Mongolian officials told the opening of the 34th session of the International Maritime Organization (IMO) Assembly in London that more than 200 ships owned by companies in 25 countries now sail under the Mongolian flag. 
Ambassador B.Enkhsukh led Mongolia’s delegation to the Assembly, which opened November 24 and runs through December 3, and the delegation includes M.Ulzii, Director of Maritime Administration under the Ministry of Road and Transport.  
The IMO is the UN’s specialized agency responsible for maritime safety and preventing ship-sourced pollution; the Assembly, held every two years, approves the organization’s work programm, budget and elects Council members.
Mongolia joined the IMO in 1996 and has since acceded to dozens of maritime treaties, and it operates an open ship registry that enables ships owned or managed in other countries to register under the Mongolian flag.
