SGS Pakistan experts from Natural Resources Division participated in the seminar on 4 October 2023 held in Karachi, organized by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) for the World Maritime Day.
This event is celebrated every year with different themes proposed by IMO. For 2023, the selected theme “MARPOL at 50: Our Commitment Goes On” reflects the ongoing dedication to the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships (MARPOL) as it reaches to its 50th anniversary.
