ISA panel recommends five-year NORI contract extension

The TMC subsidiary cleared the technical review; Council approval is still pending.

BRIEF PREVIEW

FACT — The International Seabed Authority said its Legal and Technical Commission recommended Council approval of NORI’s application after finding the applicable criteria and procedures satisfied.

The recommendation is favorable, but it is not final approval.
