Action Group

In the context of shipping, an action group refers to a team or committee that is formed to address a specific issue or challenge related to shipping operations. 

Action groups are often composed of representatives from various stakeholders in the shipping industry, such as shipping companies, carriers, ports, and government agencies. The group works together to identify problems, develop strategies, and implement solutions to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of shipping operations. 

Examples of issues that may require the formation of an action group include the development of new shipping regulations, the implementation of new technologies, the improvement of supply chain security, and the response to natural disasters or other emergencies that affect shipping operations.
