IMO: IMO Convention adopted 60 years ago

Today (6 March 2008) marks the 60th anniversary of the adoption of the international convention that established the International Maritime Organization (IMO).

The setting for this historic event was a conference held in Geneva, under the auspices of the United Nations. The IMO Convention subsequently entered into force in 1958, and the new Organization met for the first time the following year.
