming into force on 1 July 2016, the new law requires packed shipping containers to have a verified gross mass (VGM) before they are loaded on board for export. An industry coalition has created a Frequency Asked Questions (FAQs) document in response to questions that arose during the discussion of the SOLAS introduction. These amendments are imperative for enhancing safety in all aspects of the supply chain.

Festive Operating Hours
With the festive break a little over one week away, we'd like to let everyone know our operating hours during this time. The Western Australia Port Operations Task Force (WAPOTF) has also released their annual notification advising of the operating days of Fremantle Terminals, container depots and Quarantine.
Included in the same post is a timely reminder on detention amid the holidays.

Lolly Competition
Santa's little helpers have almost completed the deliveries of EES' Christmas goodies. This year we ordered a colossal 75kgs of lollies to satisfy the biggest of sweet tooths out there. We've had a one correct guess, along with some very close guesses for our competition, but it also appears that no-one has noticed the coveted EES custom sticker on the inside of their white lids. Look out for the stickers and guess our mystery lolly flavour now.

EES Newsmakers
Last week EES' was profiled in the Cockburn Gazette showcasing our recent success at the Lloyd's List Shipping & Maritime Industry night. It was an exciting experience having a photographer come out to take snaps of the directors and staff. It was very surreal and is something we will remember for a long time to come.
Thank you Cockburn Gazette!
