Renowned British sculptor Michael Sandle has begun work on creating a memorial to the world's seafarers to be erected at IMO's riverside headquarters on the Albert Embankment in London, after his proposed design was chosen from a shortlist of three. Sandle's sculpture, based on the bow of a cargo ship, will be a reminder of the pivotal role seafaring plays in world trade and development and will also serve as a memorial to all seafarers who have been lost at sea. The unveiling of the completed work is scheduled for World Maritime Day 2001.
