The International Maritime Organization (IMO) chief is set to visit Pakistan to deepen bilateral cooperation on maritime reforms, ship recycling, and environmental protection.
The planned trip underscores a broader push to strengthen global shipping standards and blue economy initiatives amid ongoing geopolitical pressures on key trade routes.
The visit comes as the IMO works to coordinate with regional partners to ensure safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz.
Oman has recently coordinated with the organization to establish a temporary maritime corridor for vessels transiting the chokepoint, aiming to mitigate risks from regional instability.
This initiative is part of a wider effort to normalize shipping operations after disruptions linked to US-Iran tensions.
Shipping traffic through the Strait of Hormuz is showing signs of recovery, with tracking data indicating that vessel movements have improved compared to levels seen before the recent diplomatic agreements.
