Growing up near the Panama Canal, Arsenio Dominguez was always fascinated by mighty cargo ships sailing through on their way to distant shores.
Now @IMOHQ Secretary-General, his role is to defend seafarers and give shipping the recognition it deserves.

IMO has adopted the first-ever MASS Code — a global framework for Maritime Autonomous Surface Ships. A milestone that puts IMO at the forefront of regulating emerging technologies, enabling innovation while keeping safety, accountability and the human element central to shipping.

Fruitful discussions with @IMOSecGen Arsenio Dominguez. We focused on the maritime challenge in the Strait of Hormuz, the importance of adherence to International law, and respect for the sovereignty of territorial waters. There is an urgent need to advance a humanitarian initiative to free ships in the Gulf, in safety and in cooperation with the littoral states.
