Report of 29th IMO Assembly
The Assembly of the International Maritime Organization (IMO) meeting for its 29th session at IMO Headquarters in London, has called on its Member States to accept a 2012 international fishing vessel safety agreement, in order to bring it into force and address the heavy casualty rate in the sector. The Assembly also adopted a resolution commending the role of merchant shipping in rescuing mixed migrants at sea. It adopted the budget and Strategic Plan for 2016-2017, endorsed the appointment of Mr. Kitack Lim as Secretary-General from 1 January 2016 and elected the 40‑Member Council.

MEPC 68 was held on the 11th-15th May 2015. This Committee attracts considerable interest, particularly from environmental NGO’s. Regrettably, the debate centres upon the political objectives of flag states and the financial imperatives of shipping rather than upon the impact of the environment and the safety of seafarers.
