The Republic of Liberia has once again demonstrated its leadership at the International Maritime Organization (IMO) by fully settling its 2025 contributions amounting to \u00a35.5 million (US$7.1 million). This payment represents Liberia\u2019s assessed share of the IMO\u2019s \u00a337.5 million budget for 2025, as approved by the Organization\u2019s 33rd Assembly session in December 2023 through Resolution A.1179(33).<\/p>\n

Liberia\u2019s prompt settlement of its financial obligations reaffirms the country\u2019s unwavering commitment to the mission and work of the IMO, particularly in ensuring that international shipping is safe, secure, and environmentally responsible.<\/p>\n

With this full payment, Liberia retains its full voting rights at all IMO meetings and is not subject to Article 61 of the IMO Convention, which restricts voting rights for members with outstanding contributions. This action further strengthens Liberia\u2019s campaign for re-election to Category A of the IMO Council during the upcoming 34th Assembly session later this year.<\/p>\n

Given Liberia\u2019s significant contribution\u2014approximately 15% of the IMO\u2019s total annual budget\u2014the country’s bid for a seat on the IMO Council remains strong. This also enhances Liberia\u2019s international reputation as a responsible and reliable member of the global community, especially as the country advocates for a non-permanent seat on the United Nations Security Council. Liberia’s active role in the IMO underscores its importance to global trade, considering that 80% of international commerce is conducted via the sea.<\/p>\n

The Commissioner\/CEO of the Liberia Maritime Authority, Cllr. Neto Zarzar Lighe, Sr., reaffirms Liberia\u2019s continued dedication to the IMO, including the timely payment of dues and other contributions that support the Organization\u2019s forward drive. He emphasized Liberia\u2019s determination to help ensure that global shipping continues to progress to greater heights.<\/p>\n

It is worth recalling that Liberia also fulfilled its 2024 IMO dues in a timely manner, further demonstrating consistency and commitment to its international\u00a0obligations.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
