IMO MOVES TO ENHANCE INTERNATIONAL MARITIME SECURITY

The article reviews the aggressive plan created by the U.S. delegation to the International Maritime Organization (IMO) to achieve international security improvements. At a seemingly impossible pace by pre-September 11th standards, the plan substantially tightened security throughout the world. From November 2001 to December 2002, the rapid adoption of substantial amendments to the 1974 Convention of Safety of Life at Sea to enhance security demonstrated impressive international cooperation. The entire maritime community now has an aggressive plan to substantially tighten security throughout the world.
