Mr. Arsenio Dominguez, who took up office as the 10th elected Secretary-General of IMO on 1 January, named the Senior Management Committee members on 8 January:
• Director of Administrative Division – Azara Prempeh

• Director of Legal Affairs and External Relations Division – Dorota Lost-Sieminska
• Director of Marine Environment Division – Heike Deggim
• Director of Technical Cooperation Division – Jose Matheickal

“With me as the 10th Secretary General, I welcome you to join us in an era of progression of the Organization, one that leads by example and with higher values from inclusion, diversity, and transparency. I look forward to working with you for the years to come into a new and exciting era to make this maritime sector a much better one,” Mr. Dominguez said.
