BIMCO's position on "keep regulation global" has been approved by the BIMCO Board of Directors.
Around 90% of global trade is transported by sea. Shipping is crucial for global trade. It also delivers a range of indispensable services especially in the offshore sector.
International conventions govern maritime transport, including safety and security, environment protection, liability and compensation as well as standards of training and watch keeping. Their effective application depends on swift and broad ratification and uniform implementation by states.
The lack of ratifications creates uncertainty in the application of a global regulatory framework for shipping and a risk of unilateral regulations.
