Objectives of this Overview
• International Maritime Organization – What is it? Where does it get its mandate?
• Relationship between the UN Law of the Sea and IMO conventions, treaties, resolutions and codes
• How does IMO contribute to safe shipping and marine environmental protection for ships traveling through or to the Aleutians?

IMO has its own Secretary-General
Shipping is perhaps the most international of all the world's global industries....... making it imperative that they are governed by global standards that can be applied to, and recognized, by all.

Where does an international treaty or convention get its teeth?
• When it is ratified and adopted by a nation-state.
• Entry into force is controlled by Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties
![Page 17: 02 Eley IMO Presentation](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051712/586cfef81a28ab42788bfb6a/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
IMO Conventions Fall Under
1. Safety 2. Environmental
Protection 3. Liability and
Compensation (especially in relation to damage caused by pollution)
![Page 18: 02 Eley IMO Presentation](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051712/586cfef81a28ab42788bfb6a/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Conventions The three most comprehensive sets of rules and
standards on
Safety (SOLAS) Pollution prevention (MARPOL) and Training and certification of seafarers (STCW)
have been ratified by 158, 147 and 151 States, respectively (representing approximately 99% gross tonnage of the world’s merchant fleet).
![Page 19: 02 Eley IMO Presentation](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051712/586cfef81a28ab42788bfb6a/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
How does a Code Improve Safety and Environmental Protection?
Examples: ISPS Code, ISM Code, IMDG Code
Typically, incorporated into a Convention
![Page 20: 02 Eley IMO Presentation](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051712/586cfef81a28ab42788bfb6a/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
IMO Work Subsequent to September 11, 2001
International Ship and Port Security Code (ISPS)
![Page 21: 02 Eley IMO Presentation](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051712/586cfef81a28ab42788bfb6a/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
SOLAS Chapters V, XI & XI-2
• AIS (automatic identification systems)
• Ship identification numbers • CSR (continuous synopsis
record) • Security measures: SSAS,
Plans, SSO
![Page 22: 02 Eley IMO Presentation](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051712/586cfef81a28ab42788bfb6a/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
IMO and the Law of the Sea
![Page 23: 02 Eley IMO Presentation](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051712/586cfef81a28ab42788bfb6a/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Essentially
• UNCLOS defines the features and extent of the concepts of flag, coastal and port State jurisdiction
• IMO instruments specify how State jurisdiction should be exercised so as to ensure compliance with safety and shipping anti-pollution regulations.
![Page 24: 02 Eley IMO Presentation](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051712/586cfef81a28ab42788bfb6a/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Coastal States • In general, IMO treaties do not regulate the nature and
extent of coastal State jurisdiction. • Degree to which coastal States enforce IMO regulations
in respect of foreign ships in innocent passage in their territorial waters or navigating the exclusive economic zone (EEZ) is a subject to be regulated by UNCLOS.
• The same principle applies to transit passage in straits used for international navigation or to archipelagic sea lane passage in archipelagic waters.
• Note: MARPOL includes provisions on monitoring and investigating illegal discharges of harmful substances into the marine environment.

SOLAS
1974 Convention of Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) Note: '1974' is a bit of a misnomer. SOLAS was adopted in 1974, entered into force in 1980, and has had major amendments almost every year since.
![Page 27: 02 Eley IMO Presentation](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051712/586cfef81a28ab42788bfb6a/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)

SOLAS
• The first version was adopted in 1914, in response to the Titanic disaster
• The main objective of the SOLAS Convention is to specify minimum standards for the construction, equipment and operation of ships, compatible with their safety.
• Flag States ensure compliance • A number of certificates are prescribed in the
Convention as proof that this has been done.
![Page 31: 02 Eley IMO Presentation](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051712/586cfef81a28ab42788bfb6a/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
A note about “Flags of Convenience” (Open Registry)
Ex. Liberia does not tax foreign source shipping income of non-resident Liberian registered corporations.
Issue is flag-state overview
Evaluate by looking at Port-State detention records
![Page 32: 02 Eley IMO Presentation](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051712/586cfef81a28ab42788bfb6a/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
SOLAS Certificates Key feature: Use
Classification Societies
Concerns about the overuse of Classification Societies and lead to formation of the Paris and Tokyo MOU’s on Port State Control
![Page 33: 02 Eley IMO Presentation](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051712/586cfef81a28ab42788bfb6a/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Port State Control
SOLAS allows Contracting Governments to inspect ships of other Contracting States if there are clear grounds for believing that the ship and its equipment do not substantially comply with the requirements of the Convention.
![Page 34: 02 Eley IMO Presentation](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051712/586cfef81a28ab42788bfb6a/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
ISM Code SOLAS Chapter IX - Management for the Safe
Operation of Ships
The Chapter makes mandatory the International Safety Management (ISM) Code, which requires a safety management system to be established by the shipowner or any person who has assumed responsibility for the ship (the "Company").
Incorporates STCW…………..

Noxious Liquid Substances in Bulk Annex III Prevention of Pollution by Harmful Substances
Carried by Sea in Packaged Form Annex IV Prevention of Pollution by Sewage from Ships Annex V Prevention of Pollution by Garbage from Ships Annex VI Prevention of Air Pollution from Ships (entry into

Philosophical Features of MARPOL
• "precautionary approach" as a general obligation.
• "the polluter should, in principle, bear the cost of pollution"
• Contracting Parties should ensure pollution not simply transferred from one part of the environment to another.
![Page 39: 02 Eley IMO Presentation](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051712/586cfef81a28ab42788bfb6a/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Special Areas
• "special areas" which are considered to be so vulnerable to pollution by oil that oil discharges within them have been completely prohibited, with minor and well‑defined exceptions.
• Mediterranean Sea, Black Sea, Baltic Sea, Red Sea and the Persia Gulf are special areas.
![Page 40: 02 Eley IMO Presentation](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051712/586cfef81a28ab42788bfb6a/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
