International Maritime Organisation

GB

The International Maritime Organization (IMO) is a specialized agency of the United Nations responsible for regulating maritime transport. While its primary focus is on maritime safety, security, and pollution prevention in international shipping, the IMO also plays a role in space-related activities. The IMO provides a framework for cooperation among governments on regulations and practices related to technical matters affecting international shipping, including maritime satellite organizations. The IMO works towards the sustainable development of shipping and maritime activities, supporting the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
