IMO Council Backs Dominguez for Second Term, Awaiting Assembly Approval
Current overview (not historical)
The IMO Council has endorsed Secretary-General Arsenio Dominguez for a second four-year term from January 1, 2028 to December 31, 2031, though the appointment still requires formal approval by the IMO Assembly at the end of 2027. The endorsement comes as the organization faces separate pressures: member states previously failed to adopt a net-zero framework, and the Strait of Hormuz and wider Middle East have recorded 129 maritime incidents and 24 sailor deaths since the Iran war began in February, leaving shipping safety and climate regulation under strain.
