International Maritime Bureau (IMB)

The International Maritime Bureau (IMB) is a specialized division of the International Chamber of Commerce that focuses on combating maritime crime, such as piracy and fraud. It collects and analyzes data on maritime incidents, provides information to shipping companies for safety, and helps coordinate responses to threats at sea. The IMB also runs the Piracy Reporting Centre, which assists vessels in distress and shares intelligence with authorities. By promoting maritime security and integrity, the IMB aims to protect international shipping and trade, ensuring safer navigation on the world’s oceans.
