The recently appointed IMO Secretary-General, Arsenio Dominguez, has shared a video conveying his message to the industry for the year 2024.
He highlights that, it’s this time of the year when they look back in reflection and excitement of the things that they have done, the things that they could have done, and the things that they are yet to do.
Here at IMO, we have a great trajectory of successes. But of course, we can always do more. I don’t need to tell you how vital the shipping industry is for the world. And IMO has done much to support its member states, seafarers, the industry and everyone who lives on the planet.
..he said.
For example, during the COVID pandemic, we supported hundreds of individual cases of seafarers, we have greatly reduced accidents on ships in comparison to the 1990s.
..added.
Furthermore, Arsenio Dominguez said that “With a global sulfur cap introduction in 2020, we greatly increase air quality, and now we have a trajectory for the decarbonization of the industry. With me as the 10th Secretary General, I welcome you to join us in an era of progression of the organization, one that leads by example and with higher values from inclusion, diversity, and transparency. I look forward to working with you for the years to come into a new and exciting era to make this maritime sector a much better one”.
