Our aim<\/h4>\n\n
IMCA is active globally, regionally and nationally in representing our Members to governments and regulatory bodies. We lobby for sensible, workable and effective regulations. <\/p>\n\n

Our activities<\/h4>\n\n
An important part of IMCA\u2019s work is representation on a number of joint government-industry committees and other relevant bodies. We also work collaboratively with other trade associations in areas of common interest.<\/p>\n\n
IMCA holds non-governmental observer status at the International Maritime Organization (IMO). We frequently attend IMO meetings to keep abreast of the latest developments and provide input based on Members\u2019 combined experience and expertise.<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n\n
