Dear Mr. Kuningas,
We are pleased to take this opportunity to invite representatives of your ministry to
attend the upcoming meeting of the ILO/IMO/UNECE Group of Experts for finalisation of
modifications and restructuring to the CTU Code. The meeting will be held in person from
15 to 19 December 2025 at the Palais des Nations in Geneva, Switzerland.
The establishment of this Group was approved by the UNECE Inland Transport
Committee, the ILO Governing Body, and the IMO Maritime Safety Committee to review
and finalise, on behalf of their respective memberships, the draft proposal developed under
the auspices of UNECE Working Party on Intermodal Transport and Logistics for updating
and restructuring the ILO/IMO/UNECE Code of Practice for Packing of Cargo Transport
Units (CTU Code). This initiative marks the formal update of the CTU Code in over a decade
and aims to enhance its relevance and responsiveness to the evolving challenges of the
transport and logistics sector.
In addition to finalizing the proposed revisions, the Group is also expected to
recommend a future review and amendment process for each section of the CTU Code (Core
and Supplement) as well as any other special instructions pertaining to its chapters, annexes
and appendixes. This will help ensure the CTU Code could be easily updated to remain a
practical and reliable tool for the industry also in the future.
Your ministry’s participation in the meeting would be instrumental in advancing the
Group’s mandated tasks. We therefore kindly invite you to designate representatives to attend
and contribute to the expert group meeting.
Mr. Ahti Kuningas
Deputy Secretary General for Transport
Ministry of Economic Affairs and Communications
