A campaign to address the global shortage of seafarers, especially officers, which threatens the very future of the international shipping industry, has been launched by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) in association with the International Labour Organization, the "Round Table" of shipping organizations - BIMCO, ICS/ISF, INTERCARGO and INTERTANKO1 - and the International Transport Workers´ Federation.


The campaign calls on governments, industry and IMO, supported by ILO and other international organizations, to take specific actions, within their areas of influence, to increase the recruitment of seafarers to tackle the problem.

El próximo día 13 de octubre (2004), se ha previsto celebrar en Gijón (Principado de Asturias) los actos conmemorativos del 25 aniversario de la Escuela Superior de la Marina Civil de Gijón.
