Alternative Permanent Representative of Liberia, and Vice Chair, Marine Environment Protection Committee, International Maritime Organisation, London, UK
The visit onboard Finland's icebreaker ship, URHO, is an unforgettable experience.
These vessels are vital to keeping open the important shipping lane through the Baltic Sea.
Thanks to the Ministry of Transport and Communications @AnitaMakinen @eerohokkanen @Kivimakim
@eerohokkanen @PaiviAntikainen@AnitaMakinen@JarkkoToivola@ArctiaLtd@vaylafi@Kivimakim Amazing experience on an icebreaker. It was good to appreciate firsthand the conditions vessels faced in icy conditions and the tremendous work the icebreakers undertake to ensure safe navigation.
Thanks to the team. The visit was well worth it.
@LibEmbassyUK@IMOHQ A giant step to protect the marine environment from shipping activities. This comes after 14 years of waiting. Liberia is indeed a major player in international shipping.
