	International Transport Workers' Federation: Putting the seafarer first
		That is why, the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) – the United Nations specialised agency with responsibility for the safety and security of shipping and the prevention of marine pollution by ships – places considerations of the human element at the centre of its work.
		That is why IMO’s revised Convention on Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping for Seafarers (STCW), which is designed to make sure that the human resource available to the shipping industry meets the required standards, is one of the most important measures to be considered by IMO in recent years.
		IMO was also concerned to ensure the correct balance between tightening security provisions so that criminals and terrorists cannot gain access to ships and ports by posing as seafarers, while ensuring that innocent seafarers are not themselves unfairly penalised as a result – for example, by denying them shore leave.

	Regional Maritime Programme - Strategic Direction (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Since the 1960s, international bodies such as the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) have sought to regulate international shipping through the development of international treaties, conventions and codes intended to promote a commercial level playing-field and provide for uniform application and enforcement of ship and port safety standards, security requirements, management practices and pollution prevention regulations.
		Maritime departments are usually staffed by experienced former mariners who would benefit from training to assist them in taking on management or administrative roles ashore.
		One of the obstacles to efficient management of the maritime transport sector is a lack of accurate data for the region about the number of seafarers and their current levels of qualification.
