International Maritime Organisation

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.
