Explanations on the implementation of the service

We offer interested parties the opportunity to find out about the work of the German Shipowners’ Association on our website www.reederverband.de. In addition to industry information, facts and figures, downloads and other topics, we also offer the opportunity to take out a trial or annual subscription to Deutsche Seeschifffahrt.

Status of compatibility with the requirements

We are committed to digital accessibility and aim to design our website to make it fully accessible to all users. We are therefore continuously working to fully implement the requirements of the Barrier-Free Accessibility Reinforcement Act (BFSG) and the Ordinance on the Barrier-Free Accessibility Reinforcement Act (BFSGV).

Our website implements the requirements of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG):

Perceptible:

  • We ensure sufficient colour contrasts for better legibility.
  • We provide the option to adjust the displayed font size using browser and system functions.
  • Where possible, we offer alternatives to non-text-based content.

Operable:

  • Website content and functions for which we are not dependent on external providers are accessible by keyboard so they can be navigated without restriction by users without a mouse.
  • We offer touch support (operation via fingers and finger gestures) on suitable devices.
  • We give users enough time to read all content.
  • We avoid unnecessary animations and flashing elements that can trigger seizures in some people.

Understandable:

  • We structure our content in a comprehensible way, and website operation is consistent with common practice.

Robust:

  • Wherever possible, we use code compliant with established standards to support screen readers and read-aloud functions provided by browsers/systems or third parties.
