The IMO said it had taken the decision to postpone some meetings due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak based on: “Taking into account the rapid increase of cases worldwide and the continuing difficulties for some delegates from IMO Member States travelling from abroad to attend IMO meetings”.
The 75th session of the MEPC from 30 March – 3 April makes decisions on the IMO’s important plans related on emissions and greenhouse gas reductions. The rescheduled date for the meeting is to be confirmed.
