or forward it direct to ICS head office in London.

| The following is an extract from the ICS Byelaws
outlining the conditions necessary to become a Member. Although the Byelaws
state 'shipbrokers', ICS membership is much wider and applies to any member of
commercial shipping with a connection to shipbroking. We have lawyers,
insurers, brokers, agents, managers, liner and port agents amongst our
membership.
