As a specialized agency of the United Nations, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) is the global standard-setting authority for the safety, security and environmental performance of international shipping. Its main role is to create a regulatory framework for the shipping industry that is fair and effective, universally adopted and universally implemented.
IMO measures cover all aspects of international shipping - including ship design, construction, equipment, manning, operation and disposal - to ensure that this vital sector remains safe, environmentally sound, energy efficient and secure.
Energy efficiency, new technology and innovation, maritime education and training, maritime security, maritime traffic management and the development of the maritime infrastructure are all issues underpinning IMO's commitment to provide the institutional framework necessary for a safe, green and sustainable global maritime transportation system.

Health concerns have also been raised by the WHO about the potential spread of epidemic disease bacteria through ballast water. These guidelines are not a certain solution to the problem, but a tool to help minimize the risk from ballast water discharge.
The introduction of harmful aquatic organisms to new environments by ships has been identified as a major threat to world oceans and to the conservation of biodiversity. Biofouling, described as the undesirable accumulation of microorganisms, plants, algae and animals on submerged structures, is considered one of the main vectors for bio invasion.
Covers MARPOL Annex VI and the regulations for the prevention of air pollution from ships and the mandatory NOx Technical Code 2008 for marine diesel engines.
International Convention on the Control of Harmful Anti-Fouling Systems on Ships, 2001 recognizes the harmful effects of anti-fouling systems and the need for universal measures to restrict use of organotin compounds which act as biocides in anti-fouling systems.
Addresses the issues around ship recycling, including the fact that ships sold for scrapping may contain environmentally hazardous substances such as asbestos, heavy metals, hydrocarbons, ozone-depleting substances and others.
