Sir Colin Goad (1914–1998) was a British civil servant who served as Secretary-General of the International Maritime Organization, then known as the Inter-Governmental Maritime Consultative Organization (IMCO).[1][2][3] He served as Secretary-General from 1968 to 1973.[4][5]

Life and career

Goad was born on 31 December 1914 in Cirencester, Gloucestershire.[4] He was educated at Cirencester Grammar School and then studied history at Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge University.[4]

In 1937 Goad joined the British Civil Service, working at the Department for Transport.[4] He was promoted to Under-Secretary in 1963.[4] In January 1959 he attended the First Assembly of the IMCO.[4] Goad worked on the organization's maritime safety committee before being Deputy Secretary General and serving in this role between 1963 and 1968.[3]

Goad was appointed Secretary-General of the organization on 1 January 1968.[4][3] In 1967 Goad remarked that the Torrey Canyon oil spill had a significant influence on the development of IMCO as the organization developed environmental rules (later to be the MARPOL Convention}.[6] In 1969, Goad gave a speech at the International Legal Conference on Marine Pollutan damage which outlined IMCO's technical mandate and legal purview to improve maritime safety and protect the marine environment.[7][8]

Goad served as Secretary-General until 31 December 1973[4] and then worked for the ship registries of Liberia and the Marshall Islands.[4]

He died in Cirencester on 15 March 1998.[4]
