IMO Conventions

IMO Conventions are internationally agreed-upon rules established by the International Maritime Organization to promote safe, secure, and environmentally responsible shipping. They set standards for ship design, construction, operation, and crew training, ensuring consistency across nations. These agreements help prevent accidents at sea, protect marine life, and facilitate global trade by creating a common legal framework that ships and countries follow. Essentially, IMO Conventions are the global consensus on best practices for the maritime industry, fostering safer and more sustainable shipping worldwide.
