The International Maritime Organization today moved back into its Albert Embankment headquarters in London after nearly two years in temporary accommodation while the building underwent major refurbishment.
IMO Secretary-General Efthimios E. Mitropoulos said of the return: Operating away from our purpose-built headquarters building for 20 months has been a massive challenge, both for the IMO delegates and the secretariat, but I am delighted to say it has been one to which all have risen with commendable fortitude, patience and, not least, a sense of humor. I am certain that, given the heightened level of amenity in our refurbished headquarters, everyone will agree that our period 'away from home' has been very worthwhile. IMO's address henceforth reverts to: 4 Albert Embankment, London, SE1 7SR, United Kingdom. All current telephone and fax numbers and e-mail addresses remain unchanged and post sent to the temporary address will be redirected.
