For the 13th consecutive term, Malta has been
re-elected to the Council of the International Maritime
Organisation, during its Assembly held earlier this Month.
This result is of course very prestigious for Malta and confirms
that the country has one of the largest registers of merchant ships
in the world and that it enjoys the respect of the international
community in this sector.
The IMO Council is the executive body tasked with overseeing the
entire operation of the organization. 40 members of the Council
were elected from among the 176 member states of the organization.
These elections will ensure that the Council is made up of members
with the highest maritime interests, as well as ensuring that all
regions of the world are represented on this Council.
