Sustainable maritime development IMO attended the “Rio+20” United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development in Rio de Janeiro, in June 2012, and explained how international shipping contributes significantly to the three pillars of sustainable development, the eradication of poverty and the widespread development of green growth. IMO also presented its vision of a framework for Sustainable Maritime Development, and its plans to develop Sustainable Development Goals for the maritime industry, focusing on eight pillars: Shipping is the most efficient and cost-effective method of international transportation for most goods; it provides a dependable, low cost means of transporting goods globally, facilitating commerce and helping to create prosperity among nations and peoples. 1. safety culture and environment stewardship; 2. energy efficiency; 3. new technology and innovation; 4. maritime education and training; 5. maritime security and antipiracy actions; 6. maritime traffic management; 7. maritime infrastructure development; and 8. adoption and implementation of global standards by IMO. www.imo.org 13
OTHER MATTERS In 1965 IMO adopted the Convention on Facilitation of International Maritime Traffic. Its primary objectives are to prevent unnecessary delays in maritime traffic, to aid co-operation between Governments, and to secure the highest practicable degree of uniformity in formalities and procedures in connection with the arrival, stay and departure of ships at ports. The Convention came into force in 1967. In 1971 IMO, in association with the International Atomic Energy Agency and the European Nuclear Agency of the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development, convened a conference which adopted the Convention relating to Civil Liability in the Field of Maritime Carriage of Nuclear Material. In 1974 IMO adopted the Athens Convention relating to the Carriage of Passengers and their Luggage by Sea, which established a regime of liability for damage suffered by passengers carried on seagoing vessels. property claims, such as damage to ships, property or harbour works. For most of the last century, salvage at sea was based on a formula known as “no cure, no pay”. While it was successful in most cases, the formula did not take pollution into account: a salvor who prevents massive pollution damage but does not save the ship and its cargo can expect no compensation. The 1989 International Convention on Salvage was adopted to remedy this defect. It entered into force in July 1996. In 2007, IMO adopted the Nairobi International Convention on the Removal of Wrecks, 2007, which provides the legal basis for States to remove, or have removed, shipwrecks that may have the potential to affect adversely the safety of lives, goods and property at sea, as well as the marine environment. The general question of the liability of owners of ships was dealt with in a convention adopted in 1957. In 1976 IMO adopted a new Convention on Limitation of Liability for Maritime Claims (LLMC) which raised the limits, in some cases by 300%. Limits are specified for two types of claim – those for loss of life or personal injury and 14 What it is
