South Korean Lim Ki-tack has won a unanimous vote from the 40 IMO member states on the ruling council to continue his second four-year term as IMO secretary-general.
Lim, who assumed the post of IMO secretary-general starting 2016, will see his current four-year tenure end in 2019. But he will now remain on as IMO chief until 2023 with a new term starting 2020.
Lim was formerly president of Busan Port Authority prior to his IMO post.
His career portfolio included government-related experiences as commissioner of Korean Maritime Safety Tribunal and director-general of Maritime Safety Policy Bureau, as well as IMO-related international experiences as chairman-elect of PSC Committee in Tokyo, president of IMO’s Maritime Attache Club in London, and chairman of IMO’s Flag State Implementation Sub-Committee.
