The purposes of the IMO, as set
forth in the convention, are the
following:
1. to facilitate cooperation
among governments on
technical matters of all
kinds affecting shipping
engaged in international
trade;
2. to encourage the general
adoption of the highest
practicable standards in
matters concerning
maritime safety, efficiency
of navigation, and the
prevention and control of
marine pollution;
3. to encourage the removal
of discriminatory action
and unnecessary
restrictions by governments
engaged in international
trade, so as to promote
the availability of shipping
services to world
commerce without
discrimination;
4. to consider matters
concerning unfair
restrictive practices by
shipping concerns; and
5. to consider any matters
concerning shipping that
may be referred to the
IMO by any UN organ or
specialized agency.
