IMO touring exhibition – coming to a museum near you?

IMO touring exhibition – coming to a museum near you?: IMO touring exhibition small

For the first time, an IMO touring exhibition is bringing  success stories and the future challenges for maritime transport to a global audience.

Seventy years of IMO efforts to promote safe, secure and clean shipping are being celebrated under the theme "IMO 70: Our Heritage – Better Shipping for a Better Future". And now, for the first time, an IMO touring exhibition is bringing our success stories and the future challenges for maritime transport to a global audience.

Who makes the rules for global merchant shipping? How are people at sea kept safe, and how is the environment protected? How does shipping support sustainable development, and what does the future hold?

These questions, and many more, are explored by the exhibit – giving a fascinating insight into IMO's work and showing how shipping is vital to the world.

The exhibition is on its way to maritime museums across six continents. Is it coming to a place near you? Watch the teaser video and view the map of destinations, here.

And if you see it, share the experience and send photos via social media, just tag @IMOHQ and/or use the hashtag #IMOandMe
