In 2018, IMO celebrates 70 years since the Convention establishing the Organization was adopted.
The World Maritime Day theme for the year is "IMO 70: Our Heritage – Better Shipping for a Better Future".
This provides an opportunity to take stock and look back, but also to look forward, addressing the current and future challenges for maritime transport to maintain a continued and strengthened contribution towards sustainable growth for all.
