The International Maritime Organization (IMO) will convene an “extraordinary session” next week to discuss threats to shipping in the Middle East and particularly in the Strait of Hormuz, the agency said Thursday.

The meeting, scheduled for March 18-19 at the IMO headquarters in London, was requested by several council members.

The IMO’s Secretary-General Arsenio Dominguez has held briefings with industry groups and member states to discuss developments in the US-Israel war in Iran over the past two days, the statement added.
