It is an honour to express my sincere gratitude to IMLI and the IMO for selecting me as a deserving candidate to pursue studies in the Institute’s Master of Laws (LL.M.) programme in International Maritime Law. Training at IMLI not only has been proven an asset for my academic and professional development, but it also has provided me with an enriching personal experience. During my studies at IMLI, I also had the honor to receive academic mentions and awards, such as the CMI Prize for Best Overall Performance and the Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport (Malta) Prize for Best Performance in Maritime Transport Law. Furthermore, my research interests lie in the area of the law of the sea, such that I wrote for my dissertation on “Argentina’s Claim to an Outer Continental Shelf –An Analysis of its Entitlement and the Relevant Legal Regime.” Therefore, upon invitation from the CMI, I participated in the CMI Assembly and CMI/AIDIM Seminar (Genoa) as a panelist to present my academic achievements. Upon my graduation from IMLI, the Argentine Coast Guard appointed me as legal adviser in maritime affairs at the Navigation Regulations Department, where I currently work on high profile initiatives concerning the implementation of IMO Conventions in domestic legislation, as well as the provision of legal advice for the review and update of national maritime legislation. It is worth mentioning that none of these achievements would have been possible without the support from the IMO and the Argentine Coast Guard. I will forever be grateful for the opportunities the fellowship provided my career, as well as the development of maritime law in my country.
