Denmark in good position to promote key issues according to DMA
Denmark has been elected for another two years on the Council of the International Maritime Organization (IMO). According to Danish Maritime Authority press release thus, Denmark maintains its position as a player in the top decision-making body of the IMO.
Danish Maritime Authority says that with the re-election, the member States gave Denmark a mandate to continue the efforts made in the Council to promote quality shipping internationally as well as to ensure that the IMO remains a modern and relevant organization that is operated in a still more efficient and streamlined manner.
Director-General of the Danish Maritime Authority Andreas Nordseth is pleased about the result. Denmark contributes greatly to the work of the IMO and the re-election is a recognition of this. It is of great importance to Denmark as a maritime nation that we have retained our seat on the Council:
“By virtue of the re-election, Denmark will still be in a good position to promote key issues such as the fight against piracy and reductions of the administration burdens imposed on the industry. In addition, we on the Danish part can help set the priorities for the IMO’s work in coming years and support the on-going development of the Organization as the body regulating international shipping.”
