Industrial Rope Access Trade Association Joins International Maritime Club
The Industrial Rope Access Trade Association (IRATA), a leading player in the field of complex, challenging, and dangerous work-at-height tasks, has announced its entry into the International Maritime Club (IMC). The association's CEO, Dr. Sheila Kondaveeti, recently completed the registration formalities.

Over the decades, IRATA has developed into a global standard for all industries requiring work-at-height solutions, not just the oil and gas sector. The association's core purpose is to promote and maintain high levels of safety, professionalism, and efficiency among businesses and individuals who specialize in rope access.
Joining the International Maritime Club, a platform uniting maritime professionals worldwide, marks a significant step for IRATA. It reflects the association's commitment to fostering international collaborations, pursuing excellence in safety standards, a
nd contributing to the broader maritime community's growth and development.
