Event

This high-level event unites a global coalition to expand ship-based observations. Backed by leading international organisations, France and marine industry pioneers, the organisers which include the International Maritime Organization (IMO), the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) and the International Hydrographic Organization (IHO) are gathering the shipping industries to join an ambitious new partnership. Together, we will equip fleets with cutting-edge, standardised and automated metocean technologies, unlocking global benefits for operations, forecasting, early warnings and environmental stewardship. 

BIMCO will provide an industry view during the session and is pleased to co-sponsor this event.
