The State Department today announced the 2-year renewal of the Shipping Coordinating Committee.
The Committee was established to provide a forum for interested members of government and the public to participate in discussions about shipping initiatives to be considered by the International Maritime Organization. The Committee solicits public views on a wide range of technical issues connected with international shipping safety, security, and environmental protection, with meetings generally convened prior to IMO and other international meetings as necessary to discuss and make recommendations to the Secretary of State and guide the U.S. delegations.
