New Delhi, Feb 17 (IANS) The Secretary General of the International Maritime Organization (IMO), Arsenio Dominguez, will be visiting Mumbai from February 19 to 21.

Ahead of the visit, Dominguez highlighted India’s significant global role in supplying a large share of the two million seafarers who enable international trade, as well as championing innovations in ship recycling and sustainable ports.
He said: “India is a major maritime nation with a rich seafaring heritage. I look forward to engaging with India’s maritime leaders and community on how we can work together to upskill and strengthen the global maritime workforce, unlock green growth and jobs, and make shipping more sustainable for all.”
Dominguez will attend the 2025 Green Shipping Conclave at the Maritime Training Institute in Powai, Mumbai, which will bring together industry leaders, policymakers, and technologists to discuss advancements in alternative fuels, green ship technologies, sustainable port operations, and financial mechanisms.
He will address seafarers at local maritime institutions, visit the Jawaharlal Nehru Port Authority (JNPA), and participate in policy dialogues with a wide range of stakeholders.
The Green Shipping Conclave 2025 marks a significant milestone in India’s commitment to sustainable maritime transport.
The key focus areas are: Advancing green hydrogen for maritime applications, policy and regulatory frameworks shaping the future of green shipping, technology innovations and fuel options for sustainable marine fuels and green shipping corridors and global partnerships.
With the Indo-German Energy Forum (IGEF) as a key supporter, this initiative fosters bilateral cooperation in energy transition, reinforcing India’s role in clean energy leadership.
