The role of shipping and ports as part of an integrated transport system was on the agenda at the Asia Europe Meeting (ASEM) Eurasia Expert Group Meeting on Transport and Logistics in Seoul, Republic of Korea (11-13 July).
During the session on facilitation, IMO’s Chris Trelawny outlined IMO’s long term strategy, which is focussed on helping Member States to create conditions for increased employment, prosperity and stability through promoting trade by sea, enhancing the port and maritime sector as wealth creators, and developing a sustainable blue economy, underpinned by good maritime security.
The meeting was hosted by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport and organized by the Korea Transport Institute.
