International Maritime Organisation
Group From 1959
Part of the UN, the IMO has its HQ in London (we do like our initials).
Always based in London, it began as the Inter-Governmental Maritime Consultative Organisation in Chancery Lane, moved to 22 Berners Street, then 101 Piccadilly. In 1983 it moved into purpose-built offices and gained a snappier name.
