The IGF code was adopted at the 95th session of the IMO Maritime Safety Committee (MSC 95). MSC 95 was held in London from 3 to 12 June 2015 under the chairmanship of

Earlier last week, I took a train from London’s Paddington Station to visit Plymouth University. The purpose of my visit was to discuss how we could promote maritime subjects in higher education and explore the possibility of cooperation between Plymouth University and the World Maritime University in Malmö, Sweden – such as the provision of teaching staff from Plymouth University or sending post-graduate students from Plymouth to WMU to learn more about maritime governance at IMO.

After a short introduction to the University over lunch with industry representatives and the University management team, lead by Interim Vice Chancellor Professor David Coslett, I was taken by Professor Jingjing Xu of the Business Faculty on a tour of the
