The IMO is a specialised agency of the United Nations, responsible for measures to improve the safety of international shipping and to limit marine pollution from ships.

The IMO was established to adopt legislation, with implementation being the responsibility of individual Governments. When a Government accepts an IMO convention, it agrees to make it part of its own law and to enforce it.

Legislation issued by the IMO includes requirements on air pollution control and the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions associated to international shipping.
