One thing that no seafarer can avoid is to not to deal with IMO conventions.
IMO conventions run the shipping trade.
Now try saying that ten times.
But seriously, without all these IMO conventions
- there would be many more accidents
- there would be much more pollution, and
- there would be many more sub-standard ships
I say this even when I am of the opinion that few of the IMO conventions are poorly implemented in the industry.
But for we seafarers who are not maritime lawyers, the process of IMO conventions confuse us.
After all, there are so many terms associated with the IMO conventions.
