About

Chemical Distribution Institute (CDI) is an independent, non profit making organisation created to provide risk assessment systems for bulk liquids shipping and storage of liquids in bulk in third party terminals for its participating chemical companies. Objectives of CDI are to develop, operate and control programmes to reduce the cost and burden of individual inspection regimes for ships and storage terminals through provision of a single set of accurate, reliable and consistent inspection data which chemical companies can use with total confidence for their risk measurement and management. Benefit of participation in CDI programmes for chemical companies is to enable them to establish efficient and cost effective systems for marine and terminal risk management without the need for marine or terminals expertise or creation of their own systems for audit and inspection. The programmes have proved to reduce risk of loss or public exposure resulting from incidents or accidents.
