IMO: Successful Antarctic rescue draws praise and highlights IMO's work

IMO Secretary-General Efthimios E. Mitropoulos, commenting on the sinking, last Friday (23 November), of the cruise ship Explorer off the coast of Antarctica, said that the successful rescue of all passengers and crew on board the ship served to highlight the work of the Organization in regulating several key aspects of maritime safety relevant to the accident. More than 150 people were rescued from the Explorer after she hit an iceberg and eventually sank in waters off Antarctica.
