Since 1978, every last Thursday of September has been celebrated as World Maritime Day, commemorating the establishment of the International Maritime Organisation in 1958.<a href="#cite_note-6">[6]</a> When IMCO began its operations in 1959 certain other pre-existing conventions were brought under its aegis, most notable the <a href="/wiki/International_Convention_for_the_Prevention_of_Pollution_of_the_Sea_by_Oil" title="International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution of the Sea by Oil">International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution of the Sea by Oil</a> (OILPOL) 1954. In January 1959, IMO began to maintain and promote the 1954 OILPOL Convention. Under the guidance of IMO, the convention was amended in 1962, 1969, and 1971. The first meetings of the newly formed IMCO were held in London in 1959.<a href="#cite_note-IMOHistoryInPics-7">[7]</a> As oil trade and industry developed, many people in the industry began to recognise a need for further improvements in regards to oil pollution prevention at sea. This became increasingly apparent in 1967, when the tanker <a href="/wiki/SS_Torrey_Canyon" title="SS Torrey Canyon">Torrey Canyon</a> spilled 120,000 tons of crude oil when it ran aground entering the English Channel<a href="#cite_note-:0-8">[8]</a> The Torrey Canyon grounding was the largest oil pollution incident recorded up to that time.

In 1969, the IMO Assembly decided to host an international gathering in 1973 dedicated to this issue.<a href="#cite_note-:0-8">[8]</a> The goal at hand was to develop an international agreement for controlling general environmental contamination by ships when out at sea. During the next few years IMO brought to the forefront a series of measures designed to prevent large ship accidents and to minimise their effects. It also detailed how to deal with the environmental threat caused by routine ship duties such as the cleaning of oil cargo tanks or the disposal of engine room wastes. By tonnage, the aforementioned was a bigger problem than accidental pollution.<a href="#cite_note-:0-8">[8]</a> The most significant development to come out of this conference was the <a href="/wiki/MARPOL_73/78" title="MARPOL 73/78">International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships, 1973</a> (MARPOL). It covers not only accidental and operational oil pollution but also different types of pollution by chemicals, goods in packaged form, sewage, garbage and air pollution.<a href="#cite_note-:1-4">[4]</a> The original MARPOL was signed on 17 February 1973, but did not come into force due to lack of ratifications. The current convention is a combination of 1973 Convention and the 1978 Protocol. It entered into force on 2 October 1983. As of January 2018, 156 states, representing 99.42 per cent of the world's shipping tonnage, are signatories to the MARPOL convention.<a href="#cite_note-IMO_Status_2019-9">[9]</a>[<a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Dates_and_numbers#Chronological_items" title="Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Dates and numbers">needs update</a>] As well as updates to MARPOL and SOLAS, the IMO facilitated several updated international maritime conventions in the mid to late 20th century, including the <a href="/wiki/International_Convention_on_Load_Lines" title="International Convention on Load Lines">International Convention on Load Lines</a> in 1966 (replacing an earlier 1930 Convention), the <a href="/wiki/International_Regulations_for_Preventing_Collisions_at_Sea" title="International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea">International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea</a> in 1972 (also replacing an earlier set of rules) and the <a href="/wiki/STCW_Convention" title="STCW Convention">STCW Convention</a> in 1978.<a href="#cite_note-IntroductionUKS-2">[2]</a> In 1975, the assembly of the IMO decided that future conventions of the <a href="/wiki/SOLAS_Convention" title="SOLAS Convention">International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea</a> (SOLAS) and other IMO instruments should use SI units only.<a href="#cite_note-10">[10]</a> As such, sea transportation is one of few industrial areas that still commonly uses non-<a href="/wiki/International_System_of_Units" title="International System of Units">metric units</a> such as the <a href="/wiki/Nautical_mile" title="Nautical mile">nautical mile</a> (nmi) for distance and <a href="/wiki/Knot_(unit)" title="Knot (unit)">knots</a> (kn) for speed or velocity.<a href="#cite_note-11">[11]</a> In 1982, IMCO was renamed as the International Maritime Organization (IMO). Throughout its existence, the IMO has continued to produce new and updated conventions across a wide range of maritime issues covering not only safety of life and marine pollution but also encompassing safe navigation, search and rescue, wreck removal, tonnage measurement, liability and compensation, ship recycling, the training and certification of seafarers, and piracy. More recently SOLAS has been amended to bring an increased focus on maritime security through the <a href="/wiki/International_Ship_and_Port_Facility_Security_Code" title="International Ship and Port Facility Security Code">International Ship and Port Facility Security (ISPS) Code</a>. The IMO has also increased its focus on smoke emissions from ships. In 1983, the IMO established the <a href="/wiki/World_Maritime_University" title="World Maritime University">World Maritime University</a> in Malmö, Sweden and also facilitated the adoption of the <a href="/wiki/International_Code_of_the_Construction_and_Equipment_of_Ships_Carrying_Liquefied_Gases_in_Bulk" title="International Code of the Construction and Equipment of Ships Carrying Liquefied Gases in Bulk">IGC Code</a>.<a href="#cite_note-IntroductionUKS-2">[2]</a> In 1991, the IMO facilitated the adoption of the <a href="/wiki/International_Code_for_the_Safe_Carriage_of_Grain_in_Bulk" title="International Code for the Safe Carriage of Grain in Bulk">International Grain Code</a>.<a href="#cite_note-IntroductionUKS-2">[2]</a> In December 2002, new amendments to the 1974 SOLAS Convention were enacted by the IMO. These amendments gave rise to the <a href="/wiki/International_Ship_and_Port_Facility_Security_Code" title="International Ship and Port Facility Security Code">International Ship and Port Facility Security (ISPS) Code</a>, which went into effect on 1 July 2004. The concept of the code is to provide layered and redundant defences against smuggling, terrorism, piracy, stowaways, etc. The ISPS Code required most ships and port facilities engaged in international trade to establish and maintain strict security procedures as specified in ship and port specific Ship Security Plans and Port Facility Security Plans. <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Headquarters">Headquarters</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=International_Maritime_Organization&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Headquarters">edit</a>]</div> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:International_Maritime_Organization_Plaques.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/98/International_Maritime_Organization_Plaques.jpg/220px-International_Maritime_Organization_Plaques.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="99" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/98/International_Maritime_Organization_Plaques.jpg/330px-International_Maritime_Organization_Plaques.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/98/International_Maritime_Organization_Plaques.jpg/440px-International_Maritime_Organization_Plaques.jpg 2x" data-file-width="4032" data-file-height="1816" /></a><figcaption>Opening and anniversary plaques of <a href="/wiki/Elizabeth_II" title="Elizabeth II">Queen Elizabeth II</a> and model of <a href="/wiki/Queen_Mary_2" title="Queen Mary 2">Queen Mary 2</a> in the lobby of the IMO Headquarters building</figcaption></figure> The IMO headquarters are located in a large purpose-built building facing the <a href="/wiki/River_Thames" title="River Thames">River Thames</a> on the <a href="/wiki/Albert_Embankment" title="Albert Embankment">Albert Embankment</a>, in <a href="/wiki/Lambeth" title="Lambeth">Lambeth</a>, London.<a href="#cite_note-HistoryofIMO-12">[12]</a> The organisation moved into its new headquarters in late 1982, with the building being officially opened by <a href="/wiki/Elizabeth_II" title="Elizabeth II">Queen Elizabeth II</a> on 17 May 1983.<a href="#cite_note-HistoryofIMO-12">[12]</a> The architects of the building were Douglass Marriott, Worby & Robinson.<a href="#cite_note-MancHistory-13">[13]</a> The front of the building is dominated by a seven-metre high, ten-tonne bronze sculpture of the bow of a ship, with a lone seafarer maintaining a look-out.<a href="#cite_note-MancHistory-13">[13]</a> The previous headquarters of IMO were at 101 <a href="/wiki/Piccadilly" title="Piccadilly">Piccadilly</a> (now the home of the <a href="/wiki/Embassy_of_Japan,_London" title="Embassy of Japan, London">Embassy of Japan</a>), prior to that at 22 <a href="/wiki/Berners_Street" title="Berners Street">Berners Street</a> in <a href="/wiki/Fitzrovia" title="Fitzrovia">Fitzrovia</a> and originally in <a href="/wiki/Chancery_Lane" title="Chancery Lane">Chancery Lane</a>.<a href="#cite_note-IMOHistoryInPics-7">[7]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Structure">Structure</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=International_Maritime_Organization&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Structure">edit</a>]</div> The IMO consists of an Assembly, a Council and five main Committees.<a href="#cite_note-IntroductionUKS-2">[2]</a> The organization is led by a Secretary-General.<a href="#cite_note-IntroductionUKS-2">[2]</a> A number of Sub-Committees support the work of the main technical committees.<a href="#cite_note-14">[14]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Governance_of_IMO">Governance of IMO</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=International_Maritime_Organization&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: Governance of IMO">edit</a>]</div> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Secretary_Generals,_International_Maritime_Organization.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/1d/Secretary_Generals%2C_International_Maritime_Organization.jpg/220px-Secretary_Generals%2C_International_Maritime_Organization.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="99" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/1d/Secretary_Generals%2C_International_Maritime_Organization.jpg/330px-Secretary_Generals%2C_International_Maritime_Organization.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/1d/Secretary_Generals%2C_International_Maritime_Organization.jpg/440px-Secretary_Generals%2C_International_Maritime_Organization.jpg 2x" data-file-width="4032" data-file-height="1816" /></a><figcaption>The International Maritime Organization wall honouring former Secretaries-General</figcaption></figure> The governing body of the International Maritime Organization is the Assembly which meets every two years.

sea, facilitate trade among seafaring states and protect the maritime environment. The most well known is the <a href="/wiki/SOLAS_Convention" title="SOLAS Convention">International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea</a> (SOLAS), as well as <a href="/wiki/MARPOL_73/78" title="MARPOL 73/78">International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships</a> (MARPOL). Others include the International Oil Pollution Compensation Funds (IOPC).<a href="#cite_note-iocp-28">[28]</a> It also functions as a depository of yet to be ratified treaties, such as the International Convention on Liability and Compensation for Damage in Connection with the Carriage of Hazardous and Noxious Substances by Sea, 1996 (<a href="/wiki/HNS_Convention" title="HNS Convention">HNS Convention</a>) and Nairobi International Convention of Removal of Wrecks (2007).<a href="#cite_note-Removal_of_Wrecks-29">[29]</a> IMO regularly enacts regulations, which are broadly enforced by national and local maritime authorities in member countries, such as the <a href="/wiki/International_Regulations_for_Preventing_Collisions_at_Sea" title="International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea">International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea</a> (COLREG). The IMO has also enacted a <a href="/wiki/Port_state_control" title="Port state control">Port state control</a> (PSC) authority, allowing domestic maritime authorities such as <a href="/wiki/Coast_guard" title="Coast guard">coast guards</a> to inspect foreign-flag ships calling at ports of the many port states. Memoranda of Understanding (protocols) were signed by some countries unifying Port State Control procedures among the signatories.<a href="#cite_note-IntroductionUKS-2">[2]</a> Conventions, Codes and

The First Intersessional Meeting of IMO's Working Group on Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Ships took place in Oslo, Norway (23–27 June 2008), tasked with developing the technical basis for the reduction mechanisms that may form part of a future IMO regime to control <a href="/wiki/Greenhouse_gas_emissions" title="Greenhouse gas emissions">greenhouse gas emissions</a> from international shipping, and a draft of the actual reduction mechanisms themselves, for further consideration by IMO's Marine Environment Protection Committee (MEPC).<a href="#cite_note-50">[50]</a> The IMO participated in the <a href="/wiki/2015_United_Nations_Climate_Change_Conference" title="2015 United Nations Climate Change Conference">2015 United Nations Climate Change Conference</a> in Paris seeking to establish itself as the "appropriate international body to address greenhouse gas emissions from ships engaged in international trade".<a href="#cite_note-51">[51]</a> Nonetheless, there has been widespread criticism of the IMO's relative inaction since the conclusion of the Paris conference, with the initial data-gathering step of a three-stage process to reduce maritime greenhouse emissions expected to last until 2020.<a href="#cite_note-52">[52]</a> In 2018, the <a href="/wiki/Initial_IMO_Strategy_on_the_reduction_of_GHG_emissions_from_ships" title="Initial IMO Strategy on the reduction of GHG emissions from ships">Initial IMO Strategy on the reduction of GHG emissions from ships</a> was adopted.<a href="#cite_note-Kopela2020-53">[53]</a> In 2021, The New York Times wrote that the IMO "has repeatedly delayed and watered down climate regulations".<a href="#cite_note-54">[54]</a> The IMO has also taken action to mitigate the global effects of ballast water and sediment discharge, through the 2004 <a href="/wiki/Ballast_Water_Management_Convention" title="Ballast Water Management Convention">Ballast Water Management Convention</a>, which entered into force in September 2017.<a href="#cite_note-IMO-BWM-media-55">[55]</a> In December 2023 the IMO adopted a resolution targeting "dark fleet" tankers that form a risk by undertaking illegal and unsafe activities at sea. Primarily working for Iran and Russia to breach international sanctions, the tankers, many of which are elderly and unreliable, often undertake mid ocean transfers in an attempt to evade sanctions. The resolution calls upon flag states to “adhere to measures which lawfully prohibit or regulate” the transfer of cargoes at sea, known as ship-to-ship transfers.<a href="#cite_note-56">[56]</a> <div
