What changed
The State Department issued a notice announcing a schedule change for the Shipping Coordinating Committee public meeting originally scheduled for March 11, 2026, which was convened to prepare for the IMO MEPC 84th session.

- Monitor for future DOS notices regarding MEPC 84 substantive agenda items
