About

The Irish Maritime Development Office (IMDO) is Ireland’s first national dedicated development, promotional and marketing agency for the shipping services sector. The Office is part of the Marine Institute which is a state Agency responsible for researching the potential of Ireland’s vast marine resources. Ireland has enjoyed impressive economic growth – consistently amongst the highest of the OECD countries. The World Bank forecasts significant growth in world shipping over the next decade. It seems logical, given Ireland’s many strategic advantages, that it should actively participate in this global expansion. Participation in the growth of the Irish international shipping service sector will compliment continued sustainable growth, which has been achieved in other sectors, i.e. International financial services, Information & communication technology, Software development, International services and Engineering.
