A Message from Shri Anirudha Chaki, Deputy Chief Surveyor-cum-Senior Deputy Director General, offering insights into the International Cooperation Branch of the Directorate General of Shipping. This message highlights the pivotal role of the International Cooperation Branch in strengthening India's maritime connect with global organizations and administrations. From formulating MoUs with partner countries to coordinating with the International Maritime Organization (IMO), the branch ensures India's active participation on the international stage. It drives the preparation of documents, defines India's position at IMO Committees and Sub-Committees, and facilitates the nomination of experts for global maritime initiatives and training programs. Through these efforts, the branch advances India's maritime interests and reinforces our commitment to collaboration, capacity building, and international leadership in shipping.
