MTCC-Pacific successfully concluded its Second Regional Workshop in Apia, Samoa, on 16 and 17 September, with representatives from 19 countries totalling 220 participants of which 26% were women.
The objective of the pilot project is to support selected developing countries in limiting and reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from their shipping sector through technical assistance/capacity-building to promote low-carbon and energy efficient shipping technologies and operations. The Shanghai Maritime University (SMU) was selected as the host institution of MTCC for Asia (MTCC-Asia) in December 2016.
IMO and the Government of Norway are cordially inviting interested countries to embark on the GreenVoyage2050, a new technical cooperation initiative to tackle the challenge of delivering a sustainable future for the shipping industry.
The closing date for this call for expressions of interest is Monday 14 October 2019.
