In news- IMO’s World Maritime Day was celebrated on 30th September themed “Seafarers: at the core of shipping’s future“.

About International Maritime Organisation (IMO) –

    • An international conference in Geneva in 1948 adopted a convention formally establishing the IMO, a specialized UN agency that develops and maintains a comprehensive regulatory framework for shipping.
    • The IMO’s original name was the Inter-Governmental Maritime Consultative Organization (IMCO) but the name was changed in 1982 to IMO. 
    • It focuses on areas such as safety, environmental concerns, legal matters, technical co-operation, maritime security and the efficiency of shipping.
    • It is headquartered in London, United Kingdom. 
    • It has 174 member states and three associate members.
  • India joined IMO in 1959.
  • Its parent organization is the United Nations Economic and Social Council (UN ECOSOC).
  • The work of IMO is conducted through five committees and these are supported by technical subcommittees. 
  • In January 1959, IMO began to maintain and promote the 1954 International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution of the Sea by Oil (OILPOL) Convention. 
  • World Maritime Day was first held on March 17, 1978 to mark the date of the IMO Convention’s entry into force in 1958.
